Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

My directv contract expires in August and I'm seriously contemplating getting the $25/month SlingTV package (ESPN is included) and using broadcast TV and hulu/Netflix etc as my main method of media consumption. I've got a Playstation in the living room and Roku in the bedroom. I haven't been keeping up with this thread but am gonna peruse it to see others' reviews and experiences.

Anyone have any experience with the setup I'm thinking about trying? How fast of an Internet connection do y'all think I'd need to have to make this work successfully?

I'm just going to suspend my directv (just in case I find the switch to not be what I'm looking for) while I try it out but wanna go into it as prepared as possible since I'm gonna be tinkering with **** right when the season is kicking off.

My main concern is that I don't wanna have to do a whole bunch of **** just to watch some tv. I prefer total lethargy when going into a television coma, y'know?
