February 18, 2025Feb 18 comment_1787353 Depending on what the Indians do with broadcasting their games this year, we may be cutting the cord to cable. We currently do not have any streaming services and don’t know a lot about them. Anything we would get would have to include ESPN and the news outlets. I usually leave the TV tech stuff to hubby dearest, but we need some guidance here as far as service and pricing. And before you ask, we do not have Amazon Prine. Thanks! Report

February 19, 2025Feb 19 comment_1787427 Streaming is an expensive proposition anymore. But, for the Guardians, this seems like a reasonable place to start: https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe/cleguardians Report

But if he does that, then we're definitely cutting the cord, which means we may also be looking for an internet provider since cable and internet are bundled right now. We don't have T-Mobile for our phone so getting them free on that isn't an option. I just looked at it and it looks like it was a limited time offer and it's over. But, my son has T-Mobile so he can look at it. Report
February 20, 2025Feb 20 comment_1787501 You can probably "unbundle" your internet and cable without a problem. I haven't had cable in at least ten years and I don't miss it at all. Had Prime for a while, which I though was a good deal because I buy shitloads of books--so the movies, etc... were an added benefit. Dropped Prime some time ago because they don't really honor the quick delivery times as they used to. I have Roku boxes on all my TVs and run a Plex server. Both of them offer their own free (ad-supported) streaming services. I don't use them, so I can't vouch for the quality--I hate ads with a passion. And there is Tubi and other independent services, too. So, you could probably cobble something together like mine and not have much of a drop-off in channel availability. And probably save enough money to pay for the baseball! Good luck. Report

My husband's going to be the one who does all the research on this, and he'll probably reach out to my son for input also. Report

We don't have T-Mobile, but my son does so maybe he can get it and finagle a way for us to get it. Report
