Funny the wife and I were saying the same thing... neither of us have missed a thing since we switched. We do cheat a bit because I use the in law's password for the watch ESPN app but otherwise things really haven't been that different.
I read recently that they've lost over 3 million subscribers in the past year. Some of it's cord cutters, but most of it is cable customers downgrading to a basic cable package without ESPN.
First install (sideload) kodi using this guide:
I believe it. They've gone too far with the "entertainment" part of the network and it's become tired schtick. I used to be the guy who would watch the same sportscenter episode for 3 hours, now I can't stand any of it.
That second video is out of date a little bit. If you can add from zip addoninstaller it will be available under program apps and you can add others like shopping in an app store. Also that video says sportsdevil isn't available anymore and it is. However it's not in the "addoninstaller store" so you'll have to add it from zip too. Once you do it will be available under video apps.
The streams do break/get clogged due to the leagues shutting them down or users hammering the streams, just like they would on your PC/Mac as the app just scrapes the data for these feeds and plays it on your TV via whatever device you are using to run Kodi.
An app on Kodi that lets you stream sports events from around the world. That includes FirstRowSports streams without the ads/malware.Good Posting Judge said:
The shortcuts are simple, you just assign them under settings. I haven't found the live sports to be good quality either HD. But the movies and shows are fine.
I still don't really know what MyGica is. Is there a difference from having this or a Chromecast/Roku combination, other than it might have a faster processor & better WiFi connection? I'm not considering it yet, but that Android Lollipop set top box looks pretty beast. No complaints with my OTA/Roku/Chromecast set up so far. Just curious what the real benefits of a MyGica box are. Can anyone elaborate?
You can go legit or free. You're paying for legit, but it's still skirting the rules.
You can do it on your router by redirecting all DNS requests to whatever DNS you have set on your router. If your router doesn't provide that feature natively then it can get hairy involving adding some iptable lines of code or replacing the factory firmware to switch to an opensource firmware.
There are APK files out there for VPN apps that you could theoretically side-load. OpenVPN for example. I have not tried this and have no idea if it works on the firestick or not. My VPN service has support for OpenVPN so I guess I could try it out for you if you are interested in or already have a VPN service.
I have iMessage disabled. Half of my texts incoming and outgoing never make it through with that crap. I'm stuck with the iphone because the company I work for is dumb and that's the default device they pay for.
Sorry, but had to comment on this, as I recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active from an iPhone. After spending hours on multiple sites (and remote killing my iMessage service) and 30 mins on the phone with Apple Care, I was informed that I may not receive text messages from iMessage users for up to the next 45 days, short of mass emailing anyone I know who texts me on an even semi-regular basis with iMessage to "...do these 2-3 steps to message me!"

My wife is going through a lot of the same thing. I don't want to turn this into a Google-fanboy vs. Apple-fanboy argument, things might change, but I would hate having to use iOS.

This guide is a couple years old, so hopefully it's been made simpler and better since then. I haven't tried doing it yet.
Which cell service do you have?
Even if the primary purpose of Amazon Prime isn't the streaming, is there really that much more on Netflix that makes it worthwhile to have both?
