Welcome to the world of cable cutting on-demand streaming services where all content has to compete for bandwidth. You gain millions of TV shows and movies for super cheap, but if you want sports you gotta pay $160 for the NBA season. Something about having cake and eating it too.
I've had MLB.tv, NBA LP, and NFL Sunday Ticket since the start. If you pay attention to the deals, sometimes you can lock yourself into a bargain. I don't know if they still do it for new signups, but I'm on 15-20 year old rates for all of them after buying into lifetime rates and I'm willing to bet a good chunk of people here have shopped out good deals too, many have locked into deals. Or they just VPN, find a pirate stream, hey, that's your right to protest, you just can't share those links here.
Move on, don't look back. You get 4k+ sport content, which is better than most movies at 4k+. Digital antenna service is a waste of air transmission space, not the sword anyone should try and die on, and I know it's temping, you just wont be happy in the end. Sorry for sounding like an ass about it, it's nothing personal. My statement is more for this mysterious group of hold-outs that think the teams are going to just raise record payrolls and give away the product for free. You can ***** about greed, but nothing is going to change there. So do the next best thing, deal-snipe and get a good contract. Remember that in the end, you can package up your services and pay less than you would have for cable(plus whatever inflation cost specific to cable/dish that exists today).
