P2P piracy was honestly the people's age of media. We need to go back. Let's start stealing again, folks.

10 years ago, it was a good idea to cut out cable and either steal or minimally pay for what was wanted to stream.

Nowadays, you're probably better off with just a basic cable subscription that allows for recording everything and watching on demand.

It's gotten nuts.

OK y'all. I'm moving to a new place in STL in a few weeks. I've had Charter cable service for ever now. I'm shopping around but it's confusing AF. Bally Sports+ has Blues but not Cardinals? Is there a streaming service that has both that's not going to require me to pay with my left testicle? What is everyone doing now for their STL sports content?

Edit: I might do Bally Sports+ streaming for hockey season @ $20/month and then bump up to FuboTV with Bally Sports channel later on. Anyone use Fubo and like it?

I've used Fubo before...it is ok but not exactly that much cheaper than a low tier cable package. It's similar to youtube, sling, hulutv etc.

Most of the time I just use a free trial when I really want to see something on those channels that I can't get naturally. Not being in the St Louis market I just use MLBTV but the blackouts for Reds, Pirates and now Guardians series every year are starting to wane on me.

I used fubo for a couple months this year. It was better and more reliable than spoofing my ip to get around mlbtv blackouts. I was excited about watching Cardinals games on my phone cause I only had that setup on my laptop but unless I was on wifi it would put me somewhere random like Chicago and I'd be getting the Cubs game instead. Maybe there's a solution, I tried a couple different things and couldn't figure it out but didn't spend much time on it.
