I spent time looking at Direct TV Stream, Sling, Hulu and You Tube.

I've focused mainly on the Sports Channels for this board, but since I did the research, I'll throw in the family stuff too since if you are like me, my wife and kid have a say.
I also focused on the lowest and second lowest tiers.

Let me add that all platforms have HGTV & Food Network on the lowest tier.

I have DIRECTV Stream and it’s very good, the 1 drawback is not having CW here in Louisville due to a Nexstar contract dispute. Fortunately I can use a digital antenna and get a strong signal here for the CW ACC games

Just an FYI. I lost my password to MWC Tex and the email tied to it and had to create a new profile. So I have been able to update changes in the OP. However, a lot of changes have happen since 2017 when I started this and the public is more aware of streaming platforms than ever before. Hard to believe it has 6 years ago.
I’ll add to the posts if I come across anything that has not been mentioned, but won’t be able to update the OP to keep everything together.

I'm sure the forum admin can change the email address for your original account so that you can reset the password.

I just reached out to GTS on this. Hopefully he can take care of that for you.
