Cord Cutters how do you watch?

[glidedrxlr22]

I'll be cutting my cable soon. They keep jacking up the prices. Aside from cabletv, my viewing set up is Fire TV device with free viewing apps like Pluto and Tubi. My paid services are Netflix and Amazon Prime. I also use Cinema and CatMouse apks, with Real Debrid, for streaming shows and movies. I'm currently also trying out Gears Reloaded iptv.

What do you guys use?

[AirBonner]

You only really need Hulu,Netflix amazon prime. If you need more tv than that then you should be re-evaluating life

[ItsMillerTime]

Fire TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Cinema HD, Pluto, etc.

Reddit for sports links

[Meticode]

Just YouTube TV here.

[Facepalm]

HD antenna, amazon prime, netflix, and fire tv + morpheus for any other show or movie I want to watch. You can also use the Ola app for free live TV

[REACTION]

YouTube TV for live sports and news.

personal Plex server for everything else.

[Duderonomy]

Tubi is pretty good.
Been watching the A-Team on there.

[bladefd]

Iptv for live sports/tv (private iptv service called smoothstreams, invites are currently closed), and stream movies/tv shows using realdebrid on TVzion app..

Costs about $20/m so certainly not free. Sometimes unstable too..

I have amazon prime and Netflix even though probably unnecessary.

same here.hopefully google does not change the price on us again. 50 is probably the max I will pay.

I never understand how to get IPTV to work. Shit baffles me tbh

Honestly, Netflix and combination of Hulu (which I don’t have) but should be all someone needs unless you watch sports, Reddit streams are available.

Paying for cable sucks. I have spectrum and it’s trash compared to Fios even tv quality wise but they jack prices up monthly no fcks given idk how they get away with it. Spectrum needs to step up the quality of their shit. Even the internet disconnects from my device and I have to reconnect constantly

i'm considering getting youtube live or hulu live. reddit streams for suns game keep freezing too much. i switch to a different one and the same thing happens. too many people using the same couple of streams and they're crashing way too much, makes the games unwatchable.

Apparently, NBA will be releasing a live streaming app like Netflix. Not sure if they will stream only local games, certain pre-chosen games each night or every game excluding blackout games

that sounds cool but i'm guessing their deals with tnt and other networks would prevent them from showing local games.

Also depends on how much it costs lol

They'd be perfect if they carried the History Channel and Paramount Network.

[asd]

YouTube tv, YouTube premium, netflix

[qrich]

Amazon Prime included for free.

Hulu: $5.99
DaZn: $4.99
ESPN+: $5 (About to get Disney Plus since it's a whopping buck more than Hulu & ESPN)

Then, for sports, the Dofu App is lovely. Also www.nba4free.com is always on point.

Also use my brothers Spectrum log in to catch Clipper games and catch stuff on the Spectrum TV app for more live shows.

[CelticBaller]

Cheap internet is like $40 a month up here. Disney + bundle(comes with ESPN and Hulu) is like 12.99 a month

That is way better than cable

[rufuspaul]

Youtube TV, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go

Hulu bumping up charges for 2nd time this year. Pretty soon, streaming apps will be just as expensive as cable tv :facepalm

everyone was claiming this several years back when all these networks publicly announced plans for their own platforms. they all saw Netflix succeed and wanted their share of the pie.

back to square 1. the only positive thing is we're getting more higher quality television.

although HBO has to step up it's streaming quality. they compress the shit out of their content. they're easily the worst quality out of all the platforms. they dropped the ball with that GOT episode where we couldn't see jackshit during the dark scenes, all because they compress heavily. can't believe they stream great shows at such a terrible compression rate.

They should all use H.265. Compresses nicely but keeps its very good quality.

I thought you can get any channel you want on a good IPTV service (pay, not those crappy free ones)? The only live TV I ever watch is sports and the iptv service I have covers that. Everything else I download and cast to my shield tv. It doesn't take long to DL each show.

are the channels in HD? how often do you experience buffering/stuttering?

Is IPTV good? Can the Lakers sign him?

Definitely HD. I wouldn't watch anything in SD anymore, except maybe an old show that they don't have in HD. All the sports are in HD. As for buffering, it's usually good not much of that but it isn't 100%. I remember last month it was pretty rough, I had to watch my sports in browsers. But it's been great again for a few weeks. Watch all the football you want, the key is finding out if your game is on fox or cbs and it gives you so many different cities local channels.

All in all, $5 a month is totally worth it. Coffee costs that much :lol

It's HD but it's more compressed than a legal service. I can definitely tell the difference between Youtube TV and a $10 IPTV sub.

AKA live247.tv been with them over 10 years now. :cheers:

I'll probablay still keep it becuase it would still be way less than what Spectrum would charge us after a year of having Internet+TV.

For the first year Internet+TV was $99. Then after the year when the discount fell off it jumped up to like $173 per month. I dumped it.

I tried Playstation Vue, it was solid. Had that for a year. Then when YouTube TV finally got my local channels to stream I switched over, and have had YouTube TV for about 9-12 months. Ironically Playstation Vue is ending in a few months because Sony is losing money on it apparently.

I went with YoutubTV because they have all the college sports I want to see (ACC, SEC, Big 10) and I get Panthers and Hornets games. The unlimited cloud DVR is nice also.
