I have Comcast internet only and YouTube TV. The Pats / Bs and Cs are available, not sure about BC sports. Check it out. Youtube TV is not free but it's a whole lot cheaper than any cable package from Comcast. Youtube TV has a lot of sports channels, far more than I have interest in.

How are you watching the B's? YTTV does not have NESN...

I listen to the games on the radio/streaming to be honest or look for a free reddit stream occasionally, screw NESN for their $30/month plan to stream.

Can’t really watch half the bruins season or half of baseball season. Basically the playoffs. And obviously most Yankees Sox series shit like that

So you’re saying my Comcast with Internet only is going to be 83 and then 64 a month for YouTube TV so that’s 147 and I’m at about 195 currently in my Comcast bill

Right now, my Comcast internet is 59.99 per month (2-year introductory rate that ends soon for me) for 600 mbps. YoutubeTV is 65 per month so I pay 125 month total for both. I don't rent modem/router from Comcast and that has already paid for itself. If you're renting from Comcast it'll be a bit more, maybe the 83 you mentioned. Check out Youtube TV to see if the channels work for you.

I pay $30 for 300mbps comcast internet. You're paying too much. I also split my youtube TV with another household so that's only $30.

$60 a month for internet and TV.

You gotta play the game in this world.

Edit: Looks like they upgraded me to 400Mbit recently, too.

How’d you get 30 for 300. New customer?

2

tapakip t1_isv7yhp wrote

Yes and no. It's a new customer deal, but I'm not a new customer. We just put it in one person's name and then switch to the other person after the deal is done. Been doing it for decades now. I dunno why they allow it, but they do.

Just threaten to leave for another company and they’ll give you a better deal. We’ve done it a million times

Same. Also you can share amongst five people if you have friends.

The NHL might as well be actively encouraging pirated streams at this point

There’s a streaming tv service called fubo and it gets NESN. I cancel it and hop over to YouTubeTV during the off season. I know that fubo sounds like an off-brand fake streaming service, but it’s real!

We also use Fubo and it's interface is just like YouTube TV. Once YTTV ditched NESN, fubo was the only choice. We like it... live TV channels, typical cable package channels, too.

HD antenna hoss 25 bucks.

Quincyperson t1_isuk3k0 wrote

HD antenna works great for the Pats. It’s great for the rest of the NFL or if you need a college fix. I actually prefer to watch it on my antenna TV as a small victory against Comcast. Yeah, they are still getting my $200 or whatever I pay them now, but it’s a psychological victory in my mind

If your parents/relatives still pay for fancy cable packages, password sharing is a godsend. Other than that, arrr matey.

bostonmacosx OP t1_isx5n1j wrote

How can you share that ?

1

GreatStrengthOfFeet t1_it0nb4q wrote

Google the game, click on “watch live” and Google will tell you what network is airing it. Download that network’s app on your roku, fire stick, smart tv, whatever. Most networks will have a “cable provider login” like TNT, FS1, etc. Also for some reason I get TBS for free on my Roku stick (with ads). I’m not sure if this will work with the Boston specific networks like NESN though.

Patriots are no problem with an antenna. The rest, I just listen to on the radio, check national games when available or watch a recap on YouTube. Its not my ideal method but its what works best for me right now. I kinda miss the days where I didn't have to subscribe to a new service or get a new package for every little thing I want to watch.
