More than one was streaming sports. Does this spell the end of Justin TV, hockey streams and other similar sites in the US?

again they would more than likely not have this problem if they would like, let us just buy the shit online. Seriously, I would pay to get CSN online to be able to watch streamed local hawks games.



Do cable providers really compensate them that much? All networks can just cut the fucking middle man out and offer monthly subscriptions online. I honestly watch maybe 5 fucking channels, thats it.

Pretty much agree tsd. And they can make it affordable also. I too watch maybe 5 channels but am forced to pay for shit like the automobile channel and the country music channel. Two things i really don't care about. Cable companies suck esp when they have a monopoly which most do.



As for sports. Im only watching online feeds because i don't get the games i want to watch from my cable company unless i fork out big bucks for a specialty channel. Also because Im not home infront of a television most of the time. Im at work or elsewhere. Online streaming for a large part has become a form of radio for me. If that makes sense.

Damn the man!

And thanks for shitty broadcasting arrangements like WGN, why can't I go online and just pay to watch one game here and there?

There sites you can do that icehog. Problem is its still pretty pricey after a while. 15 bucks a game? I don't know that seems a bit much to me personally. And we aren't talking high def either. Choppy feeds and no better than the ones that are free. Then you still have to worry about payment security and all that good stuff.



Just not worth it yet.
