You can watch everything live on ESPN app now. I'm watching Syracuse vs Duke right now just through the free app on my firestick.

You have to log in with a subscriber account. Once you cancel you cable or dish tv, you won't be able to watch ESPN or ESPN2 on the ESPN app. Except for ESPN3 which is free to everyone.

But after I cancelled my cable tv with COX, the login worked for 2-3 months then it stopped.

Correct. After I canceled my ATT uverse I could no longer watch the watch ESPN app. I got the sports package with Sl ing for an extra $5.00/month($25.00/month total) and it catches ESPN, 2, news, and U and some other soccer channels. With college baseball season coming up I wanted ESPNU.
If you use Roku 2 or 3 as your interface you can download the Foxnews app and I'm sure you can watch full episodes of most of the shows Ada soon as they are finished airing live. You can't watch live but it's hard for me to watch live tv anyway.. I watch PBS news and PBSnewshour is available sand night. I used to DVR that show but now it's all "on demand" along with every other show that plays on PBS i.e. (Cooking shows and This old House) all for free!
Personally, I'll never go back to cable because I have more good shows available to me now just through Roku and all of the apps. Also, Hulu and Netflux are month to month so you can go back and forth if you choose rather this paying for both year round.
My uverse high speed internet, which I have 0 complaints about, is $68/month, sling and Hulu is another $36/month and those are also month to month.
It won't be long before the cable providers will start offering a la carte service to stay relevant.
It won't be long before

Ott box mxq is better than firestick. Amazon prime don't let you watch all movie. Most new ones have to rent. Get kodi on on firestick or mxq free movies. check out you tube for more info on kodi

I'm not sure about the fire stick, but the Roku 2 & 3 have a remote and that's nice. I have to use my phone or tablet for the Google Chrome.

If I have a device like a PS3 or Blue Ray player with Hulu/Netflix/Amazon already on it... is there any advantage to purchasing a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick?

I think I can get by without the Sling TV app by using my mom and dad's cable login for ESPN.

They are all basically the same thing. A means to get to each App. Just that some are faster and slower than others.

Right now we watch Netflix on the Blu-Ray player that I bought a few months ago... It already has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon on it...
My internet speed is pretty slow at the house with DSL but Netflix seems to run fine on this device.
I'm not sure my internet would be able to handle a faster device.

The only thing I think I am missing is the WatchESPN app... I guess I probably need a Firestick or Roku for that one?

I have two Roku's and an Amazon Firestick. The Roku 3 is much faster when navigating the menu. No difference between them once you are watching something though.
