Sling just added FSD, game changer I thought slongbox just "slongs" your already existing cable situation to other devices? This is a $20 a month service with very limited channel offerings. Www.sling.comThe beta version of fsd they are currently offering is a very poor quality feed, but it's expected to get to HD eventually.

Roku and Chromecast have native big10 apps, or you can AirPlay to firetv or appleTV from an iOS device

It's all constantly changing and expanding though. It's a wild ride

I think as of this moment Amazon fire tv with a sling subscription is the best bet. Especially if you are willing to use someone else's sign in on other apps

My cable is out of f'n control and I don't watch 3/4 of the damn channels they charge me for. So with that I am going to try PlayStation Vue. I already have Amazon Prime, so with them to gather we should be alright. Does anyone here have Vue? Tell me what you think about it.

On top off what we pay for Comcast triple play, there was almost $30 in Comcast fees: connectivity fees, local broadcast fees, user fees....all bullshit

On top off what we pay for Comcast triple play, there was almost $30 in Comcast fees: connectivity fees, local broadcast fees, user fees....all bullshit I knew I had to get away from crapcast years ago. I hate having to call once or twice a year to threaten to leave so that they can put my bill lower but still nowhere close to reasonable. I went to DishNetwork and loved it. My bill was fixed and didn't move for 5 years and I got all I wanted. It wasn't effected by weather as bad as they claim. Then when my wife lost her job in 2015 I had to cut out services all together. Then I started using the channel apps and my mom let me use her login so I could watch things. I'm still doing it that way. I got a FireTv for Christmas and with a $11.95/mo prime membership and the login from my mom I'm all set. My wife even says she knows somebody who could jailbreak the FireTV so we get everything.

Pollux, Had Dish before U-verse, it wasn't bad. But like you we are tired of fighting with these cable companies. One minute your bill is fine, then they jack your rates. So your on the phone bitching at them, this has gone on for over 5 years. They told my wife last week they can't do anymore for us. I don't mine paying for quality, but that isn't what is happening here. So I compared Sling-TV, Direct Now (AT&T), & Vue. Vue offer the best packages, gives us the channels we want to watch and has DVR capabilities. So I am going to give this a try for a while and like I said we also have Amazon Prime to. If we have to add an app here & there we will still be cheaper then what we are paying now.

Pollux: when you switched from Comcast to the Dish Network, did they need to re-wire all your outlets? I have heard different things from people about that.

Freddie- in my experience anytime we have changed cable companies we have had to re-wire. It seems they all have different wiring, probably another con they putting on the consumer.

I don't know if they were incompatible or just old and needed to be replaced. When I moved and took Dish with me the new house didn't have any prexisting outlets because it was a new build. So they had to run cables. I believe at the time I was locked in at $65 for a while. That was almost everything except movie channels.
