I finally got around to canceling AT&T TV Now, due to another price increase ($75/month). With the spotty servers and interface issues, it was time to go. I think they’re going to phase out eventually. They are no longer taking new subscribers according to their last email.

Not sure how this offer is directed, but YTTV is giving out free Chromecasts.
I suspect it's targeted at Roku owners who have YTTV because of their ongoing pissing match, but that's just my speculation. |

Not that it was cable related but I'm finally once again free of TWC (Spectrum)!
It was a fitting end that Windstream was able to get a technician out to set the house up for Gig faster than TWC was able to get a tech out to figure out why our internet has been out for the last 24+ hours |

I recently changed ISP's (from 100Mbps/5TB cap to 1Gbps fiber with no caps), but retained my original TV contract. But at around $180/month for really just basic cable and an "expanded," channel lineup with no HBO/cinemax or the like nor sports packages, finally am looking at YTTV or similar.
It seemed to me a few months back, that YTTV was pretty much the top streaming service to use for what's equivalent to what I have now, Is that still the case now? |

There are plenty of options, depending on what you need/want. I am using Sling, which has two options - Blue and Orange. I am very happy with the one I have. The only thing missing, especially now, during the Euro, is ESPN. |

Okay, I'm finally there.
With networks moving more shows solely to their stream platforms, and Comcast moving channels from regular cable to be only available via their streaming cable box, I recently griped to the wife about wondering why we even still have cable TV at this point. So she picked up a Firestick 4k for $20 on a good deal she saw. I've got Chromecasts, and looked at a Roku at other people's houses before. But never really spent enough couch time to get acquainted. Got the Firestick setup, added a couple of our existing subscriptions, a few more free services, and pulled up their guide. I already decided there was more live content I'd watch at that point than on cable. Got Kodi loaded, and probably going to set up Mame on it this weekend. About the last thing I miss is the DVR features. I've got a Synology NAS I could use, or I can plug in one of many old drives into my router for a dedicated DVR. What do you guys recommend? I'm not planning to subscribe to any of the pay streaming services with cloud DVR. |

What TV app you using? The Android Live TV app?
What other free TV apps you got? I use Pluto, and that covers my tv watching. You could also get a HDHomerun and set up the Live TV app to use it, works wonderfully. The problem I see with old spin drives is they will be on all of the time. I would rather get a cheap SSD drive and plug it to the router or NAS and use that. Use the NAS for storage? Sure. You might have to try it out to see if the NAS wakes up on time for recording. My 4 bay Synology takes a few seconds to wake up, and this might screw up with the scheduler for recording. |

Plex DVR integrates nicely with HD Homerun. HDDs shouldn't have any problem with sleeping/waking for recordings.

Launchbox is available on Android. 100 game free limit that's worth checking out.

Pluto definitely seems to have the most channels. I also have added IMDB, Plex, and Tubi. I've got a 500GB external drive that was plugged into my TiVo for years. It's made to hold up to years of constant DVR use. I'd love to dust that off, plug it into my router, and get some DVR functionality out of it. But it's not clear to me how to do that if it's even possible. I'd love to be able to look thru the Live TV guide and schedule things to record later. I'd even settle for just have a running 30min buffer of Live TV so I can pause it. Again, not sure if that is feasible. |
