Ditching Cable

[}BuLL]

Cable cutters need a good OTA DVR.

This is by far the best.

Cable is probably going to be your only option for this. Sat and cellular are data limited to the extreme even if you could get the speed. This is going to have to change someday, but for now it's just a big cup of suck for those in the sticks.

Looked up reviews for Atlink again. Several people I know have it and like it but not using it to stream TV. The Google reviews as recent as 1 week ago ranged from Excellent to very bad with very bad being the majority. It looks like if you are close enough and in direct sight of a tower it can be very good but still not reliable. I can have them come to my house and test but most likely will have to wait a few more years for the limited standards to change.

What does that equate to per hour? Netflix says 3gig for HD.



I've not heard a peep from them. If they start throttling or charging for overages I'll upgrade.

1.35GB per hour.

I used to have service from a similar company, but I was ~2 miles LOS to the tower. It seemed that opinions could easily be divided into two groups among the other subscribers I knew. Those with positive opinions were usually on higher tiers and knew the limits of what they were buying and how to work within those limits. Those with negative opinions were usually on lower tiers and didn't understand how the fiber at work could be so much faster than their home internet connection.

I have a Magnavox HDD/DVD recorder that has been great, it will record the wife's soap to the HD while at the same time I can watch something recorded the night before. Couple years old and although I haven't had any problems I understand the DVD and hard drives can be replaced with standard off the shelf computer parts.

This is the unit on Wal-Mart.com

Roku vs. Firestick. Any difference?

I've had hell trying to find NBA Thunder games on Kodi. Coupla live apps which are useless for those who want to watch later, and "archived" footage is spotty, crappy and rare.

Still using my DVR.

I hadn't considered Chromecast. I will take a look at it right now. Thanks!

With Kodi:
Try: sports devil
- first row sports (Eur)
- NBA
This has worked for me.
