How to watch sports live without cable (or even a TV)
Sports and reality shows are two genres of television that have to be watched live. You don’t want to be that person who missed your team’s game-winning goal or any intense moments throughout the match. Streaming a game after it’s already happened just isn’t the same.
In the past, you had to have a cable provider to watch all of the big games, but we live in the age of streaming and you’re able to cut the cord and still catch all of the best content. You can stream movies and cartoons without cable, so why should live sports be any different?
Which streaming service is best to watch live sports?
Streaming services give you all the sports coverage you want, but on your terms. However, there are so many to choose from that it can be a little difficult deciding which one is the best fit for you. When making your selection, here are some of the most important things to keep in mind:
Which sports are most important to you? If you’re a die-hard football fan and don’t really pay attention to any other athletics, NFL+ might be the service you need. Or maybe you’re just looking to catch college basketball games — you’ll be better off with Paramount+ and its extensive coverage of men’s NCAA basketball.
Are you looking for a cable replacement? Some streaming sites are a cable replacement first and sports service second. Hulu Live, for example, offers access to a bunch of live channels, on-demand movies and shows, original content, and sports, including events like the Super Bowl and World Cup. These kinds of options are great if your whole family is going to be using it or you just want a comprehensive TV plan for yourself. Otherwise, they can be pretty expensive.
Is your team in-network? By far, the most annoying thing about streaming live sports is the prioritizing of in-network games. If you’re a fan of a local team, you shouldn’t have much to worry about. But if you’re a fan of an out-of-market team, your life will be significantly harder. You’ll probably have to splurge on DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket (part of the Choice package) if you want access to all games, regardless of the network.
What features are non-negotiable? Keep in mind that not every service offers the same features. You might have to give up watching the Super Bowl in exchange for exclusive content or forego DVR storage for a lower price tag. The best part about going this route rather than cable (aside from being cheaper) is that you’re the one in charge. Feel free to be as picky as you want when it comes to non-negotiable features. And since there’s no contract involved, you can cancel your subscription whenever you want.
How to watch live sports without cable
Before you completely cut the cord, you may want to consider the options available to you. While there are at least a baker’s dozen streaming platforms to watch live and recorded sports (including esports), each has their perks and downfalls. There’s no point in canceling your cable plan if you can’t watch your favorite teams live. Check out our top picks to help you decide which one will deliver the sports fix you’re searching for.
Silicon Photonics: 1.84 petabits per second sent through a single photonic chip/fiber optic cable combo
Scientists at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have scored a new record in silicon photonics research, achieving a never-before-seen data transfer of 1.84 petabits per second. Even better, the researchers used a single “computer chip” as light source and a single fiber-optic cable as a transmission channel.

New Apple TV No Longer Includes Charging Cable for Siri Remote in Box
The new version of the Siri Remote announced today is equipped with a USB-C port for charging instead of Lightning, but there is no USB-C cable included in the box with the new Apple TV 4K. Apple also no longer includes a charging cable with the Siri Remote when purchased separately for $59 through its online store.
Apple today began selling a one-meter USB-C cable with a woven design for $19.
Apple stopped including a charger with the iPhone 12 and newer and touted the environmental benefits of the decision. However, iPhones still ship with a Lightning to USB-C cable so that the device can at least be charged with a Mac or other device, whereas the Siri Remote now ships without any included charging accessory.
The new Apple TV 4K is available to order beginning today and launches Friday, November 4 in the U.S. and more than 30 other countries. Key new features include the A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support, a lower $129 starting price, up to 128GB of storage, a thinner and lighter design without a fan, and the updated Siri Remote.
Update: Apple is still including the cable in Brazil, a country that fined the company for no longer including a charger with iPhones.
