The only land based broadband I can get is Comcast. YTTV at $50 probably isn't any cheaper than a bundle.

The only thing I want that isn't OTA are the ESPN channels for Jayhawk BB.

If I have NBCSn I would watch some NHL.

If I understand correctly Disney is only including ESPN+.

I love my Chiefs. I now live in NC. Does anyone know what add on I need to watch Chiefs such as kctv 5? Thanks

Kodi

I've read you can do it with CBS All Access and changing your browser's location. Google it for details.

I have Dish Network, and have been searching around for ways to be able to cut ties with them. I was doing some research on Sling TV, and when I googled it I came across this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=slin...hrome&ie=UTF-8

They are owned by Dish Network.

Yeah, but ESPN plus allows you to stream Monday night football. I don't know what he was wanting it for, but, that's enough for me. Only time I watch ESPN any more is for MNF.

How do I tell what game I’ll get regionally on Hulu Live, so I can figure out if I need to watch the Chiefs game at a bar on the 8th?

There's a blackout link on this page, that might help:

Yeah. I can see that. I need all the channels for Jayhawk basketball.

You used to be able to watch the college BB free shortly after they finished on the rewind streaming but they got rid of that.

For streaming to a Windows desktop, is YTTV the cheapest option?

YouTube is about the same as the others. The cheapest is Sling if you can get by with just blue or just Orange. They are only $25 each or $40 for both. Most of the rest are around $50/ month now.

I need some help.

I have a 65" Samsung TV. It has as app for Youtube TV. I wanted to try the 5 day free trial. When I clicked on the app and selected the free trial, it directed me to go to my computer, log in to my google account, go to the youtube tv site and create an account using the promo code that was on my TV. I did all of this, and now am on my free trial... on my computer. I want to be able to click on the app on my samsung tv and be able to watch it there. Can anyone help me with what I need to do to watch this on my TV?

Typically you either log in to your Google account on the TV, or it might give you a code to "activate" on your computer. Regardless, try the app on the TV again and see what options you have to sign in or activate.

That worked. Thank you DaFace! :toast:

After probably 20 years as a customer, I just kicked Dish Network to the curb.

BTW they are charging me $15 to ship them back their equipment. Pricks!!!

Lmao wow. Not even ATT were that shitty when I cancelled them.

Bastages! Probably averaged $100 a month for 20 years. At least. Probably close to $25 Grand over the years. Getting close to 2 grand a year lately.

Too bad no one does postage due.

I can get a jailbroke firestick with EVERYTHING on it. So I'm thinking of cutting the cord

Did you do this- I would like info on the jailbroken firestick from someone who's had one

You don't jailbreak a Firestick. All you have to do is turn on Developer mode in the settings and install the app manually. No root access is required. I've posted the instructions somewhere here for how to do that. Seriously it's like 4-5 steps and you're done. Zero reason to pay somebody. Let me know specifically what you want, and I'll give you fresh instructions.

I was going to purchase a already jailbroken fire stick for for the latest kodi version and get a vpn access number to watch chiefs games from local tv in kc area.
New to streaming your help is appreciated.

Its in the setting under my firestick.

I would not recommend that. You'll be disappointed. Stay away from any pre-loaded device with Kodi. You will not find a live sports option that works within Kodi. And if you did, you wouldn't want a VPN for it. You only want a VPN service when you want something to spoof geolocation for an app that checks for it. With pirate streams, you never have to spoof your location.

Just get a normal Firestick or FireTV, and use Firefox to access r/nflstreams or sportsurge.net. Then sideload the Cinema app for free movies/tv. If you want live TV, look into Sling/Hulu Live/Youtube TV/etc. If you get one of the live TV services, you could then use a geolocation spoofer to spoof your location for local KC sports. That's a much better solution than a VPN. Because a VPN will reduce your connection speed by more than half. The way a VPN works is that all your internet traffic is sent across the internet to that VPN server and back to you, which often reduces your throughput to shit depending on how much bandwidth the VPN server has. Like I said avoid VPN unless you absolutely have to and there aren't other ways to spoof location.

Thanks Mr Fish

The problem with this is custom builds are dependent on a server that will probably go down in a month or two and every customer gets ****ed and gets angry at the developers who get tired of the shit and close down.

I had always planned on just using a VPN when I turn on YTTV to stream local KC sports. Do you have any specific geolocaiton spoofers that you recommend? Thanks in advance for the help Fish.

I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...kegps&hl=en_US

Just drag the pointer to the location you want to use and hit the play button. The app will disappear. Reset the device. Go to YoutubeTV and update your location.

YoutubeTV makes you "Check in" to your home location every 3 months or so though. So if you continue spoofing a location it will eventually tell you it has to check in from the home location.

If you are using playstation vue to stream sony just announced they are shutting it down due to to much competition.

Pisses me off too! I have tried all the streaming services and settled on PS Vue. Now it is back to the drawing board. :banghead:

Just cut the cord and Vue was my choice...sonofabitch! Enjoyed the sports packages and NFL network and redzone. The NFL leaves me no choice but to VPN my viewing overseas. I'm not paying 150-200 a month for the luxury of getting NFL Red Zone 17 of 52 weeks of the year.

I do not understand.

Some people try and sell these devices "Fully loaded" for more money than the device is actually work. In the majority of cases, "Fully loaded" means a custom Kodi build with preloaded add-ons and lots of empty promises. Preloaded Kodi builds will become unreliable in a matter of months. Support after purchase is nonexistent in most cases. It happens a lot.

What he said. You'll have a useless, overpriced device in the matter of months.

It’s been eight months for us without cable. We have Prime, Netflix, and. Roku. We watch the KC games on Reddit. Whenever they decide to shut that down I’ll probably have to add cable again.

Haven’t really missed it. I miss watching American Pickers but that’s about it.

FYI, check out https://sportsurge.net for live football/basketball/MMA/Boxing. Been having really good luck with that.

Thanks for the help. Having an issue on setup though. I attached a couple screenshots. It looks like in the version of android my phone is updated to the developer options menu isn't in the settings menu. Only developer options found when searching in settings shown in second screen shot. Has to be an easy fix but I'm not finding it. Thanks for any help in advance Fish.

I'm guessing your phone is too old to have that setting. I have quite a few additional dev options on my Galaxy:

https://i.imgur.com/48TZg3C.jpg

Did you try and run it to see if it worked anyway?

About a year and a half old, galaxy S8. That does make sense though and android is always slow rolling up OS updates on "older" phones. No luck running it yet. Just checked and there is an update available. Fingers crossed and again, I appreciate the help.

Wait... my phone is a Galaxy S8 so you should be seeing the same thing in Developer options. There's like 10 pages of Dev options and settings. Do you know what version Android you're running? Go to About Phone\Software Information and see what Android version it says.

i was going to cut the cable then i did the math and it wasnt worth it! for me to cut cable and go full stream i would have to pay an extra 50 for unlimited Data, then sub to other services and i was right back in price to where i am right now. lol Sounded good, but it really wasnt for me.

??

Sling has the RedZone (and NFLN) for $35 a month and can be cancelled when the season is over.

It's not Android causing that issue. It's the phone carriers and manufacturer that cause those ridiculous delays. They have to bake in all their bullshit.


I can't stand iOS but at least you can get up to 5 years of updates on their phones .

I've also recently decided to cut the cord and bought Amazon Firestick. I should say, I'm pleased with it. There is a great amount of Kodi addons like EXODUS. So, now I can watch movies, TV shows, news, etc. without necessary of paying big bills.

Right. I did the math and with Internet + subscribing costs, it would be way more than what I'm paying for Dish. I've got free sports package for a year + DVR in two room and AT120+ for like $80/month. Plus free Showtime for 2 months.

Internet is like $70 a month by itself, just for service.

**** the Internet.

Internet prices are only going to get worse as more people try to cut the cord

I just signed up with Cox again and they offered me 150mbps for 3 years at $45/month. I'm good with it. And for my streaming, I didn't need any more that 1000 GBs/mo. So I didn't even have to upgrade my internet plan when I went to streaming.

Speed isn't the issue I have 275 down for 70 a month, the problem is data caps, I'm way over that number every single month. Even if I went back to cable I'd have to keep the net so it wouldn't make my bill cheaper at all.

I pay $60 per month for the exact same service. It normally would cost $85. You got a good deal. I have to call in every year to keep mine where is at. I wish att would offer something comparable to force Cox to lower rates. DSL just can't keep up with cable.

FYI.... Woot is selling an Amazon Fire Stick today for $19.99: https://www.woot.com/offers/amazon-f...f=w_cnt_wp_0_1

Looks like Hulu is bumping their Live TV price by $10. Time to look into YouTube TV more seriously...

Just got that email too. I did a quick look into YouTube TV, looks like most of the channels are the same, the ones that are missing I have on another service I use called Philo TV. (which is also a great value FWIW) So my channels would stay virtually the same. However due to my wife watching a few Hulu series we would have to at least maintain the non-live Hulu(we'd just keep the Disney+ bundle w/o live tv) after running the numbers my bill would change by $1 by switching.

Do most of you do the LIVE versions on the streaming services due to sports? That's the only thing keeping me on the live versions of anything.

It's worth it to me. I put up an antenna, hooked it up to a USB tuner on my PC and bought the lifetime subscription of Plex, so my locals are free. I have Hulu and Spotify bundled for $10/ month. Philo is $20, Disney plus is free because I have Verizon, and I have CBS all access for $6. That's way cheaper than my Dish was. Internet is $50/ month, but I was paying for that anyway, so I don't really factor it in to the cost.

Mostly. I still watch a handful of network shows as well, which I could probably live without but are nice to have.

Live versions are fine for sports. I used them before I got my antenna. A few seconds delay, but that's the only issue.

I don't know if I shared on here but I signed up with ATT Uverse internet after having Cox for years. After about 3 weeks when I saw my first bill and realized ATT was not giving me the price they promised, I went back to Cox. Well, I did call them and try to get them to give me the price they said but they wouldn't budge. So I told them to come and get their !@#$. Cox, when they heard my story were more than happy to give me this deal. So I guess it worked out in the end. Perhaps you should try that. :p

I pay 49.99 a month for spectrum internet, my most recent speed test gave me download speed of 236mbps. I’d personally say it’s better than the google fiber and mediacom I’ve had in the past, and defiantly cheaper.

I have been using hulu live for a year. With the price hike, I subscribed to youtube tv. I really like youtube better, yet it keeps getting stuck during commercials and have to restart the app. Anyone else have this problem?

You shouldn't be having that issue. Reinstall the app.

What device are you using?

I am using Roku

I tried it out for a few days and had the same issue on Roku. Haven't decided if I'll try it again when my Hulu sub is up in a month.

It only seems to be on VOD.

I use YoutubeTV on every device except Roku, and have never seen that issue. Not a fan of the Roku.
