TV Streaming Service?

[Catch Prothro]

I have a questioon men? Can you get Hulu on TV or on commputer? Right now only thing I can watch is our SEC games on cbssports on computer. RTR!

If you only want ESPN football then Sling might be your best choice because they have a $25 "Orange" package that includes ESPN and ESPN2.

You can watch on your computer, and if you have a Roku or Amazon Fire stick and internet then you can watch on your TV too.

Right now Sling is offering a FREE ROKU STICK if you prepay for one month.

For the record (ricky), I'm trying out Sling for a month.  I went with the Orange package at $25/month, which is the cheapest package I found that would give me live coverage of ESPN bowl games.  Also, with the free Roku Express stick (which normally costs around $25), it was like getting free service for a month.

I have decent internet service, and so far the game coverage on Sling has been fine.  A few very minor glitches, but it would have been much worse with DTV given the weather we have been having.  I cannot DVR any games on ESPN, but I can watch them later on demand.

The channel selection is limited, the guide is from the 1980s, and I can only stream on one TV/device at a time with Orange -- but it got me bowl games and a Roku stick for a month.  (Sling's Orange package is Disney owned channels, including ESPN.  The $25 Blue package is FOX owned channels and gives you three TV/device streams.  Or you can combine the two -- Orange plus Blue -- for $40, then pay another $5 for ESPNU/SECN.)

I'll probably try Hulu next month, which is $40/month but includes more channels, including SECN, ESPNU and the other mentioned ESPN college sports channels, the FOX sports channels, the Olympic Channel and other sports channels that are extra on Sling (these provide coverage of sports I watch in the off-season), more entertainment channels, plus Hulu's library of movies and their TV series, Cloud DVR service and two TV/device streams instead of the one I currently get on Blue.  I might update again after I've tried Hulu.

Please do CP. I am interested in Hulu myself.  Also,  who do you get your interwebs from?

Also,  who do you get your interwebs from?

I have Wow (Knology) Internet 100 for $29/month.  It's not quite as fast as that, and my son, the computer guru and heavy gamer, complains about occasional latency issues, but it works well for me.  Before that I used Comcast, which has better internet for gaming but is more expensive, especially after my contract expired.

Since these services reward new customers and not loyal customers, I switch around every few years.

Gotcha.  I live out in the county to your east and the only options I have currently for interweb access is either Charter cable (which we have) and North Alabama Electric Coop.

Beautiful country over there, terrible internet apparently.   

Huntsville is such a high tech city that we have lots of choices.  Wow/Knology, Comcast/Xfinity, AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, Spectrum/Charter, Mediacom, N.AL. Elect. Coop...
