KUGRDON Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Cut the cord. I recently bought a fire TV recast which allows me to record over the air stations. I also bought a fire cube to access various streaming services. I mostly watch over the air broadcast, especially PBS programming, and a lot of CNN as background. I currently have just the free services like fire recast, free sea, Hulu, Pluto TV and Roku. So I get the PBS channels that I want and I get the local news stations OTA and the odds sitcom that I will watch on network TV. Remember I can record anything OTA. The holes in My programming are live CNN and sports. I can pick up live CNN, all of the ESPN channels, fox sports, mlb and Pac 12 network for the $40 orange sling subscription with an $11 sports package add-on total $51 a month. That doesn’t seem too bad (equivalent service on Dish was $122). I only have to have sling orange during football season so my tv will be nearly free the rest of the year. Savings about &1000 1 year. Any suggestions? I might try out the orange sling service during pac 12 tourney and march madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you also get Amazon Prime ( we had it for free shipping, streaming is a bonus ), Several good series have been on that, I get Paramount + for free with my subscription to 247 sports. Has all the Taylor Sheridan shows, as well as all Star Trek series. I get Peacock for free with Comcast Internet ( had to get their streaming box, which is free, but never set it up ). Also have Youtube app on the firestick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastFan Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Two insiders in two ADs who are unhappy with George's proposed deal. We're close to an edge unless something better comes out of South of Market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 How about this for random: Pete Maravich’s NCAA career scoring record (3,667 pts for 44.2 ppg) still stands after 53 years. Do you find this as amazing as I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have Youtube app on the firestick. I just found wsu livestream by using the internet app on my tv. Watching WSU v Oregon baseball now. I had no idea this existed. The cutting the cord experiment could not be going better. My Dish bill was $120 a month including sports add on. Post cord cutting I subscribed to Sling Orange $40, Orange sports add on $10, PBS $5 for $55 a month. Have Hulu, Prime, Paramount, Netflix free from relatives or some promo (Walmart delivery gives me Paramount). All the content I want and saving little over $70 a month. Will be a little cheaper in April because I can drop Orange Sports add on. If Padres and Mariners get interesting I can add something to watch them. I guess I have MLB in my Sling Sports package so I’ll be able to get some Mariners and Padre games there. Still learning lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
