Have we figured this out yet? The only thing keeping me from cutting the chord is ESPN, and that is only because of Saints games on Monday Night Football.
I cut the cord and only get ESPN 3 . I do know for Tennis and Brittish Open you had multiple channels to choose from some with different camera angles and no announcers which was not that bad. I had heard they do the same deal College football too. I hope they do the same for MNF. ESPN3 also offers the Canadian Football games which have been pretty cool to watch.
Apple TV offers Showtime now for $10.99 per month and your first month is free(Much like WWE TV). That is cheaper than what they offer it on cable and cheaper than HBO.
