Doing the free trial with Hulu now. Does what I need.

Many people may not be aware of this service:

Haven’t tried it yet, but will likely sign up to a package soon. My internet guy said you can watch movies that aren’t at the theater yet... not sure on the channels, but says 2000+.

I’ve been using beast for a couple of months and it’s legit. 15 bucks a month.

I don’t but you can. I will turn on the VPN if it buffers, but it’s pretty stable. 4 connections, 2 IPs, 15 bucks.

I purchased a one month subscription to beast last night. It's awesome.

My question is about billing. Do I have to renew each month or is it auto renew?

You can set it up to auto renew or pay it each month. I paid for 6 months at a time. Saved a few bucks, not that it matters at that price.

I'm interested in your thoughts on this. We're considering cutting the cord when we move (meaning getting rid of DirecTV) and looking for viable options. I watch sports, History Channel, Discovery, ESPN, and NatGeo. The Mrs. watches Bravo, HGTV, and TLC.

AFtigerFan, just be careful if you like watching anything on SECN+, such as LSU baseball games. Unless you pay for ESPN through some sort of provider, such as DirecTV, Hulu Live TV, Youtube TV, etc. you will not get SECN+. I have a premium IPTV and I pay for ESPN+,so even though I get all of the ESPN channels, I can't get SECN+.

Install Mobdro apk on your smart tv for free for free cable
Install the cat mouse apk for free movies

Or install Exodus apk live tv for 5.99 a month and it covers 5 rooms
All are simple installments

I get every channel you’ve mentioned plus an infinite amount more. I am a sports and history guy and my spirts section will make you blush. Not only do I have SEC and SEC+, but I also have pac-12, big-10, ACC, longhorn, CBS sports, NBC sports, every fox sports, every ESPN, etc. I get literally every sporting event that’s broadcasted.

Also invest in a Nvidia Shield to put everything on because you want the top of the line!
If you have a fire stick it's like a Ford Taurus on the car line with Nvidia Shield being a Tesla

Definitely run the shield pro. You are paying a bit more for equipment, but you are saving a ton on TV, and the quality of said equipment is far superior.

Can someone tell me a list of streaming services that stream in DD 5.1?

I had at&t TV since day 1 when it was drtv now.

They pissed me off and the account got screwed up and canceled. I was "grandfathered" in and was currently paying 65 for go big + hbo.

They will not let me have that package back and want to charge 85 or 125 is I didn't decide to reactivate it right now...fuk them.

I listen to everything via my 9.1 HT system so it has to be in 5.1 or im not interested. Anyone have a list like that?

The shield pro converts to 5.1. I run a 5.1 sonos system and have no problems.

If you are a serious audiophile, it may not be to your liking, but it’s a 15 dollar experiment to potentially save thousands.

I run it through my Denon receiver so it can convert 2.0 to a semi surround but it just doesn’t sound as good as when it starts out as a 5.1 (obviously). It’s not a huge issue I guess since most “movies” I watch I stream from a source that has them in 5.1. I’m just trying to see who has what.

I have 4 18’s behind my sofa for reference

If the stream is 5.1, the Nvidia will be 5.1. The shield is legit. I would pair it with something like beast and realdebrid.

I'm running a Plex server off my Mac Mini to all my tvs. Two Sony 4K HDR 10/ Dolby Vision and TCL 6 series which is HDR 10 DV. They all have Firestick 4ks and one has a firestick 4k and xbox one s.

I'm trying to talk myself into getting a Nvidia Shield TV Pro to play around with. I know it's a better machine but what other benefits are there? I run Plex, Youtube TV, Beast IP TV and most other streaming apps.
