Any cordcutters / streamers found a way to get NFL Network? I had PSV but that went away at the end of January.

Sling, but then you have no Regional Sports Networks. I dumped Sling last fall for YouTubeTV so I could still watch the Twins and Wild. Do I miss NFL network? Not one bit. Smile

I have an antenna for local channels...that I never watch. And I never watch regional sports either. Thinking about Sling but the only channel I would watch would be NFLN. And that only for Path to the Draft and the draft itself. Is that worth $30 a month? Thinking not. Could probably find everything I need online, between Youtube and other things. And if I remember right, you can pretty much "watch" the draft on NFL.com or ESPN.com. I think I'll go with status quo and re-evaluate come football season.

I have YoutubeTV and it's great.
What it doesn't have:
NFL Network :'( 5.1 Surround Sound :'( History ChannelPBS (though your market might have this)MTV/Nickelodeon/other channels I don't miss
What it does have:
Basically every other sports channelEvery other channel I'd wantUnlimited DVR with fast forwarding
Great free VOD options for shows and movies that have aired recently, though these may have ads

No NFL Network and 5.1 sound hurts. But everything else YTTV offers is worth it to me for $50/month. About half of TNF games are aired on Fox/Amazon/Twitter. For the other half it's bars or streaming sites.

I agree you may not need to have a
streaming service. I love the Twins and I'm a hockey fan (Wild and
college), so Fox Sports North is my main reason for "live"
streaming. We do watch CNN, HGTV, ESPN, NBC and CBS sports networks, and
Triple D on the Food Network too.

Last week YouTube TV announced they
couldn't come to an agreement with Sinclair Broadcasting who now owns the Fox
Regional Sports networks, so I was all ready to switch to Hulu. Then on
Saturday YouTube announced they have a temporary agreement until the main
contract pricing is resolved.

It's nice none of these
"live" services have contracts. It sure makes switching between
them a whole lot easier.

I believe they are still negotiating, but a deal has been reached for a short-term extension (they haven't said how long). So there's hope on this front.
