Streaming Services: Your New Best Friends (Unless They Blackout Your Game... But We Don't Talk About That)
Forget the satellite dish, ditch the coaxial cable, because the future of sports viewing is streaming, baby! Here are your main options to catch all the MSN action:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
Livestream the Game (with a Side of Extra Channels):
- FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and DIRECTV STREAM: These heavy hitters all offer MSN in their channel lineups, so you can watch Wizards drain threes and Ovi snipe power plays alongside a bunch of other sports channels. Bonus: Most have free trials, so you can snag a front-row seat (virtually) without commitment.
Going Solo with MSN (for the truly dedicated fan):
- Monumental Sports Network app: This is a great option for the hardcore fan who only craves Wizards, Capitals, and Mystics content. It's a bit cheaper than the all-encompassing streaming services, but be warned, there might be some blackout restrictions.
Remember: Check the channel listings for your specific zip code before you sign up, because sometimes blackout restrictions can be a real buzzkill.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
