I think there's a decent chance the Mariners move their broadcasts to MLB as soon as next year, possibly shutting down Root Sports altogether. With Comcast essentially pushing fans off of cable, most are probably signing up at Fubo. But Fubo is likely to shut down as their business model seems to be cratering.

Fubo isn't even in real HD.
Give me a Root option through Amazon, YouTube, Apple or some other service that actually cares about quality.

The best current option, if you care at all about picture quality, is DirecTV. Really, the only knock I had against DirecTV was they don't have Pac12 network. And.. That's no longer an issue... Pricey, I guess too.

I pay $120/month for internet and cable including ROOT....$50 for internet and $70. Honestly, it is easy and I don't have to think about it. Yes, it is $1440 a year, but I get tons of enjoyment from watching my sports and I get tons of ideas from college basketball to bring to my coaching.

Where are you getting cable including Root for $70. We don't have Comcast where I am at but the Astound Broadband package that includes Root is $120 per month.
