Ditching Cable

So do you promote theft (piracy)? From whatbin have seen the networks don't post their shows that quickly.

Arrrr "matey"

I have this indoor antenna from Amazon and can pull in 33 channels. : http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...=1423445404&sr=8-1&keywords=hd+antenna+indoor

I'm hoping Sony hurries up and moves Vue to General Availability. I don't need ESPN - I need FoxSports1 and NBCSports.

If it weren't for the wife's love of the Thunder (note I didn't say basketball), I would have pulled the plug long ago. Our tv gets Netflix, Hulu and some other cool stuff. I could have some really cool toys...

Bumping the thread to provide some information for the sports fans.

Dish now has a seperate streaming TV service called Sling Tv.

For $20 a month you can stream these channels

ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food, HGTV, Travel, Disney, Cartoon Network, ABC Family, CNN, Go Television


For an additional $5 you can add

ESPNU, SEC Network, ESPN News, Bases Loaded, ESPN Buzzer Beater, Goal Line, beinHDsport, Universal sports.

So if the need for ESPN is what's keeping you tied to the cable company you now have an alternative option.

It's a monthly fee with no contracts. You can cancel at any time.
I'm thinking I will add it during football season for the games on ESPN and cancel after football ends.

Ok you've got me..... how do I get AMC?

I think some of the AMC shows are on Amazon prime, not sure.
I don't watch any of those.

We have an xbox one. Can I use this for streaming tv?

We cut the Cox Cable cord too, bought and hooked up antennas recommended by one of the Geek Dudes at Best Buy and can't get KOCO Channel 5! WTF? Everything else comes in nice and clear, and combined with an Amazon Firestick and a Roku, we have plenty to watch...but no Channel 5. Anybody know what the deal is?

Did you scan for the channel. You have to select that channel to pull up.

I have no problem pulling all the network channels.
