re: Updated Cord Cutting Thread | Compilation of Set-ups posted in post after OP

I have PSVue exclusively to watch the Pels and LSU football. For the 3rd time in the last ~6 Pels games, I missed large portions of the game because Vue was having server/high usage issues. Gonna give DTV Now a shot starting Friday. It looks like it's $10 cheaper and it looks like I get all of the same channels. Hopefully it works out, because I hate giving money to ATT.

Hello hello.

So not that I'm cord cutting, I'm going the opposite direction. I got a TV for the first time in 3 years this weekend and went ahead and got a fire stick. Cave man boudini is now going to be a normal human I suppose.

Now, I'm curious as to what (if any) streaming lineups are best for me?

Wants: Some locals (nbc/cbs/abc if possible), Golf Channel, travel channel, cnbc (for shark tank), food network and I suppose hgtv for the lady. Pretty much all I seem to think I would need. When a large sporting event is on, I guess ESPN, but frick them otherwise.

It seems Sling or Hulu live are my best bets, sling would probably be the full package for $40 which is the same as Hulu live.

I do have a netflix account, as well as amazon prime. So am I missing something between those two that would provide me with what I want?

Thanks for any help.

How do you watch a Pels game? Open up PSVue and go to fox sports southwest? I just signed up for PSVue Today, after cox tv& internet went from $167 to $230.

Okay thanks! Do you just log in to the Fox Sports app with the PSVue login info?

Also a word of warning with PSVue's DVR and Pels games. For some reason they stick to the 2 hour time slot, but they don't do it by cutting off early. They randomly cut part of other quarters. I guess that's better than missing the end but it still seems like just recording the whole game shouldn't be a big deal.

Good to know. Thanks. I’m not sure how much DVR I’ll be using.

Probably late to the game, but I just got USA IPTV, doing the 2 day trial at the moment and it has been great. Setting up with the PVR simple client is clutch as frick. $60 a year. I don't think i've seen a better price 500+ channels plus NBA league pass NFL Sunday ticket as well.

So how do you make a VPN work with something that's connected via Wifi like the FireTV stick?

I just added IPVanish to my FTVS. Got it figured out. Neptune Rising is the only repo that I've gotten to work with any degree of success, though, but that's questionable, too since the sources seem to freeze after a few minutes.

I use gears and limitless. Both are pretty legit.
