3. As a future cord cutter

Mon Jul 2, 2018, 03:01 PM

Jul 2018

I am very interested in this discussion.

The biggest question I have are related to sports. There are plenty of ways to find network shows but I am concerned with getting live sports.

My second question is about DVR. Is there a way to capture those "broadcasts". I know the idea of DVR might be sort of obsolete with streaming but not for sports. I sometimes have to watch some things on ESPN3 and get stuck watching live. I prefer to watch them later on my own schedule. Mostly because I am ADD and can fast forward through all the BS.

I know...first world problems.
