Cable, Dish, Direct?

I will be paying strictly for Internet, then have Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon prime and then using a slingbox attached to a receiver at my in laws house. If you can get it, look into Verizon fios they are starting to do a la carte pricing. I have Ooma for home phone.

I wanted to do this, but having been a previous Dish customer when I lived at home I liked the service and option, so now we have that, mostly for HBO (Game of Thrones), and Avalanche (since it's the only sport I really watch). Getting a game streaming on the internet onto my TV is a PITA.

I currently have Dish for TV (with the basic 150 package), and Comcast for internet. I think my monthly bill is around $110, which isn't bad considering we've got the upgraded internet and I threaten to leave when they try to bump my rates up (Comcast, not Dish).

HBO Now on Apple TV has a subscription based choice with their app. I use that for game of thrones. Also - I get the NHL TV package with their app, but I'm a Kings fan, so I get more of the games because they don't play them on local TV.

I considered getting the NHL Package online via NHL Gamecenter (they have the app for Xbox Live), but I don't watch every team, I usually only watch the Avs (hence getting the local package with Dish) and occasionally Montreal and St. Louis. Not sure if HBO Now will work for what we have set up (if they have it on Xbox I'd consider it).

Yea I only watched the Kings games. But because the Avs are usually on a regular channel - you wouldn't be able to watch via the game center app.
