On Sling, you have to have Orange+Blue + Sports Extra, $60 + $15 to get ACCN (and, I think, ACCNx -- Sling doesn't say it on their website but I do get it).  Ouch.

And, I've found that the Sling app on my Samsung TV is rotten.   It freezes (black screen) when watching sports on ACCNx and I have to exit the app, restart it, find the game again, and continue (having lost a couple of minutes of live broadcast).  I never have had it freeze on any other app or program source on Sling on Samsung.  I do not have that problem when I watch Sling on my computer.

I have been unable to find a way to tell Sling about this problem.

We are seeing more stovepipe sports networks.  Want to see the Stanford-ND men's soccer match (and traditionally some of the women's  hoops each year), you'll need to pay Flohoops and their set of networks.  Want to see the Stanford-UCLA water polo match (and more WP), you'll have to pay Overnight sports.

With PAC-12 network and Sling, I would have been able to record tonight's women's hoops live. Then I could come home from the gamer and rewatch the parts I wanted.  Now, with ACCNx (at least on Sling), I can't record the game, I have to depend on them putting it up later, and streaming it to me, and inserting commercials randomly and frequently, but only so long as they offer the game.  
With P12 network and recording, I could go backward during the game -- not so with ACCN or ACCNxd or the whole ESPN offerings.

And, you spend 30 seconds to back up 10 seconds.    Of course, back when I had Comcast & TiVo, I could zip around the game (even live) and play it in slow motion.  ("Wait, was that a foul?", zip back 30 seconds, watch it in slow motion, and then jump to live before the commercial is over.)

That's E$PN's idea of "progre$$".
