Better then basic cable because you legit get the most important channels. Plus if you a sports fan you get a gang of channels like big ten, Sec, every ESPN/Fox Sports. But the major selling point is no locked in contract, no rental fees or stupid city/county/state taxes. Lots more on demand shows.(Lots of good movies and shows like Atlanta)Unlimited free cloud storage to save shows up to thirty days. I mean nothing beats the free like Kodi but that shyt is annoying to be constantly updating, adding-on, and dealing with the bloat. Plus like I said earlier, not a fan of 480i sports viewing. I'm an advocate for this like my Madame Trillary Hot Rodham Winton

Nah, I missed you elaborating on your point.

40 dollars is getting me a Fire Stick and HD Sports on reliable streams?

If you have an Apple product (phone/ipad) you can get HD quality streams from both NFL pass and the League pass. These can be streamed to your TV via chromecast I believe (or maybe fire tv)

With that "HD" bullshyt, guess your logic wins. If you would rather pay $40 a month then nikka just get cable. I don't understand. I know everybody has a preference but that's just asinine

Reliability ain't a issue if you set up Kodi right to begin with. I already pay for internet so ima just keep using my 4 Firesticks. fukk i look like paying monthly just for HD streams? Ain't like the streams are pixelated or something on most sources

Because with cable, I'll have to pay for the equipment every month. And that ranges from 7 to 10 bucks per box. I have 3 HDTVs, a 40in, a 55in, and a 70in, so just to get HD feeds with cable, I would have to play 21-30 dollars just for the boxes in each room. Where as with Vue, there are no fees. I'm not watching standard or non-HD content on my TVs, period. I still know how to get to free streams, but the quality isn't good enough to be streaming to TVs of my size. It'll look like shyt, and a lot of the steams aren't in 60fps so it looks laggy.

Don't you need some kind of VPN set up for that shyt to work though?

Cable is more expensive than 40 a month

I am not running any VPN set up. I am using a british itunes account for the NFL games though. I had to create a fake itunes account to make it work.

There's definitely a ton of garbage sources on there. You enjoy your free trash quality service that's cool, but don't pretend the experience is anything even remotely close to what you get with Netflix, Hulu, or HBO go.
