What free streaming sites for sports are you using these days?

[trojanfan12]

It's such a pain in the ass now to just not pay for things. I can have all my TVs, tablets, computers and phones going at once and broadcasting all sorts of games. YoutubeTV split into quad box. Why would I want to fight popups, spam and malware to watch shit through a pirating site? I'm an adult, I have adult money now. Just pay for the thing.

lol

It's hilarious that you think throwing money away for stuff you can get for free makes you an "adult".

"Makes you stupid" is a much better descriptor for you.

The fuck you doing?

The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club

Except you can't get it for free. You have to battle pop ups, dead links, bad streams, malware, and nonsense to even try and get a stream of a (usually bad) stream of the game I'm guaranteed to get wherever I am at. I apparently value my time more than you do.

I don't battle any of that.

It's not throwing money away if you're happy with the result.

It's like paying someone to do your yard when you could save money by doing it yourself. It's just a tradeoff.

I just got one of those magic boxes that has everything. Literally everything. I can do picture in picture and watch RedZone and my game of choice at the same time.

Even found the FSU game on CW last Saturday with ease.

All fun and games until ESPN starts getting you strikes with your ISP

 

[Hitman Hart]

It's just so easy.

and a lot more reliable.

Sportsurge's site is still an aggregator of a bunch of streamers so that's useful for getting multiple options. StreameastHD was an option but it looks like that site got seized, alas...but it may have reopened with another link. LiveTV.sx is also still up and running as a last option but they can be hit or miss. And, as usual, onHockey is the best site for any and all hockey streams.

>It's such a pain in the ass now to just not pay for things.

It's as easy as it's ever been. I have the FOX/CBS games with the Lions on TV and fire up RedZone on my laptop. If a specific game gets interesting, I can switch to that on the laptop. If I want to get fancy, I can plug the laptop to a second TV.

Crackstream is an offshoot of stream East, I believe. Been using it for years.

I've been using these streams for close to 10 years at this point. Nothing like this ever happens.

Hasn't happened yet.

Stream east has been going for years. They will always pop back up.

Naw ESPN doesn't do that. And I'm not even sure the internet providers can really tell exactly what you're streaming and what network it was originally on.

Only time I've seen ISPs even get threatened was when I was with AT&T and I would get letters when I'd be caught downloading TV shows or movies...it seemed like I'd only get them when downloading HBO or Paramount stuff and that was only with newer shows. But, even then, I don't think AT&T was ever going to actually shut down my service...I remember I got what was my "9th notice" and each one would tell me to do something on AT&T's website to make sure I don't lose service. I never did any of this and never had my service interrupted. It's clear they were just sending me letters because certain partners required them but AT&T wasn't going to lose my business because of them.

I heard Comcast used to the do the same but I recently switched to them and have downloaded a bunch of things via torrents in the last year and haven't heard a peep from them.

Yeah, I figured. I just have to find the link to wherever they are nowadays.

The big thing that changed was that, this year actually, the SCOTUS ruled ISPs aren't as liable for copyright material coming over their networks as they used to be.

That said, it's a pain in the ass to channel surf and deal with illegal streaming services. I'm not sure why anyone would want to deal with that vs. just buying YTTV for $80.

I’m kind of in the same boat. My wife and I picked the maximum cable deal because we don’t want to deal with ala carteing our sports stuff. We dont need to do any streaming services for college football, NFL (beyond their one-offs) and we get the Orioles on it.

It isn’t worth the hassle keeping up with everything, and even if I did get the individual services needed for everything, it’s coming in at about the same cost anyway.

Thinking of @trojanfan12 tonight as I have 3 games up on a random Friday without battling the ads from Pakistan

lol

I'm also watching with no ads or any other issues.

And it isn't costing me a penny.
