if it's being disseminated via Kodi, firestick, 'droid box, etc. then it is available for your pc, via innerwebz streaming, as well ... just takes some digging, but it's all out there.
"It's all out there" just means pirated right? Like the old Napster days. It was all out there. I didn't have to pay for any of my music. But it was stealing. Am I missing something here?if it's being disseminated via Kodi, firestick, 'droid box, etc. then it is available for your pc, via innerwebz streaming, as well ... just takes some digging, but it's all out there.
e.g., i just ran a GoT episode search for chips and giggles, and the entire series is out there, right up to current episode ... "Kodi" and it's trappings just centralize it all, as i said earlier
analogy will get little argument from me ... but there is currently nothing, law wise, to prevent/dissuade the activity.
Follow up question -- does the extollo provide a different access point name? In other words, will I have to switch around to connect to different access point names going from one room to another? Thanks
Its still savings with a twist. I just say 10 hail marys every weekend and my conscience is clear.
I had Nick Jr on Sling. Just have to get it with the right package.
Can get Nicktoons on sling which will help (kids are 9 and almost 13...nick Jr doesn't help). I was just reading more about the nicktoons.
Is that another they don't allow? As I said...new to looking at this...thought you could with the cloud DVR thing? Do they block stuff like ESPN and stuff?
Now my next question.
Well...local is less what Im worried about. I know most other things would be on demand content anyway (kids shows) rather than just live.
Correct, I can't get local CBS or ABC with Sling. But I use CBS All-Access for my local CBS and Hulu for ABC.
Are you required to have a cable account for CBS All-Access or is it a standalone service?
Stand alone. $6/month for live, local CBS. Also includes a ton of on-demand shows CBS past and present. Cheers, I Love Lucy, Frasier, Survivor, NCIS, CSI, etc.
I've done it three different ways so short answer is it is what you want or need it to be.
You're missing a couple of things:
Can I just plug it into my router, plug the other end in a room where I don't have a signal, and project that same router signal into the other room? (Same access point name and everything?)Shutout said:
With streaming you can control your location to avoid blackouts and out of market games simply by using a vpn.
Or just get a sports streaming service for 10/month and get access to all sports out there including pay per views
I use an IPTV addon on Kodi (firestick) and pay $9/month for live TV channels. I get pretty much every cable channel, all the pay movie channels, the big 4 networks (not local though) plus the added benefit of PPVs and sporting events, including the NFL Sunday Ticket (as well as hundreds of channels from every corner of the globe which I dont really watch). Now, I also have DirecTV, but I pay the $9/month for IPTV to use at my GFs place (she doesnt watch enough TV at her place to want to pay for cable). No real usable guide and no DVR, but for $9 Im not expecting to get the full cable experience.Otis said:
You're not missing anything. It's no different than the days when your neighbor would "hook you up" with free cable.Otis said:
You can do it either of the ways you described but I can't say specifically what you will have to do to set up or if it is automatic, depending on your equipment. For me, with two identical routers made by Asus, plugging in the second to the Extollo led to me going to the interface of my router and selecting to use the second router (which it picked up automatically) in "bridge mode". This led one SSID with no switching. It was, to use your example, "Otis" all over the house. That was true or the 2.4, the 5ghz and a guest .
I think this is what it comes down to. I guess I struggle with doing something like this myself.
Actually I dont really think it is stealing...Like I said, I pay $80/mo for DTV, and all I'm doing with Kodi is making channels I already pay for portable on weekends or when I go out of town.
Yeah we are still pretty happy with it. Cheaper and still has everything we want. Login for all the channel specific apps is a major plus.
Yup, I get your justification and it makes sense. I was just commenting on Kodi more broadly.
Definitely some things that take getting used to. No DVR is a bit of a bummer because my wife would DVR all kinds of stuff and now she has to wait for them to pop up On-Demand. The multiple streams isn't a huge deal since we can always switch a TV to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. It isn't very often that we're all trying to watch something different on TV. I don't mind the interface too much. My issue with watching through the FireTV is that I keep backing out of the app accidentally. If they can add DVR and NFL Network, I'll be really pleased with it.
AT&T’s streaming service DirecTV Now is getting cloud DVR, parental controls, and other features
I had read that over the weekend. Seems like they are starting to add stuff to it. NFL Network and RedZone are 2 big ones. If they get those, it'll be a game changer.
Thanks. I got an Extollo last week but only had one crack to try and set-up/configure it before heading out of town until next Wednesday.
I tried for years to get reliable streams that I paid for legitimately. (in addition to having my $10 streaming service) I never understood how a legitimate company couldn't produce a quality product that they were charging 2-3x as much for.
Thanks for posting this. I just checked, and it doesn't show up on mine yet but I'll continue checking
Did you run a system update? The article doesn't state it, but I wonder if that needs to be done to get it to show up.
I was able to find the channel but it wouldn't install for me. I got an error. Hopefully it works soon.
I disconnected a few years ago but had a similar situation, I think I got 2 return boxes and had 8 receivers, they said don't worry about it, we just want the 2 we sent boxes for.
I'm able to get this through Playstation Vue (Fox Sports North), i'm not sure if all markets are covered. It does cost $45/month but has a bunch of other channels as well. Baseball and RedZone are the only things that prevented me from cutting the cord to this point, and it looks like I can get both through Vue, although RedZone is in a higher tier package. It will still save me a ton over what I'm paying for cable.
