I don't. I don't want to pay extra for it. Things such as Olympics or football championship are on public broadcast TV. Which is the only stuff I watch from cable. The rest is encumbered with pulp advertising anyway. Time is money.
However, if you want cable internet here, you get cable TV forced upon your throat...
- solatic 7y agoThe leagues will eventually get around to offering live and on-demand direct to the consumer - the cable networks don't own the statiums or the teams, broadcast gear is freely available on the open market, and servers are a commodity. Cutting out the middleman is an inevitability. The bigger question in my mind is whether a company will come along to build and market such a solution to the leagues (seeing as how there are many local/minor and foreign leagues that could benefit from similar tech), or whether the larger leagues will build it in-house first.
