It’s no secret that cable bills are as costly as ever. Even
with many other options available these days because of online streaming, many
still bite the bullet and buy cable or dish packages because of the desire to
watch live sports.
Sports packages are one of the driving forces behind keeping
cable companies afloat during this shift toward the digital age, and they can
also get quite expensive depending on your provider and the channels included.
For example, the Xfinity (Comcast) Digital Starter Package
starts at $49.99 and only includes premium sports channels ESPN, ESPN2 and NBC
Sports. Customers then have to pay $10 more per month if they want to upgrade
to more live sports coverage such as NFL Network, NHL Network, MLB Extra
Innings, and NFL Red Zone.
But the spending doesn’t stop there for sports fans that use
Xfinity as their cable provider. Another $10 per month, now bringing your bill
up to at least $69.99, gets viewers the Sports Entertainment Package, which
includes virtually any other sports channel.
Verizon Fios approaches their sports packages a bit
differently. Customers start at a base rate of $54.99 if they just want typical
cable channels, including ESPN and ESPN2. It is then $14 per month extra to
subscribe to their Sports Pass, which gives customers channels such as NFL Red
Zone, NFL Network, FOX College Sports, and more. From there, Verizon Fios
charges per league if you’d like to gain additional sports channels. Verizon’s MLB
Pennant Race Package cost an additional $39 for the season, NBA League Pass
cost $119.99 for the season, NHL Center ICE cost $160 for the season, and MLS
Direct Kick cost $59 per month.
Direct TV subscribers are perhaps taking the hardest
financial hit to view live sports. On top of the base bundle rate of $69.95,
Direct TV charges its customers an additional $50 for its Sports Pack. This
package does include most regional sports networks, but it does not have any of
the league networks such as NHL Network, MLB Extra Innings, or NFL Network.
But now there’s an HDTV Digital Indoor Antenna called the Clear TV Key that offers an excellent alternative to
these expensive cable or dish sports packages.
Clear TV Key plugs into any TV and has no ugly antenna or
messy wires. And the Clear TV Key can be yours for just $19.99 plus $7.99 for
