After football season this year I have to make a decision. I currently have Directv but really only so I can get the Sunday Ticket. With the max movies and sports channels available I pay around $200+ per month and more when Football and Baseball seasons are going. After this year is over, it looks like Apple TV is purchasing Sunday Ticket.

With Directv, I aso pay for Netflix and AppleTv, plus Amazon so I am probably over what I am in overkill

After this year, I will keep AppleTv and Netflix and probably Amazon so I need a new service that will take care of Hbo, Starz, Showtime, etc on demand movies and local TVs, major network news channels and of course the NBCs and Foxs of the world. Where can I streamline it to get all I can get for the best money. Is there a delay in watching sports on streaming services? I realize listening to a game streaming on Sirius radio is usually a few seconds behind what I am seeing on the TV. I figure I should start planning before i pay for a subscription that I dont need anymore.

Get HBO Max it’s so much better than regular HBO and if you really need live tv just get one of the streaming providers like Hulu live or YouTube tv

When I had DirecTV and Sunday Ticket, I would suspend my service after the regular season was over. I don't know if they still allow it but DirecTV used to let customers suspend service for 6 months then unsuspend it for 6 months at no charge. It was a lot easier than when I cancelled the service.

Yep, either that or the Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN. Best ones on the market, IMO, better than Netflix. Netflix releases a lot of new content, but it’s a lot of crap. You have to dig through to find the good stuff.

I used to get Direct TV until it got really expensive. It's not that I couldn't afford it but it's just TV. I now get about 30 channels with an antenna and subscribe to SlingTV, Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix. Peacock, IMDB, Tubi, Pluto, and many more offer good programming if you will watch a few commercials.
