So EpicSki does provide some value...
I just learned that Dishworld has a sports package that delivers USN over the Internet for just $10/month without any long term commitment. I haven't fully checked this option out yet, but it does support direct delivery to recent Samsung Smart TVs (I happen to own one) and other devices (PCs, Android, Roku, Samsung Blu-Ray players). If this is really $10/month it sure looks worth it for skiing fans who just want USN for the Winter months.
