Our promotional deal just ended with ATT and the bill has gone back up. We really only use HBO so we can have access to HBOGO and rarely watch any of the other channels. Was hoping to see what others are doing for cable and internet. We don’t feel like paying $91 a month for basic cable, HBO, and internet!! So if you have any recommendations let me know!!
I’m ready to get away from AT&T too…service is good, but the price is going up.
Go get a jailbroken Amazon ■■■■■■■■■…haven’t turned on our DirectTV boxes in 2 weeks or so.
Only downside is you have to have one for every TV!

Tell me more please…$40 on Amazon. Do I just need the internet connection and that’s it?

My niece did this a couple months ago and loves it, we are thinking of doing the same and ditching DirecTV.

From what i understand talking to my niece (I have not been over there to see the process) each jailbroken stick will begin archiving live TV to be replayed in an on-demand format. You can search by show, channel, etc. Also, she said there were dedicated local channels such as Clemson/Carolina “channels” with news, replayed games etc…
You need a stick for every TV and WiFi to handle the traffic. No logins for ESPN, Sling, Hulu etc…

color me speechless
you throw $ around like Easy on a 3 day weekend, yet you’re tv costs too much.
Hater… Pfffft.
My dream is to tell Time Warner “See ya”. I have to call and fuss at them every year when my “promotional” rate goes up. While they do lower the price, I should not have to do this every year. Personally, if it wasn’t for football season, I could just about do away with TV. 100’s of channels with little to nothing to watch.

I purchased one a few weeks ago…and keep having ‘buffering’ problems. I haven’t been able to watch a movie yet. Any recommendations? We have the fastest Comcast internet service that they provide and their wireless router.

I have been using a combination of sling with a digital antena and while it’s not perfect we get virtually everything that my wife and I watched on dish for roughly $40 a month(still have to pay for internet which we already had).
I am thinking we may go with the jailbroken fire stick. From what I am reading you still need to pay for subscriptions to certain things like Netflix, Hulu, etc if you want to see most of your more popular movies and shows if you have just the normal ■■■■■■■■■. How is the picture with the fire stick?

I’m no IT guy, but I have the crappiest AT&T internet and never have an issue, even with the kid watching netflix in the bedroom at the same time…

This should help solve your buffering problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EkxhOuzymU
Also the box is better than the stick, better hardware and it’s also better to have a direct connection to your internet.
Another issue with XBMC/Kodi is that after a while you will need to update the box with the newest version of Kodi. If you don’t have Exodus as an Add-on, get it. Also, it’s not a jailbroken device, the ■■■■■■■■■ runs off of an Android Operating System and it’s just sideloading an app from your laptop/Android Phone.
