Watch Altitude Sports and Entertainment on AT&T TV NOW
AT&T TV NOW is the only streaming service that carries Altitude. Few are currently aware of this, though, because news that AT&T’s streamer would add Altitude to its channel lineup just came out a few days ago. Altitude may indeed give AT&T TV NOW an edge over the competition in the southwest part of the country, since no other streamer offers this RSN.
AT&T TV NOW Pricing and Packages
You won’t find Altitude on AT&T TV NOW’s website. That’s probably due to the fact that the ink is still wet on the deal. According to the Altitude Sports website, the channel will be added to AT&T TV NOW’s Max plan soon. That plan is pricey compared to budget plans from competing streamers, but the fact that it comes with the new HBO Max on-demand service may encourage some to check it out.

AT&T TV NOW On-Demand Library

Watch the Colorado Avalanche on NHL.TV
If your main reason for wanting Altitude Sports is the fact that it’s official TV home of the Colorado Avalanche, you may want to consider subscribing to NHL.TV. Subscribing will give you the opportunity to watch nearly every single Colorado Avalanche game on-demand shortly after the live game ends.
Avoiding blackouts
NHL.TV’s blackout policy is a clear disadvantage, but there’s a workaround for that: VPN software. VPNs let you disguise yourself online so that you seem to be located in another part of the country when you go online. That might sound a bit sneaky, but it’s actually totally legal. One of the most user-friendly VPNs on the market is ExpressVPN. If you want to try it out and see if it works for you, there’s a seven-day free trial available. More information about it is available at the link below.

Pricing
When it comes to subscription prices, NHL.TV is somewhat expensive compared to streaming services from other professional sports organizations. Still, the month-by-month deal costs roughly 1/3 the price of what AT&T TV NOW is charging for their Max plan. You can get an even better deal if you pay for a year of service in advance. If you want to save some money over the long term, that could be your best option.
Apps
NHL.TV has made apps for most devices:
- Living room devices: Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV and Roku.
- Smart TVs and Blu-ray players: Televisions based on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, or Roku
- Mobile devices and tablets: Android and iOS.
- Game consoles: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
- Desktop browsers: Any modern browser.
Watch the Colorado Rockies with MLB.TVÂ
MLB.TV is one of the best professional sports streaming services out there. Its subscription fees are very reasonable relative to what AT&T TV NOW and other full-featured streamers charge. Subscribing gives you access to a huge amount of baseball action, including on-demand recordings of nearly every Colorado Rockies game. In addition, MLB.TV has all kinds of baseball-specific features you won’t find anywhere else.
Avoiding blackouts
Blackouts are a major disadvantage of professional sports streaming services. You won’t be able to watch live games through ordinary means if you live close to Coors Field. The MLB obviously wants local fans to watch live games at the stadium if possible. The inconvenience can be a hassle for fans that can’t afford tickets or don’t have time to make trips out to the stadium all the time. Fortunately, there’s a solution for this: VPNs. VPNs give you the ability to make it look like you’re somewhere else when you go online. If you’ve never used a VPN before, we recommend ExpressVPN, since it’s reliable and super easy to use. There’s also a 30-day guarantee that will let you get your money back if it doesn’t work for you.

Fees
When it comes to subscription fees, MLB.TV is about average compared to streaming services from other professional sports organisations. Some cost more, others cost less. It isn’t the MLB’s generosity that keeps its prices reasonable, though. A class action lawsuit against the MLB has forced it to lower the price of MLB.TV subscriptions.
Apps
MLB has its bases covered when it comes to apps. There are MLB TV apps for FireTV, Xbox, Roku and many other devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android, and more. Check the official site for the full list.
Watch the Denver Nuggets with NBA League PassÂ
NBA League Pass is a great way to tune into Denver Nuggets games without cable. You can either purchase access to all the Denver Nuggets games or all the NBA regular season games. The NBA even provides a few other subscription options that other professional sports streamers don’t offer. You can buy access to a single game, for example, or you can order only the NBA TV cable channel and nothing else.
Avoiding blackouts
If you live anywhere near Pepsi Center, the NBA will try to block you from viewing live feeds of Denver Nuggets games through NBA League Pass. You can use a VPN to get around this limitation by making it seem like you’re logged into the internet through another part of the country. We recommend ExpressVPNÂ because it has a reputation for reliability and its subscription fees are reasonable.

Fees
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on streaming the Nuggets, the One Team Pass might be your best option. That will give you the option to stay current with all the Nuggets’ regular season games. However, you may want to just go ahead and get the All Teams pass because it’s pretty inexpensive.
Apps
NBA League Pass apps are available on many different devices, including Android tablets, Android phones, Android TVs, Apple TVs, Chromecast devices, iPhones, iPads, PlayStation consoles, Roku streaming devices and more. Check the NBA League Pass support site for more information.
Watch the Colorado Rapids on ESPN+
The MLS (Major League Soccer) league used to have its own streaming service, but it sold all of its broadcast rights to ESPN. As a result, ESPN+ is probably your best bet for watching the Colorado Rapids if you don’t have any way to watch Altitude Sports. It’s incredibly cheap compared to all the other professional sports streaming services and it has all kinds of nifty features that add even more value.Â
ESPN+ Pricing and Packages
ESPN+ is the cheapest sports streaming service on the market by far. Your subscription will give you access to all kinds of sports content, including MLS games, ESPN documentaries and more.

Learn more about ESPN+ supported devices here.
ESPN+ Simultaneous Streams
Three devices is the account sharing limit. That’s more than enough flexibility to share your account with friends and family members.
Learn more the account sharing features of ESPN+ here.
ESPN+ DVR
The fact that there is no way to record content is one of ESPN+’s few downsides. However, some previously-aired sports content is available on-demand for a few days after it airs. Learn more about ESPN’s recording features here.
ESPN+ On-Demand Library
ESPN+’s large on-demand library is one of its major perks. The vault contains all kinds of ESPN documentaries as well as replays of MLS games. Some ESPN+ originals are available as well. The Boardroom with KD features the Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant and Peyton’s Places is hosted by former Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. Other originals include Ariel & The Bad Guy which is hosted by MMA expert Ariel Helwani and NBA Rooks with Zion Williamson of New Orleans Pelicans. Learn more about ESPN+’s on-demand library here.
Watch the Colorado Mammoth on Fanseat
Fanseat is a unique niche streaming service that caters to fans of sports like ultimate frisbee and lacrosse. It’s the best way to watch Colorado Mammoth games if you don’t have access to Altitude Sports.
Fees
The monthly fee would be high if all you got was access to NLL (National Lacrosse League) streams, but the fact Fanseat has all kinds of other sports streams adds some extra value. Your opinion on the subscription price will probably depend on your interest in international sports. If you don’t care at all about basketball leagues from Latvia or Denmark or hockey teams from France, you may see the entry fee as being somewhat pricey.
Apps
Fanseat’s current lack of apps is one of its primary downsides. Streams are accessible through web browsers, iOS, Android, Chromecast… and that’s about it. There’s no way to access Fanseat through popular streaming devices like Roku or Amazon Fire TV.
