I'm thinking of dropping Directv, but I have to make sure we have access to college football....specifically Longhorn network?

SlingTV or PlayStation Vue, neither have LHN but hopefully you were joking about that.
No joking. Hubby is a Longhorn fan.
Move to Austin
We have a ROKU and use the WatchESPN app. A family member was kind enough to share their password so we could cut cable but still watch football. Got sick of paying $130 when all we really turned it on for was freaking DisneyJR.
The answer to this question usually involves going out to bars/restaurants during live sporting events, but I doubt many establishments in this town will be showing LHN.
Cutting cable and stealing cable aren't the same thing.
Your husband does realize that the LHN only televised about 2 to 3 live football games each season. 2 will be against out of conference cupcakes and one will be a tough match up for the horns against either Kansas or Iowa State.
I am going playstation vue. It should give him access to watch espn app that would have lhn. That way you can watch SEC network on the big screen and he can go off with an ipad in another room.
Seriously though, lhn does not have support in the cord cutting world.

Good to know! I'm not a football fan so this is not an issue for me...lol!

Most of the nation would consider the current tu team an out of conference cupcake!

LHN
Longhorn History Network
Where tu fans relive the glory days, and say to themselves "if Colt hadn't got hurt" over and over and over.
I think a coworker get another t-shirt fans password for WatchESPN app to watch the games.

I stand corrected, Vue has it available with the core slim package at $35 per month.
But he really should go to another room to watch it.

Dang, the LHN is still up and running? Figured they would pull the plug on that sinking ship by now.
The only thing stopping us from cutting the cable tv for the last 5 years was fall football. 2 months ago, we found sling tv for $20 an added a $5 sports package (no LHN but we don't care about that one. At. All.) We also bought an antenna for the major stations. Our monthly bill went from $110 to just under $30 with tax and such. Suddenlink will have to survive without us.

We also have Amazon prime, some good movies on there if you hunt. I think they just added the Dude (the Big Lebowski).

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Dumb question...had enough of Dish and $100.00/month. Impressed with Sling but how do you record shows you can't watch that day/evening? Guy at Sling said there isn't anything we can buy that can record show "Legally".
