Over the top TV service (over the top of your internet?).
Streaming for $20/month, includes:
Disney
ESPN
ESPN 2
AMC
Several others - Details here
You can buy a few other bundles (more sports, more kids, and one other) for $5/each.
I signed up today with this deal. $60 for 3 months + a Free Fire TV Stick
I already have Fire TV, but this way I can have a device that will travel with me, and have those channels.
So far it's pretty much what is says. Service vary by channel though. Some will let you pause, move forward/back, others won't. Some have TV-on-demand, some don't.
Canceling cable shortly.

We would miss AMC for Walking Dead, she would miss Fox News.
Honestly, the only channel I really want this for is ESPN. I don't watch anything else live.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Restrictions, etc
More Pause/Rewind would be nice.
It's worked well for us, I used it a lot during the NCAA tourney, and the kids use it for the kid channels.

And... canceled. Then, back to cable.
It wasn't sling's fault. But it's summer, so hell if I care about having ESPN, and paying $30/month ($25 / month + taxes) so I can have Disney Jr for the kids isn't going to work.
Then, since we only have Internet, we can get phone + TV + DVR for $110/month (taxes + fees included). Which, net of internet + phone, means $40/month for TV, which means the DVR and all the extra channels are $10/month, net of Sling.

Signed up again, got 2 months for 1 month. Will cancel once that ends.
In the meantime, YouTube.TV has been announced.

I assume that 6 accounts means 6 streams at once? But, the cloud-DVR is attractive. I'll try it out whenever it comes out.Stream ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC & more.
Never run out of DVR storage space.
6 accounts, 1 price.
$35/month. Cancel anytime.

We've been using Sling for a few months now. Love it. Have the $40 best-they-got package. It's basically got every channel we'd ever want. ESPN to SYFY to HGTV to FX to FS1+2 and on...
An episode of The Expanse wasn't making it on to their in-demand system, so I tweeted at them. They responded pretty fast and got it up, solid customer service.
I guess my one complaint is that some of the channels are completely on-demand once they've aired. Like HGTV and Viceland. Then a few, like Comedy Central, are live only. So if I miss the Daily Show's first slot I have to wait for the second airing.
They sent us a free Roku for signing up. But it runs on the Apple TV so we don't use it. Might have thrown it away.

I use the free Fire TV Stick as a travel stick, so it goes with me to hotels and other places so I can stream my own stuff via Plex. That being said, I was foiled last week in the Bahamas, cuz the TVs were so old they didn't have HDMI ports.
