I have an OTA antenna for stuff on normal channels. Anything else, I search in several plugins I have installed within XBMC for a live stream. Either the Sportsdevil or NaviX plugins always has the games I want to watch. Quality can vary depending on the popularity of the game.

There are some paid options available. They're essentially pirated streams that you pay a monthly fee for. But normally HD quality.

Without a doubt, live sports is the main drawback with this setup. Sometimes it will require you to try 10-15 different streams before finding one that works great. It can be frustrating. But it will work. Technology and bandwidth has improved a lot in the last few years, so online streams are improving all the time.
