Fubotv - app on Firestick and Roku. Allows me to watch most live tv, Bein Sports, and lots more.
We use Hulu/Netflix, Prime as well.
Ooma telephone. Buy the base ($80?) , then $5/month.
We use a 60 mbps internet, no issues. Xfinity (Comcast - why use a different name?) still rips us off though.
Plex is great if you share with others. Free.
Quoted from Capinball:Cutting the cord is harder when you only have a few internet options. We only have comcast(cable)or frontier(dsl). I've called multiple times to get my bill lowered and have threatened to cancel. They'll call my bluff and ask for my cancellation date. Then I have to call then back and say I've changed my mind.
I have 2 OTA antennas that I can use. Problem is where I'm at winter reception is great but once leaves grow back it's too inconsistent and I cant get bigger antennas. I'm just not that close to the towers. I had no cable for 2 years and felt more productive too because I didn't feel the need to have to watch tv because I was paying for it. Problem is, there are 6 other people that feel differently.
If I could get internet for $50 a month, I'd cancel cable in a heartbeat. It's $125 with all fees and taxes with internet. Internet by itself would be $75 otherwise. I like knowing that what I want to watch will be coming in when I want to watch it or on demand. I hate cable but until there's more competition around here, I have to make it up as I go along
Yup, welcome to the Northeast.
Same here.
Check out the Fubotv app. We pay the same $75 for internet, then another $50 for the app, but get a lot of channels, plus 30 hrs of recording, and many shows are on demand.
Quoted from rx3:Yup, my son (17 also) is the same. Heaven forbid his game lags LOL. I have top of the line $400 Linksys router and CAT7 throughout the house. The only thing using wifi, is my laptop. Everything else is hardwired.
Edit: Just tested my download speed. Hard wired = 302Mbps
Wifi = 82Mbps
I've got 60 mbps and we're good playing ps4 while streaming and surfing the web.
I no longer believe the hype we need 1 trillion mbps to survive.
Quoted from vid1900:Also, sign up for Plex email newsletter.
They are sending you a unique code this month (until Feb 19) that gives you a Lifetime Plexpass for $79
Damn it, just saw this today! 2 days too late.
I think it is great that people are finally just saying "No" to the same old. I always cringe comparing prices from different regions of the country or different countries. I always see it as "well, you can afford it, so we'll charge you more."
Quoted from northerndude:Seriously, IPTV - get a stream from one of about 5 or 6 providers. $79 android tv box and $15 a month for 3000 channels and unlimited tv series built in. Also if you only want TV shows and movies, pay the $79 for an android box and the Morpheus app with Trakt tv signed in. FREE monthy costs
Does this get BeIn Sports? Gotta have my motorcycle racing!
Quoted from northerndude:There's about 50 BEIN sports channels in my guide, many are repeat and back up channels.
It has BEIN Sports HD & Channels 1 - 10
Hmmm, might have to look into this.
I'm paying around $45/mo for my Fubo, which includes BeIn. Pros vs cons?
