The article answers that clearly. Read it then when you come back you'll have an informed opinion.

The article didn't specify what ESPN's profit and revenue were. They stated that Disney's profit and revenue were up, but that includes all things Disney including theme parks. And they said the revenue missed expectations. That's all I got out of the article.

I have Sling TV, I've had it a few months.

It's ok, the thing that sucks so far with sporting events is that I'm about 30 seconds to 1 minute behind. When I follow this forum in a game while watching ESPN - I'll see people say things and then I'll watch it happen.

I've read about the crap outs and hope they got it fixed. Thus far I haven't had any troubles, but I can't think of any big sporting events outside Alabama games that I've watched on it. No NCAA tourney or anything, which I would only watch if Alabama was in. ESPN carries all the bowl games so that will be a big test for me.

The main thing that pisses me off about the service is the 1 stream limit. That will ultimately be the reason I tell them to kiss my butt.

If they had a DVR service attached to them, I'd get rid of my direct tv and go with them, even if the DVR option cost me $15-20 a month.

I think you can buy a stand-alone DVR. I'm planning on doing that to use wtih my DTV antennae.
