Was using the Amazon Fire Cube to run my streaming apps. Replaced "cable" with YouTubeTV. It gets just about everything I want to see.
OK, I have to pirate the Stars games because (a) the NHL has stupid blackout rules and (b) fsck Bally's and Sinclair in their earhole with a rusty spoon.
Of course, nobody has LHN. For the two games per year that I care, I'll grab a Sling subscription for a month.

Well, the other day, I splurged and upgraded the TV. Probably don't need the Amazon doohicky any more.

Spectrum has LHN on the basic sports tier.  If you get ESPN/2, you get LHN.

Ive seen LHN on Dish from day 1
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

If by "my neighborhood" you mean "all of Texas" then sure.

I used to have it back up North when we had Xfinity, but now with Hulu we do not get it. Get BTN and all the rest of the stuff we need to watch what we want to see. 

Peacock will be a different story, but hopefully that will become the Rutgers and Maryland Network... Cuz nobody watches those teams.

I don't have BTN down here, on any of my normal services.  I think I could pay extra to get it maybe.  Which obviously isn't going to happen.

As droog said, you can get LHN on Sling if you do the streaming thing.

It'll be irrelevant in the next couple of years, anyway.  LHN will get absorbed back into ESPN/SECN, and that chapter of history will be over. 

Sadly, I think it probably means we won't get as much live coverage of UT baseball and volleyball, which is what I really love about LHN.  Competing in the same time slots with 15 other schools, is going to take its toll.

BTN has done a really good job with the Olympic sports coverage. It was rare for us to not be able to watch a volleyball match. Is there baseball in college?

If 14 B1G teams are all playing volleyball against OOC opponents on the same basic schedule (roughly the same few days, and same time of day, since windows are limited for student athletes), how do they cover all of it live?

And of course there's baseball in college.  It's the only level of baseball that matters.

BTN always has 3-4 overflow channels on at a time, so when there are multiple games, they use those channels.

Ah okay, cool.  Didn't know that.  Seeing as I've never actually seen BTN and all. :)

Hopefully SECN does something similar.  I've never seen that, either.

Most of the Texas sports not sucked up by LHN land on ESPN+. If you've got Disney+ and/or Hulu, it becomes a cheap add on to that. Once LHN is obviated, that's where I'd expect most of that content to land.

Yeah I've got the Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu package.  It's a bargain.

But once Texas moves to the SEC, do you think the content will end up on ESPN+, or on SECN?  Or is that basically the same thing?
