Would like to know which streaming providers are best based on a cord cutters actual experience. I am looking at PlayStation Vue, Hulu and Netflix. Presently I have Amozon and use Roku and Fire Stick.

there are a lot of them on ROKU including Roku TV, TubiTV and a bunch of others that are FREE and you have to watch a commercial once in a while. The content is as good as Netflix I would say.

We are in our 4th or 5th month of directv now. It’s the basic package at $35 per month. What’s nice for us is we have a place in RI and in the Villages and we use this in either place. There are quite a few stations in their basic package but we mostly watch Fox News, Fox business, one America news and tvland. We get directv now thru Apple tv’s, roku’s and fire sticks. Directv now had an offer of a free fire stick if you prepay one month, a free roku if you prepay two months and a free Apple TV for three months. Not sure if those offers are still good. We also have Netflix and amazon. Our previous cable bill in RI (also for phone and internet) was close to $200 per month. Hope this helps.

Best post of the month.

We have Hulu, Netflix, and Apple. Might be a bit of overkill, but Hulu is great for watching TV shows, Netflix is good for their own programming and movies, and Apple is good for streaming from our I-Pad and I-Phone. Hope this helps.

Agree. There is more to watch than can be watched. Roku also has PBS content..

To truly cut the cord and still get TV including local stations you need internet and this device:

SkyStream TWO Air Mouse Package | | SkyStream Android TV Box

Check it out!

Can you factually link to where using the file sharing system Kodi without subscription is illegal?


"Kit Walsh from The EFF says Kodi says, its software is not the problem. If you download copyrighted material, like the new movie Wonder Woman, you're in trouble. If you "stream" the material; you *might* be in trouble. The law clearly states that "reproduction, distribution and performance" of the material is illegal. It's a grey area though, if you're just viewing."

wkyc.com | VERIFY | Is it illegal to download Kodi on your Amazon Fire Stick?

Would never watch wonder woman.


The movie studios and music industry have been seriously guilty of violating antitrust laws for decades, stealing our money.

Does anyone truly know if you can put up an external antenna in Fenney? The newer houses have reflective material in the attics so you can not get a signal using an antenna in your attic.

You cant get content from Apple TV, you can load an app and get content but it's just a device for launching applications. There are alot of free apps with limited content but it won't replace a satellite or cable TV subscription for live TV. You can subscribe to a skinny bundle service and get live TV and premium content but its not free.

So how much does a skinny bundle cost and what TV and internet does a person get?

Serious question, what is the cheapest way to legally get Fox News?

Thank you.

Do you still not install roof antennas?
