What are y'all using for live sports? Sports Devil is entirely worthless right now. Downloaded "Pro Sport" a few minutes ago and having no luck.

I have a Roku stick and have no problem accessing Amazon Prime Video but my boyfriend has Chromecast and uses his Iphone to cast but he can't get to Amazon Prime video. Is this fixable?

So using a Tablo basically gives you a DVR for OTA and makes it so you don't have to run coax to the other tv's in your house from your antenna correct?? Seems kinda expensive for only providing that.



I don't see why it's needed.
It's simply just to record shows on local stations. If you have Vue, they have ondemand for all major networks except CBS, and in BR they just got WAFB live so you can record CBS shows now.
Having Hulu is basically the same thing, without CBS, as far as watching shows from the major networks.
Having Kodi nullifies all of that and you watch whatever you want whenever you want, for free.

Tablo (or Tivo, or whatever) isn't needed if you're just watching shows, but it's nice to have for live events (sports) if Vue (or DTV Now, or whatever) doesn't have your locals.

I hesitated on buying the Tablo for a long time, because it is a nice chunk of money up front (maybe $400 when it's all said and done). But after having it through a football season, I'd say it's paid for itself already. It's also nice to have the local news sometimes, especially during that crazy summer we had.

Agree completely and since the Tablo records I find it easier to record locals and watch later vs finding them on Kodi when I have the time. To each their on on that tho I guess.

I cut the cord with just a couple weeks left in the regular season and was glad I made the Tablo purchase for this reason alone.

It certainly isn't for everyone but for me and my needs it fits perfect

Welp, buying a 4th gen Apple TV and starting a PS Vue trial. All goes well I will soon be kissing U-verse tv goodbye.

Finally cut the cord and I'm running PS Vue and OTA antenna, Netflix, etc.

Is WBRZ broadcasting OTA right now? It's the only local channel I can't pickup. I am catching WAFB which is VHF also no problem.

Anyone have a link to install kodi on firestick that actually works? I've tried several YouTube videos that are instructions on 16.1 but 17 automatically installs and I get all jacked up.

Yeah. I actually got 17 installed now. I just need to learn the processes of adding and removing sources and repos... this is all new to me.
