So what’s this Kodi thing?

The cord was officially cut today. I returned all hardware. I’m running nothing but PS Vue, an antenna and Kodi. Mucho dinero saved. Thanks for all the help.

Nice. Be a little different at first but after awhile you will get used to it.
Wife is griping a little because she can’t find her shows as easily. I told her she could get cable and pay for it. She will figure it out. I’m happy.

Hulu looks to be unveiling their cable package towards the end of May.
I’m three months in and couldn’t be happier. If you are thinking about doing it, do it.

If you want MLB for free just head to reddit.
I’ve been using those free streams for a couple years now. Stick to the NESN, MASN, YES type streams and you don’t have to dl anything extra. Don’t ever pay for anything or click on the ads, and you’ll be fine.
I think that’s the best value right now. And what I would use if I can talk the wife down from Cable.
the kid does that for NBA games. He likes to sit in Teamspeak and chat with his friends (or game on his other monitor) while streaming NBA games.
Does Vue stream in stereo only? No surround sound? I’m trying to remember why I backed off cutting the cord.
Yeah all streaming tv services are still stereo with 5.1 on some on demand stuff. Simulated works good for me as it goes through my Receiver.
This article has a great comparison chart on the top services right now.

Hulu does look promising. No AMC is rough. Hopefully they fix that. Also whats up woth Viacom. PS Vue does not have viacom channels.
Viacom is cbs, and they are trying to do their own pay model. It doesn’t surprise me that they aren’t on other services as they’d probably want a premium fee to be there.
FYI Today Woot has a Arris Surfboard modem on sale. If you currently rent a cable modem from the cable company, STOP, Stop right now get this and return that rented BS.
Hey that’s great. We have an Amazon Fire stick thing that can plug into any tv via HDMI and it has all sorts of neat things. We are going to subscribe to Sling and try it out eventually.
I haven’t had cable/satellite TV in years, haven’t really cared to since Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube are around. There are shows I’d like to keep up with however that don’t come on Hulu.
Also, I’m with TWC as well (well in my area they were just merged with Spectrum) and we have a standard package of 20/2. It isn’t a bundle. Just the one standard package. I pay the same amount monthly as you do for your extreme package. The hell gives?
