Root to start streaming

Kind of sounds like this won't take effect until the season is about over but I rejoice as a cable cutter because with so many games on Root it's been troublesome.

I am hoping DIRECTV Now airs Big Sky games on their Audience channel as some have speculated. I know their Now app has Audience and know that when I had regular DIRECTV it did that but have seen nothing concrete to say it will happen on their app.

Probably only through one of the pay streaming services like Sling TV. Tried them earlier this year and they were horrible, hard to use interface, and poor streaming quality for me. Have no problem with any other streaming service but Sling did not work well for me.

Sling works really good for me but a little delayed in regards to the actual live thing. It might be your internet connection and how many people use your network at one time.

Thought of that. Checked on it. Solid internet signal the hitches and pauses only occurred with sling. And yes it was never quite live slightly delayed

My internet can be spotty on my well, but Sling worked very well, and with above average quality out here. I hope its on Sling. That would be nice for me.

Yeah, probably just a network thing in my area. It was just not worth the money for me to keep it with the service I was getting. I get Root currently anyways though on Satellite.

Just checked the Audience online schedule and the Montana - Eastern game is there, baby! :D They've been showing the Root games on Audience for several years now.

Didn't read through all this but will it be free or will I have to have a Dish sports account to use it?
My apologies before someone blasts me for not reading all the posts before hand.

I'm not sure about all the different subscription options - I just subscribe to the basic DirecTVNow streaming package for $35/mo to get the Audience channel. It's a good overall package but not much sports - just the networks, ESPN and ESPN2. Big advantage over Sling is that DirecTVNow has CBS - Sling does not. Sling, however, has a DVR. DirecTVNow is supposed to be adding a DVR soon but not yet.

It's streaming so you need a fire stick, Roku, or computer to stream it from internet. What I'm going to do for a while is keep making accounts to take advantage of the 7 days free on the DIRECTV Now app so I can just watch the Root games on Audience . I like the more diverse sling sport channel options that I have.
