Kodi is completely unreliable for me, I quit bothering after about a week of trying it.
Welcome to Web TV, cord-cutters. Don't forget your credit card
Combine the price of connectivity with subscription fees for online video services, and the total tab quickly vaults over the average cost of pay-TV.
Breaking down prices of online options shows that those reviled cable and satellite companies still tend to provide more bang for each buck.

Weird. The word "antenna" doesn't show up once and that's the cheapest way to get braodcast channels.Quote:

Eh, I get stations all the way from Waxahachie with mine, but KBVO is dicey at best. It varies by location. Make sure you use an honest to goodness directional antenna before trying to shit on it tho.Quote:

Get on their ass, demand credit for their shitty ass service too. I've raised hell with TWC to the point where I was assigned a personal complaint handler with a direct line for any issues.Quote:

Plex works with Roku too which is a plus for me.
Damn you didn't see the threads in the Tech forum about PLEX? That shit is awesome, turns your media collection into a good version of Netflix.Quote:

PS3 Media Server works just fine so I'll continue using that.
What add-on have you found to have the best quality streams?Quote:
