Quote:I've done some research on this. I'd love to cut the cord but I like my sports, the wife likes her movies and the kids like their children shows and movies. At one point in time I cut the cord so to speak. I got a VPN and a box with Kodi app on it. From there, you can program that app to watch whatever your little heart desires. When I say "whatever your little heart desires", I mean you can watch live sporting events, all the premium stuff, all the cable/satellite channels, all the channels that are out there in the World! Not just US stuff. If it's broadcasted you can watch it. Supposedly, when they fine/arrest people for pirating, they arrest those who distribute, not so much watch. Hence why I went the VPN route. That being said, I resumed my satellite subscription. With the acces I had to every channel imaginable it just seemed way too shady for my liking. Not to mention there was a lot of adult content. Yes I can keep tabs of my kids and make sure they don't watch it, but my bigger fear was what sort of adult content would be available. Obviously this route isn't legal. But, I sure as hell didn't want to have acces to the adult stuff that could possibly have children involved. Whether it did or not, IDK. But I sure as hell wasn't going to find out. So in other words, I was either, too scared to continue or too smart to continue with or without the VPN. If you or others go, or have gone this route, I'd like the feedback on your experiences.

Yep that's your best bet. You can watch whatever you like if you know what you're doing. And I'd you don't there are hundreds of YouTube videos posted to walk you through setting up your Kodi box. I use Kodi on occasion when I can't find what I'm looking for thru Comcast ( or when I don't want to pay for it.. ) and have it on my phone as well so I can watch certain live events if I'm on the go. It's definitely shady though and probably not the best route to go if you want to stay on the right side of the law.


There are plenty of other legal alternatives out there like Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Amazon fire stick, and Google Chromecast just to name a few. Get you a Chromecast and a couple of apps on your phone/tablet/laptop and you're good to go.
