5 million U.S. households bid TV goodbye

[Morph]

fukk watching big games on a computer stream

Some, or most big games (playoffs, superbowl, world series, nba finals, etc) are on regular broadcast TV, and their HD channels are over the air too (1080i). All you need is a decent antenna.

Obviously MNF etc are on ESPN and it sucks streaming MNF when 10 million other people are on that same stream.

You may have a couple hundred channels, I have thousands for free -

HBO China my dude....

You mentioned TMZ?

I just think it's silly to waste money and look down on others when there alternatives. I have a dedicated HTPC that sits under the TV that you can control with a remote

yeah im the real dumbass when im getting a much better picture than you. have fun with your crappy $4 cords made of chinese plastic and twine while i experience the good shyt. im the type of guy Best Buy loves when they see me walk in the door because they know i have taste and am not cheap. i deck all my gear out. if i was you id keep a fire eckstingwisher next to your tv between the shytty cables and extra heat from having to run off a laptop to get your feed your probably at fire risk.smh

i dont get why this thread is turning on me over owning fukking cable. its really ridiculous you fukking guys are living in the stone age simple as that. its pathetic

Depends on the host channel, some have HD live feeds, some don't. That's also a list within a list, there are 96 Live TV feeds on that specific channel, this is the main list -

NFL network -

There are a ton of HD movie channels -

Why pay for cable when I can just use 1channel?

As for Movies, I do download those just for the 1080p & 720p rips

If you have a fast connection getting cable is fukking pointless.

Downloads | XBMC



1channel add-on
1Channel Addon Repository | XBMC HUB


Once you've installed XBMC, download the 1channel zip file and save it to your desktop so you can find it easier. Then, open up XBMC, go to System > Add on > install from zip and select the 1channel add on which is on your desktop. It will install it and then you can add 1channel button to your menu bar in XBMC like this -

(NBA news RSS feed )

I use 1channel primarily for TV shows, and once you get the hang of it you find out which links stream the best (Sockshare, Gorillavid, Daclips by far).

NAVI-X is more for Live TV (or movies) you install it the same way as 1channel. When you want to find movies, tv shows and what not you go through the first option in the menu which is "Media portal". After that you can choose the Navi-X networks, or user hosted channels which are great.

I'd recommend getting an HD antenna if your building doesn't have one, that way you can get all the local channels if you want, and you can even run them through XBMC if you get a tuner card and turn your PC into a DVR.

I been watching Married with Children lately on 1channel, the have the whole series on there. Back when Megaupload was still up they had literally every last show you can think of on there and they were all supported in 720p or 1080p and streamed as fast as Netflix if you had a mega account. I hate what they did to my nikka Kim Xbmc + icefilms + megaupload....it was an unfukkwittable combo.

Canceled my cable as soon as football season ended.

When these companies gonna start offering a la carte cable anyway?

I think its cheaper the way it is now.
