Is CBS all access the only app for streaming CBS? I know channels like NBC have apps where you can watch it's shows after they air on the roku or whatever. All I can find is All Access for CBS, which you have to pay for. Is this all they offer? Or am I missing another app somewhere?

That's just how CBS is. They think they can be a stand alone pay service. I haven't checked in a while but you used to be able to stream some shows like BBT free on their website. I guess if they were popular enough to be just ad supported.

Damn that's what I figured. I was hoping they had something because I watch Big Brother, which starts soon. I can't always catch it live. I don't have any cable service, and just stream. Was going to get an HDMI antenna for football season, but that doesnt help me with big brother if I can't catch it live.

Yeah, nothing in that thread makes any sense to me.

You could with Survivor this past season. Once the live show ended though, you could only watch it on the All Access app.

If it's for Big Brother then CBS All Access is worth it. You'll get access to the live streams as well as any episodes you missed.

Yeah. I'm thinking that this is the route I will go. Was just making sure there wasn't something else out there I was missing.

It's also probably the most difficult app to cancel the subscription to. They make it tough to stop paying them.

Just remember come college football and March madness that games on CBS won't play unless, again, you have the All Access app .... EXCEPT, they will play on the CBS Sports App on your phone that you can then AirPlay to your Apple TV.

So basically if you have an apple set up, don't pay for CBS All Access just for sports. Just AirPlay them from the CBS sports app on your phone. That's what I did for March Madness this year.

Just get an antenna. I set up an antenna at my moms house and she catches of of the big 4 channels. you will have no issue if you're pointing the antenna north. If your TV isn't on a north wall and your HD antenna can't get to a north wall, you'll probably have issues catching the one channel you want.. CBS. That station is a POS to grab

CBS All Access sucks, for what it's worth. Watching Big Brother on there was a shite show. The live feeds aren't that easy to move through, either. Also.. unless they changed their damn thought process, they spoil the episode in the damn show link.
