    I had to start playing a live/archived game to get it to ask for my username/password. Seems to work pretty well once you get it up and running.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I cut back a $120/month Comcast Internet/Cable plan to $60/month by switching to basic cable only (local stations plus TBS). I could have gone to OTA only, but due to the discount for having a package, the internet-only bill would only have been $57/month or not much cheaper. I've been using...

    I think a big issue stopping content providers (networks) from going around the distributors (cable co's, etc.) is the fact that the distributors own a fair number of content providers as well. For example - Comcast owns NBC and its associated channels. The distributors can effectively weed out...

    If you have an iPad with a cell radio it won't work because it determines your location off of the cell towers, not your IP. I suppose you could jailbreak and spoof your location though.

    I haven't tried this personally (would like to), but you can try a setup like this: http://lifehacker.com/5771670/how-to-turn-your-computer-into-an-internet-personal-video-recorder.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    For those of you that have questions on antennas and ranges etc, I've found AntennaWeb to be the best resource. You enter in your address and it'll give you a list of stations in your range - along with the type of antenna you'd need to get the majority of them and (if necessary) which direction...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    If the main sticking point is the Sox - why not just get extended basic cable? You should be able to get NESN, ESPN etc. in standard def. along with local channels in high definition for $20 a month. I have pretty much the same setup you're looking for though - and I'm using an XBox 360 Arcade...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    QUOTE (86spike @ Jun 3 2009, 11:25 AM) sure, but picture qulaity is no comparison. People (again, not all, just the vast majority) are buying HDTVs and want the best picture possible. If we're going down to picture quality... in my opinion OTA HD broadcasts have superior quality than either...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    QUOTE (LoweTek @ Jun 1 2009, 04:13 PM) Does anybody have specific experience with one of the PC based DVR programs? I understand they're free and don't differ much from Tivo, DirecTV's DVR service or cable's. The good ones aren't free unless you use MythTV, but if you're going down a Windows...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I've actually thought of this as well (already have the setup in place). Hulu's new desktop app is huge for folks going down this road. The only thing that is keeping me on cable is the fact that I live locally, and NESN is the only way to get the Sox (blackout on MLB.tv). You can't get...
