omar4 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I cut the cord last fall and couldn't be happier. I'm saving $120 a month and drinking more beer😍 I bought the same Yagi antenna mentioned above for the networks, used the pole left from DirectTV and the same coax and splitter to hook up 2 tv's, took about 1/2 hr. I ordered an Amazon Fire stick for $30 w/remote and loaded KODI. I can watch anything I want live, on-demand, PPV literally ANYTHING FOR FREE!!! Right now I'm streaming the Golf Channel in HD and watching the NCAA Mens Golf and having a beer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 How far do you live from the network affiliates broadcast stations and what type of terrain? Do you get better sports channels than golf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar4 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I can watch anything I want, sports, movies, tv shows, PPV Boxing and UFC, NFL,NBA, MLB you name it. Most is 2.0, but sounds fine through my Cornwall II's. Basically, you are streaming everything, so, all you need is internet. The farthest channel I get is 50miles away and pretty flat terrain. I really don't watch my local channels much, cuz when I'm streaming they cut the commercials too. I call it ON DEMAND. Google KODI and check it out, didn't take long to download it on my fire stick. People are charging $50 to download it for you and I did it for my sister's friend for a six pack of beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks. I need to do something and spectrum is a past nightmare for me. Maybe get a faster fios internet and ditch the rest for how you do it. The only drawback might be the antenna part, never had much luck where I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on a contract though, and that would be my out if they destroy the on-demand content or everything MAGA that we value here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar4 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Well, after having and enjoying my free TV for several months it finally dawned on me that I could plug it directly into my AVR to get 5.1 instead of 2.0 when it was plugged into the tv. Yep, I'm a little slow, but happier now!😌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
