[GeorgiePorgie]

Anyone have this?

www.sling.com

Seems awesome. Lots of Live sports and new channels. I'm sick of paying 106/mo for internet and cable....

i have hulu and netflix and thats really all you need. have a media center app on pc as well that i can stream to the tv that has tons of live tv channels... sports all the current movies etc.... all free...

also bought a $15 powered HD tv antenna from micro center, thinking it would be a waste... and get most of the local channels crystal clear in HD plus some weird extra crap, for free as well. anyone that pays for cable is insane. never again.

Have been cable TV free for over a year

https://sonarr.tv/ + kodi + RaspberryPI = $35 one time fee cable TV no commercials ftw

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

How does sonarr work. The site doesn't work well on my phone.

And what is kodi ??

 

[Bill480]

Sonarr watches RSS feeds and compares them to the shows you have setup within it. When new episodes hit, it downloads them, moves them to the correct folder, renames the file, deletes the junk files, etc.

Kodi is front end software for a home media PC/raspberry pi/chromecast/whatever flavor you chose.

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

So it's basically telling you when to download a show ?

 

[Bill480]

No....

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

I think I'm just gonna go hulu plus Netflix and hd antenna

 

[TwentyThreeMX]

you aint smart nuff to use kodi and sonarr

 

[John250]

I am not smart enough for any of them.........Guess I am stuck with cable. I like to turn the power on and have tv. No complications.

 

[Bill480]

That's all I do.. everything in the background is automated

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

It can't be that hard. Saving money motivates me to learn.

 

[TwentyThreeMX]

google is your friend.

 

[MxFreedom33]

You guys must not have any kids lol .. TV is your friend if you ever want to get anything done.

 

[Bill480]

? I still have a TV and a bajillion shows/movies.

 

[ck1racerx]

So can you get Fox Sux 1 and 2? Fox Sux Ohio? I must have my racing and Reds games or I would go crazy actually listening to my wife talk...
And what do you guys do about internet service? I would love to get out of this $125 a month crap.

 

[Bill480]

I use someone else's login for fox sports in HD. I have a non-hd stream for freeez. I pay $40 a month for TWC 25mb down/2up interwebs.

[GeorgiePorgie]
