Direct TV no more. Charter and TiVo now my best deal

You seem to have summarily dismissed Sling as a viable option in a thread weighing options and your dismissal was based on a rather peculiar condition.

I wouldn't call being a fan of a particular sport "peculiar."

I didn't suggest that the fans were peculiar. Promoting soccer/cricket/footie coverage as an make or break condition for choosing a programming provider is extraordinary.

Maybe the poster is a Brit? In which case his choice makes perfect sense.

The criteria might make sense for a Brit (or anyone else who has become a soccer fan for any reason) but that's not the question. The question is whether or not EPL (or similar) is a widely held criteria for most who subscribe to US pay TV.

It doesn't seem all that likely that someone living in Iowa with a handle of Bronxiniowa might be a Brit but again, that's a matter of percentages.

What widely held criteria did you use to make that judgement?

Dish Network is the provider.
Not Sling.

I don't care if Sling Tv is owned by Dish or not, it's not a real video provider for the fact they do not have a full channel lineup. You compare Dish, Directv, cable they all offer similar channels and packaging.

As far as I'm concerned it's just another toy. A Netflix subscription has far better value and is cheaper.

Their's is a full as many mom and pop operations and it is much more widely available.

I'm a Yank. But I can't do without my Tottenham Hospur.
