Best as I can tell, here in Round Rock I only have three options.

 

MONTHLY

Vidgo: $55
Sling Orange + Sports = $55
Spectrum cable: $49 + $18 broadcast "surcharge" = $67

 

I went with Spectrum since they had that $49+49 deal for Internet and TV and I already had Internet with them.

But I got pissed when I found out they charge a $18 "surcharge" for local broadcast channels that I neither need or want.   And they refused to remove the surcharge, so I cancelled the TV service.  I see no reason to spend $67/month just to watch something like two games on Longhorn Network and one or two games on ESPN/ESPN2.

I may enable/disable Sling as needed for watching the Longhorn channel.

 

I get all my local channels in HD over antenna for free.

Sling is the only thing over ever used for LHN, other than directv when I had it

EDIT 9/15/23: 

I'm editing this two year old post because no one should expect an old ass streaming link to work beyond a couple of days. Game day threads will usually have a streaming link posted inside of the first 2 or 3 pages. streameast.io is also a good place to start your search for a game stream. Good bye and good luck. 

 

DO NOT USE THIS OLD FUCKING LINK

That would be tree fiddy: http://yrsprts.stream/live?v=lhn

Last year we signed up for Sling through a promotion.  Basically paid for the first month then cancelled before the next auto charge went through.

Was $20/$30 or something

Planning on hitting up the Texas Exes watch party here in Houston this Saturday.

 

Looks like Dallas has a couple spots if you want to go that route.

This is the best streaming site IMO. You have to create a username but I’ve never had any issues for any sport here. 
 

if you have a smart tv just aircast to it then you can minimize the screen on your phone and go about your business on surly.

Streaming sites can be hit or miss, mostly miss for me. I tried one last year for LHN and the stream was fine for 2 days before the game, then all of a sudden game time was close and there were "technical issues"

Duh. I posted that link 2 years ago. Wtf

Did I fall into a Dark Web portal back to 1998?

I wish but we’d be talking about how to find a sports bar showing a backhaul feed from the stadium Jumbotron (which would mean they’d have a huge satellite dish). Remember scouring hornfans to find a place showing the Colorado game from Boulder in Htown. Went to that sports bar on Gessner with the huge TVs set up like a Vegas sports book. Forgot it’s name.

AITA? i don't see LHN on stream.directv channel line up?  I am a youtube.tv guy with ESPN+ and not access to LHN with current set up.  Maybe I am not understanding what you DTV folks are saying about the way to get it?

YoutubeTV doesn’t have LHN.

I think it depends in the area you are in for DTV. For some reason DTVNow does not carry LHN in DFW.

I understand the YTTV issue.  I appreciate that.  

 

What I can''t figure out - these guys are saying that DTV has a stream where this is available.  When I look at the DTV stream site and channel line up, I don't see LHN as a channel in the lineup - regardless of the package.  Am I blind, dumb, both?

I think it depends on your zip code/carriage area.

I have the Premier package and am out of state and still get LHN
