Let the cord cutting begin!

I'm ditching Sling for this service. App is way better and comes with all the channels you want.

No AT&T Sports Network for Astros or HBO option.

Is it even possible to stream the Astros via AT&T Sports Network?

Not unless something's changed since I last checked a couple of weeks ago. As soon as AT&TSN is on this, I'm there.

You can stream it, but it's a pain and you have to have use a log in for a service that already has the ATT Sports Channel or whatever they changed it to from Roots. I use my parents Direct TV log in.

You have to download the MLB At Bat App. Make the Astros your favorite team. When a game starts open the app and scroll down a little on the Astros page and you will see an orange icon that says "watch live". Click on that and it will have you enter your Direct TV log in and then the game will play. Airplay it up on the TV and you are good to go.

And no you do not have to pay for MLB At Bat.

Here is as long thread about how to do it if my instructions didn't cut it.

I thought youtube tv was only available in phone/tablet form. Not available for apple tv, fire tv, roku etc...

That's kind of a non starter if you ask me.

Yeah but if you have Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay you can simply play it through that and on your TV.

Chromecast and Reddit streams work great. Just made this discovery and watched the game last night without a problem.

Probably going to pull the trigger on the 1-month trial, it has everything I want, but the wife is bummed there's no Food Network or HGTV.

Does anyone know of any options out there that include those as well?

HBOgo is a thing that exists.

Just pay the $15/month when GoT and WestWorld are in-season and then drop it

That is HBO Now. HBO Go is the service for those that subscribe to HBO through their cable or satellite provider.

Hell, thats a positive, not a negative. I'd pay extra to keep them unavailable.

It's still nice just turning on Stros or Rockets games without having to find a decent stream. It's nice getting full 1080 resolution.

Until I can get a dependable HD source of local sports, I am stuck to cable.

I've had dependable HD streams the last two times. Really not that bad.

You guys got me all excited about watching the Stros in the At Bat app until my dreams were dashed when I got to the Subscriber Login screen and realized that Xfinity still isn't supported.

I just find it pretty funny when people post how they have cut the cord but this is part of the plan. It's like people thinking they have this whole "adult" thing down but still live at home.

And for the record, I hate Comcast.

Ya. I got nephews in college who don't have cable but have internet and are sports junkies. So they live off my xfinity log in.

Using a friend's or family's login to watch sports because you don't want to pay $80+ just for one channel? Sounds pretty ****ing smart and fiscally responsible to me.

So my plan is to get rid of DTV next month when my contract is up. I'll have YouTube TV everywhere in my house and get one Comcast box with no DVR. $35 for for YouTube and $40 for Comcast to add on top of my internet plan. I think this will work and get me Astros for this season. Hopefully next season I can just buy an MLB package if they pull their blackout B's.

Buy the MLB.tv subscription and get a VPN so they don't know you're in Houston.

By the MLB.tv subscription and get a VPN so they don't know you're in Houston.
Or a one-time $35 chromecast and go here for streams: https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBStreams/

You people are making this much more difficult than it needs to be.
