Cutting the Cord from Cable company

[colorider]

Once in a while you get a feed that is poor quality. Just find a better feed. There are several feeds available for each channel or show. Im still in the learning phase of finding out all the things the box can do. I'm only using about 40% of its potential. I have found a few reliable and easy apps and have not tried the numerous others.

Go to your local RadioShack for an HD antenna around $30-$50. Then get yourself a ROKU streaming device. Buh-bye comcast.

Cancel it and forget it. Get hulu and netflix and simplify your life.

Have Netflix I want up to date shows. Tries the trial of hulu and it was just sending me to discovery channel.com or history channel.com and I still could watch up to date shows.

Build your own dvr.

Tried with my xbrick360 and its not connecting

Looking for a DVR try, not just a stream service/WiFi service. I want to record my channels I get in the bedroom from my cable feed. I am keeping the cable feed and spending the $40 a month for all the channels, but want to record them too.

DVR's like TIVO still cost for a "cablecard" from the company - and maybe have a subscription cost.

Any other methoods? Or should I just relize that I watch too much TV anyway, and don't worry about it?

You can download stuff with the streaming box I linked to, according to their FAQ.

No subscription required. Just need an antenna. I have the older version. My version has had some issues. The reviews on the new version seem pretty solid.

So that will record literally what is playing on my TV at the time? So if I flip channels, it records it?

No. You program it to record a specific show at a specific time on a specific channel. It has a program guide. If you channel surf while it's recording, it doesn't record the surfing. If you are watching a show and decide you want to record it, you can tell it to record on the spot. It will only record that show.

It has 2 internal tuners. So you can watch one show/channel surf and record another or record 2 shows at the same time. You can't record 2 shows and watch a 3rd at the same time.

Sounds like what I am looking for. But do I need to rend a Cablecard from TWC? or pay a subscription fee like TIVO?

Negative ghost rider. It is pulling in the free over the air broadcasts. Just like your TV tuner would if it was hooked to an antenna instead of cable. You only get the OTA broadcast signals. Major networks plus a zillion spanish channels. If you are looking for cable networks, this isn't for you.
