I love NFL and college sports and there is no way at present to get good HD streams of what I want to watch without shelling out for DirecTV. At least not if you want to see it live. I can't stand the idea of watching game replays.
If they were a terrible service I would probably figure something else out but DirecTV has always been great. Easy to setup and manage. Hell I can DVR things in different rooms from my Droid phone now! I can get NFL streams on any computer as a Sunday Ticket subscriber, get the the Redzone channel and the picture quality is perfect.
I like to have people over for gamedays so it's worth it to me.
Not to mention I need my college games.
Sadly, if you're a sports nut the best option is still to stick with a cable service.
Movies and TV shows are easy to get via the web
