While searching the large number of providers in sources, I was wondering if anybody has gotten a subscription with a cable provider that is NOT in your geograpghic location, for pricing purposes. Example if I am in Comcast area but Cox is cheaper(not a real scenario just for explanation purposes). I have searched internet with no real good results on this. Legal restrictions may apply I think. Just trying to see all possibilies for cost savings.
Why not look at a service like YouTube tv or Hulu live?
If they ever check your location by IP address you're hosed. I believe Comcast tries to restrict TVE viewing to your home only, and for all I know they already check for service area too. I think some people have gotten lucky in many cases, but you can't rely on that.

Those are viable avenues I am exploring as well. Trying to investigate all options.
You can't just sign up for CATV without providing a physical service address.
They often have to physically come out and hook up cables, or do things in the service box.
They also check if the address in their service network, if not, then they turn you away, if so, then they check if that address already has or has had service there.
You can't legally have service under your name and someone else's address that is not your own home.
You might as well just use a sub account from a close friend/family member who has that companies service at their home, but restrictions may apply.
