Okay can one of you computer savvy people help me out. I'm not the best I admit. I've run into a tight spot financially and I'm going to have to get rid of my cable TV but is there anyway I could still watch The Duke games. I have a Roku and Wi-Fi as well as a smartphone. Any help would be much appreciated. I don't have to watch the games live. I usually DVR them and watch them on my own time. This team is way too good to miss out on though
Help?

If you have a Roku....all you need is someone with cable (a relative?) to provide you with their email/password that is tied to their cable provider. Plug that in on all the sports apps: WatchESPN, Fox Sports Go, etc. and you can watch all sports live and the replays. FREE OF CHARGE.
If you don't know anyone to provide you that. There are certain websites that stream live sports for free, but it can get frustrating. Get used to blurry content and occasionally not being able to watch games at all.

Get Sling TV. It’s cheaper than cable. Thought about doing that myself but have to have the DVR. Not trying to get nosy but wht are you paying now and what could you pay???
I have YouTube TV and it comes with a free cloud based DVR all for $39.99 a month no taxes or fees. I get all my sports channels and got rid of my Direct TV. For $5 more a month, I get ESPN plus. That covers all the Duke games and all local channels. The switch saved me around $80 to $100 a month. I couldn’t be happier.
There'should so much more out there than cable and dish. I have an aerial antenna that cost me 100 bucks. I also have roku that was given to me. Through sling I get about 40 channels including ESPN, espn2, espnu , tbs, tnt, the history channel and much more. I pay for netflix but get several other movie channels free. With my antenna I get about 60 channels including abc, cbs, NBC and fox. I get a lot of other channels which includes old t.v. shows. I've had this about 4years. My last cable fee and went up to about 140 a month. Right now including Internet I'm at about 87 bucks a month. OFC
Youtube TV or Playstation Vue, both are great alternatives around $40 a month. I haven't used Youtube TV but a friend loves it. I can't say enough good things about PS Vue though, I've had it for about 8 months and I dont see me ever going back to cable or satellite. It also has DVR and for $10 a month during football season I added the sports pack which includes several fox sports channels plus NFL redzone. Best part is with a click of a button I can change my channel options any time.
Can you watch any of the Duke games on ESPN+? I did sign up for that to watch the "Earn Everything? but if you could watch all the Duke games on ESPN+, it's only $5 a month.
Are you local to NC? The reason I ask is I’m locked into a contract with AT&T for $90 includes TV and Internet.
Check your listings as far as metropolitan areas are concerned. For me in the Northeast PS Vue is best because as part of the Boston market I get ABC, NBC and CBS in my package. I wouldn't get that with Sling or Youtube TV. All 3 plus Hulu TV are good inexpensive streaming options, it's just a matter of what you watch.... I like NFL games so having CBS, NBC and ABC was why I went with PS Vue. All of them are no annual contracts.
There's so many good options now that having cable or satellite is borderline foolish. You can sign up for Watch ESPN with any streaming service too so you can watch Duke games there.
I know some of you hate ESPN, but ESPN+ is worth the $4 a month especially during college basketball season.
