better than Roku?

of course, i have roku, you still have to pay for netflix etc, xmbc you dont pay for anything and you have over 100,000 movies easy with all the add ons, all sports channels including live pay per view, porn, live tv in united states and worldwide, just do a search on the coli, or even on google. pay 150 for a box and not even need cable anymore

You can stream almost all of those channels for free with a log in that shouldn't be hard to come by. Not worth $20 IMO.

It's very worth 20, the biggest tv service (direct tv) doesn't have espn streaming

So if everyone is using a login who's paying for the service

 

[jadillac]

y'all really complaining about $20 vs the alternative of $150+ cable/satellite bills of which you don't even watch 90% of the channels?

That's a great deal for even ESPN, ESPN 2 alone if you're a sports fan.

You get your college football, ur NBA playoffs/all-star game, MLB, NFL coverage.

If it works well, it's a great deal

What? I didn't say everyone was using a login, I'm saying if you are in the position where you have cut the cord, either by choice or not, you shouldn't have to resort to something like this. Grab a parent, sibling, or friends login.

The bad thing about Roku is you can't install xbmc. Unless I'm mistaken. I mean, there's a way to get root access now but I still can't find anyone who successfully installed xbmc. And I just did my research on this a few weeks ago, before deciding on the Fire TV.

I'm saying one of those people have to pay for the service. If every leeches who supplying? How is any service going to operate if everyone is looking for someone with a log in. No wonder you millennials come out of college with job prospects and 200k in debt

Where did I say no one should be paying for the service? Are you reading my post? Isn't it implied that if you can get access to a login, the person that owns the login is paying for the service?

With Amazon fire TV having this and hulu, netflix, and xbmc compatability then I'm copping a fire TV.

If there is a Sunday Ticket alternative and then I'll def cut the cord when that happens since Playstation Vue should be out by then to get the other cable networks. Until then, I'm waiting to jump

Don't know about sunday ticket. I got an iPhone so I watch sports in HD for free (Fire TV also does Airplay ).

I pay nothing for TV. Just internet. I currently have free trials for Prime and netflix. Haven't had the need to use either because of xbmc.

 

[Karume]

I am going to try their free trial. I'll answer questions about the service.

Don't pay attention to him, he believes cable teevee is still a good value in 2015.

Even if I were to get all the services individually and pay $200 it will be worth more than an old ass cable teevee subscription. Why? Because its flexible, I can watch it at work, I can travel and stream it on my devices. I can share it with my family, I can share it with my friends, I can share it with my neighbors.

My $200 stretches to about 5-6 different households if I want to and can travel with me across state lines. My old cable teevee package stays at home...can only be watched by me and my GF and was still $120+ per month. Do the math, it makes sense all across the board to go this new route.

He seems to be an older head who continues to stick with old business models as if they still make sense in 2015.

Cable TV?

I'm going to rock with this. The live streams on XBMC havent been reliable enough for me.
