Do any of you guys not have cable? I just moved a couple months ago and havent gotten cable. I am starting to get used to not having it. I guess I can find streams, but was wondering if there were any of you guys who didnt have cable and had some tips on how to watch Giants games in a legit fashion.

I have the Apple 4K streaming thing. It's cool but there's no browser to stream on a site. So I just use my MacBook. Go to 720pstream and then mirror the stream of the game to the Apple thing. Boom

works like perfect

I still have cable basically only for NFL Sunday Ticket, but I don't live in CA so I subscribe to MLB.tv. There is a single-team option that is a lot cheaper than the full package. I forget the total price, because I get a discount every year, but it should be under $100. But, if you're in the local area of the Giants you won't be able to watch the games live. You have to wait like 60-90 minutes after the game ends to be able to watch. I'm in the Phoenix area, and every time the Giants play the D'Backs I have to wait to watch. Even when they play them in SF.

You can download the app on any smart tv nowadays or Roku, Firestick etc. Or Apple tv like they already said

I use the single game package and there is a MIL discount for you. I used to do it on the MLB tv app, but it got removed from my smart tv and I switched to apple years ago. I prefer to do it on the Apple TV app because it works on the tv great, and also the phone/ipad. It won't work if you are in the local area for another team when they play. I can't watch the nats giants games on apple tv when they are in DC. I watch them on the local channel for those 3-4 games.

I havent tried it on the firestick, but if it works there, firestick is much cheaper than an apple tv. And works great also. So either would be fine.

Yeah that MIL discount is nice. I think I pay around $60 per season for the single team package with the discount. I had the app just on my smart TV and it was alright but sometimes it was pretty finicky. This will be my first season having it on the Roku. And yeah it works good on my phone too. I like how you can also listen to KNBR with the app if you want. I do that on my phone sometimes if I'm too busy to sit down and watch.

I can't get excited yet about baseball. It's like last season ruined me because I didn't really watch at all last season for the first time ever. Hopefully they will at least be competitive this year
