    I decided that I don't like Sling. Too many commercials, and very little variety. The commercials are 50% louder than the show, can't fast forward through them. Only popular shows have good sound, but also ridiculous commercials. Some stuff is edited for TV as well. It's like paying for crappy 1990's basic cable.

    We don't use it, but Hulu started offering the cable stations like Sling does at an additional cost. Not sure if it's any different, but it's another option.

    We have had tv for the last 2 years, this friday at 12:00am it is cancled and we got prime and netflix to take its place. My wife likes TV but I have never really been a huge fan, especially now that everything is so PC.
    Don't be stupid!!!!!

    If you want variety, an abundance of content, no fees, no bull poop, you need to get an Android streaming box that runs Kodi. Streamstation is one of them and their are many others. Some googling will get you a lot of info. Way too much info to post here.

    I've thought about Kodi, but I've heard mixed reviews on it, i.e. it's not really a set it and forget it type of program. I'm not opposed to paying a little bit for TV, but cable cost is ridiculous.

    kodi is not plug-and-play... lots of fiddling, customizing, upgrading constantly... Mobdro (for stations) and Terrarium TV (for on-demand shows) are much easier to maintain.

    This is what I'm trying to avoid.

    Mobdro and Terrarium TV are apps that run on multiple platforms, Google is your friend. They can even run on an Amazon Firestick.

    Where I live, it's either Satellite, a 100' tower for antenna TV, or internet based.
