I really only watch sports. I might have to be without for a while. I will have the internet though. Whether if I pay for it or bum someone's wireless.

But basketball season is coming up, I have access to an NBA Broadband account, so I can watch the games on my laptop. But when it comes to college games, does ESPN show EVERY game they televise on their website as well?

Also, how can I watch NBATV without having cable?

Get a job and save to pay your bills. Just got Fios and it really doesnt cost much.  I don't know what else to say to you.

That is really not the issue here. I have money. My concern has always been that I have felt cheated when paying for cable considering I really only watch basketball.

I am asking for a way to continue to get my fix without paying for cable and a bunch of channels I don't watch.
Go to the games. /thread

You feel cheated paying for cable? That is odd. Never heard of that.

Yea I feel cheated considering I don't use 1/10th of the channels I am paying for. So yes, I am feeling cheated.

Thats your issue. You cant escape America Money Making machine. Matter fact, why you pay for internet when you only view a few sites? There are millions of websites but you visit less than 100. You should only pay 15 cents a month on your internet.


Matter fact, don't even go to school. You don't need science or any other pointless class cause that's not what you like or plan on doing with your life.

Word I don't even have cable. I'm sure you can catch the games online somewhere after they've been played. Idk where you can find live streaming since I'm not much a sports watcher.

Edit-I think what DC was trying to say is that he doesn't watch/get the most out of cable. Cut internet? I know I use my internet.

The internet is my #1 form of entertainment. I have a large scope interests to the point that I am never bored. So I don't bother paying for it.

Really I am wondering if I had to pick between the two which one do I not want/need. And that is cable for me.

This. I watched every game of the World Championships on it. This year watched part of the Final Four in an airport on it. ESPN3 is great.
