Widow Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Cut cable. Stream online. Get a box with Kodi. Never look back. Also, buy IPVanish if using Kodi, it is $50 a year. No need to get busted by you IP for illegally streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Also, buy IPVanish if using Kodi, it is $50 a year. No need to get busted by you IP for illegally streaming. I cut the cord almost a year ago and haven't had any issues without IPVanish. I know you can get busted for hosting, but didn't think streaming it was an issue.

ShowHBK Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Cut cable. Stream online. Get a box with Kodi. Never look back. ^ This... but with a twist... You say you have older TVs, I would recommend a RoKu stick or Chromecast if you are new to the world of streaming. Streaming sticks are a cheep way to stream media from your laptop, desktop, or tablet. I tend to shy new folks away from setting up Kodi, especially if they don't understand the setup process. I would recommend getting WoW internet over all else. WoW does not spy on you, throttle your connection, and their reliability is top notch. Best of luck streaming my friend!

Rally Pat Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I tend to shy new folks away from setting up Kodi, especially if they don't understand the setup process. My cousin's wife, who is not technically literate at all, setup Kodi on her Fire TV Stick on her own completely without me to help in about 10 minutes with just a YouTube video. If you can follow directions, you can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowHBK Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 If you can follow directions, you can do it. This is the part that scares me the most... Many people don't uncheck the boxes during installation that gives them plenty of free malware and changes their homepage. I feel ya though, if you are adventurous and can can read, I would take Kodi over many streaming options. I just feel like Firesticks, Chromecast, and Roku are a little more easy to just unbox, plugin, and setup over Kodi... if you kinda get what I mean. But yes, 100% to Kodi if you can get it setup and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hmmm. Didn't know all that. My uncle and aunt got some android box online somewhere already set up with Kodi and many more options. $60. They told my folks who paid just under $200 I think for a better box preloaded. They cut the cable/satellite and for about 8 months have been fine. But, as I said, it was all preloaded with Kodi and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
