You'll get over the fear of the change within a couple days. Especially if the rain lets up, and we can do shit outside without getting soaked!

Who all got sling tv? I've had nothing but problems with it.

I have not used it for a couple weeks, not much on the available channels I'd like to watch. I'll try it out later. I use it on a ROKU stick and a ROKU 3 player.

Sling seems to be working OK on my ROKU 3 player, Took a second to load, but ESPN, TNT, AMC and HGTV all came in OK

Finally, Showtime now has an app so you cna sign up to watch it on Roku, Apple, and some devices, (not android yet). 30 day free trial, then $10.99 per month. I may sign up later on, I like Showtime better than HBO, which is $14.99 I think

Quick update, this stinks!!! Got on a chat with Showtime to find out if broadcasts are HD/5.1 audio. They are not!!!

Lelaine D: Yup that is correct! We currently do not streamed in HD, we are working towards this and are hopeful it will be in the near future.

If you have kids, cutting the cord is like getting rid of a cheap babysitter

back to the top. I commented in the other thread, but didn't want to cloud that one up.

I'm really wanting to do this now, I hate spending so damn much for DirecTV to watch 6-8 different channels.

I am good with Netflix, Hulu, Kodi, and Amazon Video. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to record and pause live local channels (NBC, FOX, CBS, etc.). Someone recently pointed me to the new Tivo box, and it's not bad at all but has a another monthly fee, albeit small. Any other suggestions? I've looked at a few and they all seem to have their advantages and drawbacks.

[CWO]

Very promising.

The Bolt is just the next generation after the Roamio. I linked the Roamio in the other thread since it was only $50.

Does this service require a subscription through a cable company? I've tried some of the stand alone apps, but it requires me calling friends, to find someone willing to give me their access code to use the apps.

Sling does not. You pay Sling, and they make the channels they offer available.

Awesome, I will have to look into their service.

This, but I felt Sling was lacking any content really. The channels it gives you access to are not channels I really watch, other than ESPN and AMC. It just wasn't worth keeping for us.
