Not around here. There are millions and millions of people across the country who have no other alternatives. I hope everybody remembers that when they start talking that merger crap again.

When the net offers live (real time as opposed to archived) channels, including locals and sports, THEN it will be a true alternative. I love my ROKU, but it's really only great for movies or reruns.
they have ESPN live, MLBtv, NHL center ice and the NBA basketball package all available on ROKU not to mention a couple aps that show live streaming local channels
The trouble is that ESPN Live is not available over a ROKU if you sub to Dish or Direct, and you have to sub a level of programming that includes ESPN on the several other services that allow to it ....
There is that! My daughter who lives in Corvallis, OR is coming to visit for Christmas has Comcast and that will definitely come up. I am sharing something with her so turnabout is fair play...
College basketball has many games on ESPN. They could wait until April and then disappear.
Thumbs down
It's pretty awesome seeing the Hawks and Cyclones kicking some butt this year though. Hopefully UNI has a great year as well.
My Vols are currently playing on ESPNU, so I "borrowed" my mothers password and I'm using the Watch ESPN app on my Apple TV. I swear the picture quality looks better than ESPNHD on Dish. The colors just seem more vibrant than on Dish for some reason.
Check out a soccer game on Univision some time and see how you like their PQ on Dish. I don't know if it is Dish or ESPN that is the problem.
I would assume so,but ya never know.I'm not even sure they are going to get a new deal done,the way things are going.Supposedly the sticking point is digital rights,such as watch espn.However,if you pay attention to the on going appeals and lawsuits,it seems like it's more about autohop.
