You rare a real firecracker, are you not?
You’ve seen only a fraction of the streaming apps
available. Not here to argue or fight, just offered
an alternative to your dilemma. Do with it what you
please Ask other users what they think, how they would rate this service. Do your own investigation and come to your
own conclusion. Then, you might have acquired enough smarts to carry on an intelligent conversation with less “attitude”.

[Houserino]

The Roku apps are links to paid sub channels.

All I’ve seen of free streaming services on this channel are pirate services.

If that’s ‘firecracker’ oh well.

Ala Carte is where it is at.
You need a pc to get the app easily.

I use a ROKU box that is plugged into my tv set. I have a network cable from there that goes back to my Motorola MG8702 cable modem/router. You can buy a router separately if you cable modem does not include one. ROKU box I have https://www.roku.com/products/roku-ultra

I have been watching the FREE Pluto tv channel. They have every older show from 1950’s to maybe 10 years ago. https://pluto.tv/en/live-tv/johnny-carson-tv

Well, my contract with Direct TV expired about a decade ago LOL. I still have the old basic no thrills receivers they are saying they will soon stop using. I’ve been thinking about DISH NET as it is my only other option because I am on satellite Internet which is my only option for internet service. No DSL, No Cable {COMMIECAST wants $15K to run 5 pole spans} and no reliable cell towers. Direct TV last I heard is owned by AT&T that says a lot too. They have crappy landline service now as well so I shut that off a couple years ago. Landline ariel feeding my road has been laying on the ground with the wires exposed since Jan 1 2019.And my AT&T stock is losing money also over the past 4 years.

Have you looked into Starlink? It might get you access to:

https://usnewson.com/

Which may get you access to some live news services. Starlink won’t be cheap soon, but it’ll be you very broadband for now.

[Houserino]

Starlink at www.starlink.com is $550 down with fees, but will give you 400bs up/down and will get better and cheaper with time.

[cva66snipe]

I’ll check. Thanks

[Houserino]

Sadly, they’re still launching sats. I dunno if it’ll be available this year or next or not. But it should be the best choice for rural people in the next decade+

[fireman15]

Yeah, piratebay and all. But to legally stream on channels, you pretty much have to pay for a sub.

I provided a link and if you followed it you would have found that it was directly to OAN’s KlowdTV.

https://www.klowdtv.com/package.ktv?package=freeoannTrump

Between paid Prime and Amazon Channels, SlingTV, Showtime, Netflix, Starz... etc... we pay almost as much as we would to cable, but we have access to more content that is tailored to what we want to watch and we have two houses that we use FireTV boxes at.

It does sound like you are a pretty sophisticated video thief... but for us the effort is not worth the trouble. And you should probably be more careful. Going to pirate sources is a good way to get computer viruses and expose yourself to ransomware, etc...

There's pluto.net, but that has only a few channels.

I guess no one told you that there are many legit sources with lots of on demand and live channels other than Pluto that are add supported. But Pluto does have around 250 channels these days.

[Houserino]

Thanks for the link. It’s a little bit convoluted right now on what’s really ‘legit’ to me and what’s just ad supported.

I saw the klowdtv link elsewhere and it seemed like a non-official source, which may lead to the malware thing. If not, then good.

[Ymani Cricket]

interesting timing

OAN to provide live coverage of President Trump’s ‘Save America’ rally in Ariz. on Jan. 15th

[V K Lee]

Should OAN not be available for viewing this most spectacular
event, run over to RSBN and download their app. Rally will be found on this network. And, yes, the timing is suspicious.
DS characters will have a cow when DJT brings his own platform on line, Feb 21. What atrocities will we see at that time?

[FroggyTheGremlim]

FIOS (Verizon) carries OAN, at least in our area, Pittsburgh.

[gattaca]

More censorship.

[ronnie raygun]

stupidity still prevelant

[RebelTXRose]

Shouldve seen the DTV lady at Costco trying to get us to waste some time with her last night. She couldn’t even stand by a DTV sign.

I just said NO.

[Dacula]

I have to go to SAMS Club today, there is always a DirectTV sales table at the entrance. I will wear my OAN t-shirt and tell them why I am not interested.

[fireman15]

I am sorry that I misunderstood what you were trying to say. You are correct to be very cautious about who you trust when it comes to subscribing to various services.

I saw the klowdtv link elsewhere and it seemed like a non-official source, which may lead to the malware thing. If not, then good.

One America News Network is owned by Herring Networks. KlowdTV is owned by Herring Networks. If you want to support OAN the best way to do that is to do that is to subscribe to one of the plans available from KlowdTV. They are currently in their infancy and some of the “channels” available are a little bit hokey at this point, and the features keep changing and are a little confusing. I checked our account just now and we are paying $2.50 a month for the same 64 channels that they are currently in their free account. I don't know that there are any other differences...

Basically, all of the subscription services have specials. We are currently getting every Amazon Prime premium “channel” that we are subscribing to for $1 a month for two months. I turn off auto renewal as soon as the specials are up, and usually some other specials become available. We got 6 months for Starz for $20. We turn off autorenewal on that before the special is up. Showtime had a similar deal. The ad supported Hulu is a dollar a month for a year. Since the lineup on the premium channels does not change that much, I like subscribing to them for a month or two while they are having a special, I drop them and coming back when they have another good special.

[Houserino]

It’s still not totally ‘free’ though to stream. I can with my FIOS sub. But you have to pay. That was my only point and I believe that’s been proven.

[fireman15]

We started out streaming when DirecTV Now first became available in 2016. It offered basically all of the channels we were getting in the package from Comcast for less money and we were able to watch them at both of our houses without paying twice. They gave away AppleTV or FireTV streaming devices depending on how many months you signed up for initially and the premium services that you subscribed to.

I believe that our package with HBO, TCM, and a few other premium services was $45 a month and it was advertised that the price was not going to go up if you got in early. We subscribed the first day it became available to the public. The service was unreliable compared to Cable, but not too bad and they began offering limited DVR services.

When AT&T took over and the price was jacked up every couple of months until it cost us over $80 a month, about as much as Cable except that we could watch at both of our houses without paying twice.

But then AT&T Now became available for $19.95 a month which had many fewer channels and no DVR service, but it still had our favorite TCM, the FOX channels and Hallmark, etc... We had our own DVR type device that we could record the stream from so that was not a huge issue for us. The constantly improving Audials recording program became available at about that time as well. But that AT&T Now was discontinued by because so many of their legacy subscribers who had come from DirecTV were switching to their own competing service.

After AT&T now was discontinued, we switched to SlingTV which had many bundles and was quite customizable... for our cable type watching experience. We are currently paying $55 a month for SlingTV but our plan has a ridiculous number of channels, generous DVR features that work well and it can be streamed to 3 devices at the same time, so we share it with my parents. And what is not included we get through other providers such as Amazon and also directly from the premium channels themselves such as HBO, Starz, Showtime, etc...
