I cut my cable and I'm crawling back entirely for the NBA season. NBA League Pass has non-existent DVR controls and I'm so ADHD, I record games, start them at halftime, and then fast forward through dead balls and free throws. Plus the playoffs didn't have any legal way to watch them online. Everything other than the NBA has been completely easy to buy through Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Have you tried Apple tv or Roku? I think you can get all the benefits of the DVR without having one, or cable.You still have to pay for the season pass, but it's way cheaper than cable over the course of a season.

They do blackout in market games though, so that's why I never signed up myself.

Any Verizon Fios tips or avenues to cheap or free upgrades?

Is that a question? Someone please explain this to me.

Is it too expensive? I thought FiOS was supposedly reasonable. I'd do anything to be in a neighborhood where FiOS's internet is an option. Their upload speeds are crazy.

Fios is subject to state and local fees that DirectTV and cable are exempt from for reasons I'm entirely not sure of, so you probably want to add $20-$40 to whatever price FIOS quotes you depending on what state you live in.
