Make sure you get enough internet juice to power the streaming @IDVikingfan...

Great point, I have high speed internet with 120 Mpbs download speed.  Should be sufficient, right?

I use my computer to stream hockey and basketball games and send to my TV through an hdmi cable or just use my monitor. It works for me. I tried Fubo tv before as well. I did an Apple TV trial too.

yup, Ive been watching the Vikings that way for a good 10 years now. 

I remember the first time I did and the quality was so bad you could barely read numbers on jerseys.

I have youtube tv. One tv is smart, so it uses the app. I use a Roku for the others. I wasn't aware of the feud between the two. Once you get past the no channel numbers thing, its a pretty easy interface. Hell, even my wife (packer fan) can navigate it...

We had this discussion in a different thread recently. Instead of paying for the expensive streaming services who will do the same rate creep crap as they do with Cable or Satellite, you should seriously look at getting an Android device like a Shield, which is what I have, or a Fire Stick that can stream from an IPTV provider. Some of those providers have free content, and others charge like the one I use for their premium service which is $18.99 per month. I get Thousands of channels from all over the world so I can watch all my favorite MN teams, but also the international sports like Rugby that I follow. Tons of on demand movies and all the pay per views like UFC are included. If you truly want to cut the cord, don't jump right back into bed with the same providers that have been screwing everybody on rates over the years like DirecTV. IPTV is the definitely the way to go for endless content and affordable cord cutting.

Interesting TBro!  I had not heard of IPTV before.  I'm a technology user not an IT guy.  After some internet searching and reading, it is apparent the IPTV has a significant learning curve for a total newbie like me.  More importantly, to make a change at my home, I'm gonna need to convince the missus that a change is a great idea and be the on-call IT guy for our home system. Bottom line, she had better be able to watch her shows and BSU + NFL football or there will be **** to pay...  Thus, I'm leaning toward an established streaming service with good to excellent reviews, a well defined tv programing list, well defined list of streaming devices, and a web site with well defined FAQ to help going through the learning curve.  Cook book for installation and getting started in my clear preference.  Saving money is great but I want peace of mind and resources to help if/when a technical problem occurs.  I do appreciate the heads up and will follow to see if/when a cookbook approach shows up for IPTV.
