I have been meaning to re position my DSL over to my media area. The house came with a phone line running into what is essentially a hallway outside my master bath which we put in ourselves. Sigh! another project.
Anyway, I seem to have had good luck with wireless so far out here. I live in the boonies, 7 minutes away from the Timewarner bldg. which DOESN’T offer services out here.
I must be close to a collocation/switch.
Awesome. Thanks!
I’m wondering about borrowing the playstation vue password, too.. my sister has one. It really DOES have everything, with no seizures.
Kodi is an open source home theater app that has add-ons that give you access to online content. Behind the scenes the streaming is done using bit torrent. Pretty much find anything that has ever been recorded.
I installed XTV through the Roku website, and then updated channels when I turned the set on.
It looks interesting. Sort of like your own free SlingTV etc.
Is there any particular content that you recommend?
yep I remember loading it on my raspberry pi. the ones we use at work run raspbian Jessie. I’m pretty rusty at my bash shelling.
sudo apt-get update :)
I love Virgin Radio (UK/US guitar ‘MTV’, *no* pop), Star5, FNC when it’s not seizing, Travel & Food channels (under UK), the movie collections (not the main ones which have been offline about a week while Mr. X finds a new server to host them), what are your interests?
We’ve ROKU here and until it was shared at FR, we were happy to get FNC on the X-TV private network ROKU offers at no charge
After the large inflow of viewers X tv has not been the best and their programmers are working on the glitches.
If and when X-TV eliminates the little critters in the system, this platform should offer everything you desire in your viewing capabilities.
Earlier this year you tubes were found to show how this is done. Might check my recorded history for those posts.
I just downloaded the PS Vue channel, too.

What type/ model antennae do you use...? Our outdoor one is not great
I used Sling for a couple of years and recently switched to Playstation Vue - much better.
I have a media room with a 55” flat panel and Amazon Firestick. Works great!
In another room, older 40” fp with Roku and Apple TV. Rarely use AppleTV (latest) as it is really flaky and hard to sync with anything. The V1.0 Apple TV worked better even if more limited.
Using Harmony to integrate all of these and use Amazon HD8 Fire (hacked to support Google Play apps) as a controller.
BOOKMARK
I have the latest Apple TV along with a Roku 4.
Both work great.

I am curious about this as I am tiring of Direct TV also. Pay for 300 channels to get the 10 or 15 I want.
I know Netflix, Hula and Amazon are streaming. Are VUE and the others also streaming? Any real time? Is there any kind of TV guide? How about recording for watching later and for zapping the commercials(my favorite feature)?
Any thoughts or guidance appreciated.

I’ve signed up for direct TV Now....a streaming service.....it’s excellent!
$35/mo and 60 channels including Fox News....HBO and Cinemax are only an additional $5/mo each if you want it....
You need to have Amazon Fire I think.....
Hahahahahaha!
