JoeyZac Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Use Comcast for a high speed Internet connection, and put a wireless router or access point on each floor of the house. Get a Firestick, a Prime account, and follow directions on Youtube to install Kodi on the Firestick. A few other pay services like Netflix or Hulu, and you'll have just about everything you could want. Pros: No more expensive Comcast bill. Cons: 1. Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc are all completely legal and work great. Kodi is somewhat questionable in nature, and it's what you use for live tv, sports, free ppv events, and movies that are still in the theaters. 2. No channel surfing. With all these services, you kind of have to know what you want to watch, and then click a little to get to it. There is no turning on the tv, and just flicking through 200 channels till you find something entertaining. 3. You have to be competent enough with electronics that you can handle a somewhat difficult/limited remote control, and also have the ability to do more than just hit "menu" and scroll up and down. Especially if you want to work with Kodi for all the free stuff, you either need some level of computer understanding, or access to a 12 year old to do it for you.

Humboldt Squid Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Kodi is worth the effort. All I can say is you get free everything. Live tv on it is another issue. "Whoopsy Daisy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheisty Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Kodi takes 15 mins, has a ton of free content, and gray area type stuff. You can put it on your phone, firestick, laptop, tablet etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much better solution is to turn the idiot box off. Seriously. Terri Mae does not approve this message, but screw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be legal trouble or could be network penetration trouble but its not a good idea. I love my Firestick!

Humboldt Squid Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 The reason Kodi exists is because people are furious with cable and direct tv prices and what you get for that price. People want to cut the cord and its the result of cable being greedy and having awful customer service. even Netflix sucks, its cheap but it has no new movies and when you search for an old movie you want to watch its not there half the time.

So if you don't like what a company sells something for, it's OK to steal it? If I like, say, Beluga caviar, but I think that the price is outrageous, that makes it OK to into a store and shoplift? There's a very simple solution if you think TV is too expensive: don't watch it. Read a book, go for a walk, or bop the baloney, whatever. Or get a digital antenna and watch F-Troop reruns on MeTV. You're not entitled to cheap television. Edited August 1, 2017 by Belmo Terri Mae does not approve this message, but screw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
