Our contract is up in April, we will not be renewing.
I would suggest downloading it separately, it will be an app all on its own like Netflix or Kodi (fortunately, you can still access it in kodi through "android apps" )
That is who I used, he made it the most straight forward and there is some FAQ's as well
I've just learn to live without DVR. There are options out there...But spending more money isn't an idea I like.My biggest hurdle right now is trying to understand if/how to include DVR functionality in a streaming setup. Web searches bring up a lot of info but I don't understand most of it. Can any of you shed some light on this topic?

I'm definitely not seeing that option with SlingTV. I can go back and watch an episode that aired earlier in the day but FF/RW is locked out. So far I'm unimpressed with it overall. I will definitely be looking at the Youtube option that started this thread.You don't need a DVR. Just look up the show again, they are always there and you can FF and rewind them.

Yeah, this looks like a great option for those already paying for YT Red. $25 on top of YT Red and dump cable/satellite provider.i've been without directv for over a year now, but haven't been able to find a streaming service that really did it for me. I think this might be the ticket - low price that includes most of the sports I want to watch, local channels, and DVR. Plus I was already paying for YouTube Red, so that is a added bonus.
The roadblock seems to be the content creators. I.e., Disney doesn't want to sell just one channel to the distributors (cable, satellite, over-the-internet skinny bundlers), they force the distributors to buy a package of channels. The other content creators do the same. And they've been able to get away with it because the bundlers were able to pass that charge on to the customers.The first company to finally embrace al a carte' programming will take over the market.

But with Netflix and Amazon Prime, you have people saying 'F*** it', I can live without all of Disney's (or other media company's) channels. So this is forcing the content creators to move toward selling smaller packages of channels. We're still a long way from pure a la carte, but things are changing rapidly in comparison to the glacial pace of change before most people had high speed internet.
Pure a la carte also means many channels will cease to exist. There are a lot of channels that enhance a package, but couldn't stand on their own. Kind of like having all the factory 'goodies' when selling a Glock - they'll help the sale, but there's no interest in that stuff without the pistol.
I don't really watch news channels, but I know some Kodi builds have news feeds from all over the world.When cutting to canle, what are the best options for viewing news channels?
We just dropped Dish for Playstation Vue. Wow, love it.
I bought the Amazon Fire TV box, not the stick, and a digital antenna. Between Vue and the antenna I get about 75 channels. It was a tough sell for the wife because shes old school and was skeptical about streaming. And with Vue you can stream up to 5 devices.Tell me more

I'm 28 and have no idea what the heck Kodi is or half of the other stuff in this thread. Maybe I just read too much. The only thing that I miss since getting rid of cable is hockey and college football.
Thank you sir. I will have to check into this.https://www.amazon.com/HONGYU-Andro...2412&sr=8-10&keywords=Android+pro+TV+unlocked

Those two items @ChickenHawk and you'll die before you've seen all the channels and movies...all you need is a good internet connection above 10MBs
No contracted TV...no payments...just way too much stuff to watch.
Who are y'all using for internet service? I'm trying to find the cheapest option but it seems like no matter who I look at I can get tv for a extra 25.99 a month.
This is the real crux of the matter. It's not the cable company's TV holding it back, it's internet access that's worth a damn holding it back. Most folks don't have more than one reliable source for high speed. I can use RoadRunner or some crappy DSL. If I have RR, I may as well get cable over paying for a bunch of other services. If we had real access to cheap high speed like many countries it would be a non issue. We need the South Korea system. Their internet dominates ours...
I agree with extreme prejudice! Most THIRD WORLD countries have faster public WIFI than we have direct connections. I wanna see what comes out of the NYvs Spectrum/TWC suit. Greed made them overload nodes, without any updating of infrastructure for over a decade.
I spent days and a lotta cash trying to conform to all kinds of BS from Time Warner's tech support, only to find out the truth from a tech later. I pay for 300MBs and was lucky to get 15, until after I upgraded all my equipment and cabling, to where it exceeds that which is available anywhere today. The tech enlightened me. The best I could hope for, with the number of people on my node is 300MBs. It decreases with every device activation on the node. I told him that I was able to get 300 when on the phone with support. He told me that if I pressed a tech or engineer while on the phone, they'd kill off everyone on the node except me until I saw 300...then put them all back on. It's freakin rediculas !
It's criminal is what it is. The lack of competition allowed and the level of government interference is mind-boggling. Greatest country in the world and our internet is a joke in many places around the globe... It should be blazing fast and next to free...
Not only THAT...What about this logic of "Air Time" for phones instead of a one way duration rate like the rest of the danged world !
