Anyone have SlingTV?

[Natty]

Directv contract is about to/has run out and thinking about getting SlingTV basic. I also plan on getting netflix or hulu or one of the streaming services. I have one smart tv and one "dumb" tv so I guess I would have to get a streaming stick or something for that one. SlingTV will give you either a Roku or FireTv stick or you can get a Roku 3, Amazon FireTv, or Nexus for $50 so that would go to the "dumb" tv. Also debating getting a Tablo for the DVR and to get local channels instead of getting an antenna. Just want to cut down on costs and this seems like a good way considering what we watch (News, sports, HGTV(wife)). Anyone have experience with these?

Interesting. Why do you have two accounts each of Netflix and Hulu though? I'd straight up cut it all out, but what's that happy wife saying again? Ha. All she watches are some NBC shows, Bachelor/ette, and HGTV. Obviously the first two are on local channels NBC and ABC but don't know how I could get the HGTV. I think some shows are on Netflix but not everything. Might just nip that one and deal with the repercussions until she gives up . What kind of antenna do you have?

edub, I am going to need a detailed rundown on the Plex and KODI options. You mentioned KODI before and I tried to research it, but honestly just got more confused.


On topic, Sony announced last week or so that they intend the PlayStation Vue app to have a per network / channel subscription option available. So if you want to just get Sportsman's Channel, HGTV, and HBO, that's all you have to get. Not 300 other channels that you pay for and don't use.

Roku 3 is the way to go. Amazon Prime instant video is free if you already have Amazon Prime for the free shipping. And then add Sling TV for ESPN, CNN, Food network, and Cartoon Network. Antenna gets your local channels in digital. 30 bucks a month and you are rocking! I'm never using Comcast again!!!

What kind of antenna do y'all have?

How fast of an Internet connection does one need to have good streaming. Mine would be on two TVs max.

Anybody have the Cspire fiber? Not available down here but I heard it was supposed to be extremely fast.
