    So I have been ponying up for slingtv for two years now to be able to receive out-of-region PAC12 content and because I don't have some ridiculous cable package. It's ok, not great, not good, but ok. I can login from work, my phone, or home and watch football. So long as it's on either the Pac12 or an ESPN channel... no local broadcasts and no Fox Sports etc. I've got an antenna that works alright on my TV at home for local broadcasts in a pinch though reception can be spotty depending on the network. Any FS1 broadcasts mean I'm headed to the bar or my parents house.

    One of the features that sling used to have included was cloud dvr. I could record a game I wanted to see and then watch it at my leisure. Sometimes the dvr would let me skip commercials, sometimes it wouldn't. If it was really FS it would force me to sit through the whole broadcast without any fast forward or rewind ability. That doesn't sound bad except that it's liable to drop your recording and force you to watch everything all over again. At least I could watch what I wanted on a recording though. They have since made that feature an additional $5 a month add-on and buried in the fine print is that all ESPN live broadcasts can't be recorded essentially rendering it useless.

    I'm obviously not above finding a recording on youtube or through a reddit link but as we all know that's all hit or miss. It's also not great if you don't want to know the outcome ahead of time.

    Just wondering what everyone else's set ups look like and what the work arounds might look like to be able to watch live & record our Dwags.

    Ironically, when I lived overseas this was actually simpler and easier except for the part about being up at 330am for a live broadcast from the West coast. I'm considering a VPN with a DVR box set up but I'm not sure how complicated that gets. I used to use a jailbroken fire stick before the days of PAC12 network availability but I had to constantly update the software and search for new links/broadcasts just to be able to maybe watch a shitty stream bc no one gave a shit about PAC12 football.

    TIA for you knowledge.

    I have Xfinity and don't have to deal with any of that bullshit that you guys are talking about and just watch football.

    We don't have Xfinity in the trailer park.

    Fuck - people and their fucking TV. Just get Dish, pay $200 a month and you can watch anything, anywhere, anytime. All these fucking setups with different devices, apps, logins, fees. JFC.

    We DO have Dish in the trailer park and I am using it. Easy.

    I live in the sticks, and have full-meal-deal Dish. Fuck off, it's pretty great. No complaints.

    Could not get Dish at the current place but I realized I'm moving next month and I might be able to at the new place.

    Anyone get internet through Dish as well? What's the Dish sports bundle like? Can I watch shit from other devices online or no? Also, who has the coldest beer in town?

    I am actually curious now. TIA.

    Never tried Dish interwebz, but heard it sucks. Heard it from a drunk meth head though, so YMMV.
