    devices for steaming tv

    You can do XBMC with minimal knowledge of technology. If you can read you can be successful. There is a neat little device called a RaspberryPi. It is a micro computer a bit bigger than a deck of cards. They boot off of an SD card and can be set up to boot off an sd card and use a thumb drive...

    2 New to me IPTV boxes

    Once you set up KODI you then add various addons that provide the content you want to watch. There are several forums dedicated to KODI/XBMC: KODI, TVADDONS, TotalXBMC, OPENELEC.TV etc. I suggest you check out the forums and see if KODI is what you are looking for. It is Open Source so you...

    RaspberryPi

    So I have been looking at this little device. It appears that when configured with XBMC it would provide all,the streaming capability that a person might need, to include AirPlay. Complete set ups are available on eBay for $89.00 and up. Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    Senator Rockefeller unveils Over the Top video reform bill

    Depending on how you look at streaming, you can legally stream both TNT and TBS, live feeds from both east and west, as long as you have an account with certain pay TV services. Although I'm thinking what your comment really means is that any one can legally stream regardless of their already...

    Play On worth it?

    I would say its not worth it. Most of the content that works is available on the ROKU, most of the third party apps are horrible and don't work at all. I have been very disappointed, playon has not lived up to the hype. Ross Sent via Tapatalk

    Found this cord cutting article

    True but the major reason folks cut the cord is the cost of pay TV and the lack of programming. MLB.TV costs about $130.00 a season, roughly $20.00 a month. Not bad, but I don't want to watch the Red Sox on delay. And he point of cutting the cord, for us, was economics as well as...

    Private Channels on Roku

    IMHO Roku is not quite ready to 100% replace cable or satilite. There is no streaming local news and no 24 hour streaming national news. However if you have OTA it could easily eliminate the need for sat or cable...depending on your viewing habits/needs. There seems to be more than enough free...
