If you want to watch as many Hokie sporting events as possible, you have...

...two choices, Hulu and YouTube TV (both are the same price now). Basically you need the ESPN channels (including the ACCN & ACCN-X), the CW and occasionally a game falls on another channel like the CBS Sports Network. Take a good look at The Streamable's comparison chart I've linked. It lists the different streaming services across the top (with prices), and the channels down the left side. There are several sections, so don't stop at the "regular" cable channel section...lol Premium channels are at the bottom if you're interested. If you want to try going cheap, see if Verizon or T-Mobile's 5G service is available in your area. Those start at $35. If not, just keep your broadband and drop everything else including phone if you're buying that now. If you want a "land line," I recommend buying a VOIP service like Ooma. You have to buy the box ($~80), but you only pay taxes for their basic service (~$6/month). Note: you will need a device on each TV, such as a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick or Cube, etc. I kept my Cox broadband, dropped their cable, added YTTV, and I'm currently saving over $100/month. Good luck!

As Elberto notes here...youtube TV isn't cheap anymore.
great2bahokie 01/23/25 03:36 PM ET
There are multiple options. I'm not sure I'd call them affordable. Fubo

Sounds like things are evolving fast, so maybe just wait a while?**
