Are you doing it wrong? I think most of us jump on the "Free Trial" every so often and binge the few shows we're interested in for like a month. Once that's done, just cancel.Quote:

We have been using SET TV for $20 /month to watch live sports (Go Bruins/Cs). 500 + Channels works great. All the HBOS.
That too. I have no problem paying for a few months here and there if I'm still in the middle of some good shows. I kind of bounce around between Hulu+, HBO Now, and a few others.Quote:

That SET TV sounds too good to be true

Yes, I would question the content as just too good to be true for the most part. Getting into bed with piracy - would not trust them with any credit card info so then you have to do the prepaid cards to be safe. https://flixed.io/set-tv-not-legitimate/Quote:

Comcast: if you don't subscribe to cable TV, we won't sell you high-speed internet

I'm sure there are better options and more informed recommendations.. but I got an arris surfboard (can't remember which one) and google wifi. Canceled cable and now just internet. Was never a big TV guy so I can find something to watch on Netflix or Amazon and stream Bruins games off reddit. No looking back...Quote:

I am no IT guy, not even close... But I don't think there is much to a modem, it either works or doesn't. Amazon has a bunch of modems with 1000+ positive reviews. Start there. Look for one that has higher download and upload speeds than the service you receive. You can call your service provider to confirm the modem model works with their service.Quote:

4G is not even everywhere yet. 5G will be a roll out that takes years and most have 2 years before their first major metro areas get turned up. Many cellular companies have to either turn off and shut down older 2G or cdma talk and make a bunch of customers get new phones, that is planned for 2019 if they are ready with other infrastructure and back haul connections first.Quote:

So after sending in the Comcast Modem/Router that i rented, the wifi router a friend gave me was too weak, but the modem was solid. I wanted to have even better wifi reach than the comcast wifi. Ended up getting the google wifi pods (pack of three). Expensive, but these appear to work really well for getting solid wifi all over the house. Are there better/cheaper alternatives to get 400+ mbps all over the house/property?
The Google units of course figure out to be about $100 each (3 of them at $299 retail- but a few companies are discounting them). Do you need 3 of the units for full coverage is the first question? There are some others out there with mesh wifi solutions. Ubiquiti has single units for about $100 retail and multi-packs (5 it think) but they are PoE (power over Ethernet) so you either need a switch that provides the power or you have to have an injector and they also need a controller- so either install the controller software on a PC or server or get a cloud license to control them. There are some other network equipment manufacturers like TP-Link, EnGenius, Eero that also sell similar and competing Access Point products. Also depends on if you have any other place with a hard wire cable. There are a few routers that are easily converted into an access point. If you get a good deal on a newer AC router then that could be another alternative, but maybe not as smooth as the mesh solutions that truly do a great job of passing the device off to the next AP pretty seamlessly.Quote:

The family uses Kodi and Mobdro. I pretty much use mobdro exclusively. I don't like I missing a thing.
What's the diff between modbro and kodi? I've never heard of it and I'm currently trying to upgrade my kodi as all my repos have shit the bed
Mobdro is livestreaming.
Thx. So does it include sports? Or mainly just another way to get peak tv? What's it core ?
That was big news in the IT world today - lasted about 3 hours, besides internet TV, it jammed up corporate IT that connects to AWSQuote:

Here in the west not an issue. Verizon OK AT&T - OK
might see it here

Works better for us as an android app rather than an add on to kodi.Quote:

I can watch Seinfeld 24/7, no commercials) as well as a shit ton of other shows. "music".
Again, I'm not a big TV watcher in general but I can always find something on mobdro.
eta... there is the annoying forced "commercials" that they insert in between every few channel changes. They are almost always a 10-20 second add to download some cheesy candycrush type game for free. Still much better than network TV commercials. I guess the biggest downside was I had no idea wtf people were talking about when they were saying "dilly dilly"
Ah. Ok. Fuckin Comcast strikes again!Quote:

Wierd. I didn't notice any Comcast outage here in VT.
Thinking of going way overkill, way over budget and getting an Orbi RBK50. My cable comes into my basement and the best place to put my router is the worst place for reception. The signal is week in the upstairs bathroom.
DL'd Kodi yesterday and have been playing around with it. I'm kinda stoopid but might figure it out eventually. Really wanted abode Amazon prime app/add-on but no luck on OSX that I can find.
Bot sez lol. ;)
Kodi's great but a lot of the best builds shut down after receiving cease and desist orders from the FCC last month. If you find a good one let me know.Quote:

Not sure what I'm looking for being a neub. By a 'good build' are you referring to one of the add-ons that levers content?Quote:
