To this day, sports is the primary reason I have kept cable that has a local hard drive based DVR.

I don't like to watch sports linearly. I like to fast forward through the huddles, timeouts, reviews, commercials, halftime etc. Not to mention sometimes rewatching a play or two. I can watch a 3.5 hour game in an hour.

Streaming is Ok for TV and Movies where it is set and forget but the FF and rewind are just not responsive enough to watch sports without aggravation.
