I also have chrome cast which we hardly use now with smart sets. But it did a kick ass job when we used it. The Roku is pretty sweet. If it weren't for sports I would fist fuck Charter for the pure pleasure of it. #Merica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried making 1 account with 2 addresses (bundle was my hope) and it was like pulling teeth and finally just said fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I guess what I want to find out about all these alternative units is what is involved. We have 5 tv's and I want them all up and running. Plus I'm not sure of the programming. I need financials on my office TV. The rest can be whatever. I heard one service needs an antennae per tv? Fuck that...I don't want that shit littering up my roof. This cable shit has gotten as bad as the telephone companies used to be. Now I've read that local,fed and state are proposing another big tax on consumers on cable/satellite to cover the costs of people leaving for alternative methods. WTF?????????????????

Shut the fuck up. Put the antennae in the attic and get rid of that dish. That dish in your front yard is not impressing anybody,you white piece of hillbilly ass trash.

They got this shit figured out Yep. Any service you drop affects your overall "bundling". Like I said, I'm now paying much more for less services and channels than when I signed up 3/4 years ago. It's actually pretty infuriating. I'm gonna do something about it too. When it no longer becomes about the money....it's a problem. I don't like feeling like I'm being bent over. I just gotta figure out high speed wi-fi. I think phone company services have gotten much better over the years. PLUS...these fuckers are charging me $9 for the modem....X5! I mean...at what point should these $50 boxes be paid for? Come on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder If I can put it on the back of my garage or on a pole in the back of it...hmmmmmmm. Not sure why I couldn't. I could just run the wire to my main. But then...there's the high speed internet problem. You know what....I'm gonna get this figured out this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got this shit figured out comcast was the same then i decided to go to battle with them because they will give a new customer a TV/Internet package with what i wanted but yet they claimed no such think existed in the retention department. What pisses me off most is the requirement for a box @ every TV. fucking 3-10/mo when i have tv's that get watched maybe a couple of times. So now i no longer have tv's in my game room and basement office and the kids don;t have boxes on theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thought I’d do a TTT here before we dismantle the meme thread. As mentioned, just picked up a Roku for a test run. If I can get this to work, gonna tell my cable company drop all but their internet. Anybody got any tricks/tips/advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
