    so what does everyone do about sports? Is there anyway to get ESPN when you cut the cord?

    There are a few sites that stream events illegally. My solution thus far has been to use a friend's Cox login and use WatchESPN. Sports and live news networks are the biggest catch with cord-cutting.

    I would invest in one. I did read a lot of reviews on the Chromecast and looks like the quality isn't what I am looking for so I will hold off cutting the cable until I am satisfied enough with the reviews.

    I'd love the Chromecast with a wired connection. Since it is Google, app development will be fast and efficient.

    We got a chromecast for my daughter. Quality seems very good. Operation is amazingly simple.

    Where did you get it? Everywhere I've tried either don't have them yet or are out of stock.

    My wife is the regional manager for AT&T Big Box stores (cellular) for the gulf coast region. Best Buy is one of her stores. I imagine they held one for her.
