Universal HD is also available on some cable providers. I get it from Comcast in Houston. Ironically, I don't get Universal Sports, so I had to pay for it on SlingTV to watch a lot of cycling last year. So I should actually save some money since this year I should be able to watch more cycling on UHD and NBCSN.
I just wish the NBC Sports Live app had an option to 'cast' to a TV (or a Roku channel). Watching TV on a tablet sucks IMHO.
Apple TV will do that for you.
