A Better Way to Watch TV - Comments Page 2

For what this is worth. I contacted Sling to ask a simple question re their programing and ended up getting into an argument with the representative. The rep was probing for a lot of my personal info such as what is my physical address, full name, email address etc. Sorry, I will Pass.

I am not a true cable cutter, since it was cheaper to keep the cable box, plus I like having a clock below my television. But I am another fan of Kodi. I have linux box, and after joining a couple of forums, watching youtube videos, I am having the best tv experience ever. If I only used my cable box, my tv would be in sd, and if I used only my tv, I could get HD, but limited channels, no pausing tv. Addons like Phoenix and Exodus (Genesis's predecessor) get you most shows that you want, once configured correctly. The bonus is no commercials!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Just so you know, using Kodi (or similar) to view content that normally requires payment or paid subscription is not legal.

I cut the cable years ago, and I have an Android TV box which I get hundreds of live tv stations and latest movies all for free. I also have kodi which also gives me hundreds of options. I also bought a few years a go a good outdoor antenna (Channel Master) and I receive 25 Over the Air channels HD for free. The only thing I pay for is the internet and my cell phone plan! I am really happy!!

Sling still has too much crap that I would never watch, will they ever just let us pick the channels we want to watch, without all that extra BS.

Sling would never work in the area where I live because my only internet option is Hughes Net and it is so slow it would take 6 hours to watch a 2 hour movie.

We cut the cord with DirecTV and it was the best thing ever. We are in the Metro D.C. area and have Verizon FiOS 150/150 package and the picture is awesome. It takes a little getting use to not having commercials on certain channels but I can live with that. The price for everything is more than half of the previous bill. Try Sling TV and see if it works for you.
