Sounds promising...

Hopefully they come out w/ at least one package aimed towards the "non-espn" crowd.

Probably the same crap slingtv is slinging

SlingTV is supposed to cost $20.00 per month. But if you add on all of the add-ons,the price goes up to $50.00 per month. Pretty soon,if they keep adding stuff & price it accordingly(depending on what you want),the total price will end up being like cable & satellite TV,& "cord cutting" will be turned on its head. All of these answers to cord cutting,Apple TV,SlingTV,& what ever everybody else is coming out with,WILL ADD UP,& you'll eventually lose the savings that cutting the cord was supposed to give you.

exactly!

Wasn't the premise that one did not want to pay for everything
Just take what you need. If you expected to pay less for everything, you missed the point of all of this.
