re: I use to be a cord cutter (for a week)

antenna worked when it wanted to and half the time i couldn't catch cbs. the quality was spotty at best. this was after numerous set ups and different antennas i went through.

Did you ever figure out the issue? Antennas are pretty simple devices, so not sure why you had so much trouble.

then i tried kodi and that was a nightmare. stream works, stream doesn't work, exodus is down so download whatever else it was at the time. update this, update that. fix this code, download that code.

Kodi sucks. It is not the way or what I would point to as “cord cutting”. It’s a nice feature to have, but overly complicated and unreliable.

all the streaming services got more expensive and the interfaces sucked. data caps, no dvr, no sunday ticket, etc. i hated cutting the cord

Which service were you on? How much were you paying?

I pay $45/mo for PSVue, it’s interface is fine, has an unlimited cloud DVR, and access to CBS.

I was watching the game Saturday at a buddies house with DirectTV. There was a slight wind and light drizzle, and his feed kept freezing up. Missed at least 1 TD.

Streaming services are certainly different, but I don’t think they’re as complicated as many make it out to be. It actually simplified my setup a bit since now all my services are on one device (FireTV). It’s not the answer for everyone, it just deprends on what’s the most important.
