Questions for you Cuse Fan Cord Cutters Out There

I am contemplating a move to streaming everything and getting rid of my DirecTV service. Mostly because it is ridiculously expensive – my bill to AT&T for 18MB U-Verse Internet + DirecTV for two rooms is $170 per month, and $220 per month for four months to pay for NFL Sunday Ticket. Thankfully my employer pays for my phone service else this would likely be more like $275 a month.

I already have Amazon Prime, a borrowed Netflix account and HBOGO for streaming services. This is what I want to do: up my speed to the 45MB U-Verse service. My choices for streaming come down to either PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now or Sling as I still want to be able to watch some normal TV. I know I can watch local channels if I were to purchase and install an HD antennae as well. I’d likely purchase an Apple TV so I can "throw" whatever I am watching on my IPad to my TV easily. I’d still pay the ransom of $200 for The Ticket and just watch it on my IPad.

Here are my biggest concerns: If I were to go with any of these options, how will I watch Cuse games? As I understand it, I will not have access to Fox Sports South (living in Atlanta). Can I stream all games via the ACC website for a nominal monthly fee?

I don’t always watch games live – and giving up my DVR concerns me. Is it possible to watch games on the ACC network even slightly delayed? i.e. game tips at 7pm, can I watch it from the beginning if I started at 7:30? Can a TiVO device help me record local channels, or anything else I could stream?

Any guidance from you all is very much appreciated.
