I have a sweet deal on Directv, it's a homie/hood hookup.
Even then, I'm over it. Especially since I can't Dodger games due to the TWC situation. Only reason I'm not cutting the cord is due to HBOGo and ShoAnytime. If those two ever go independent, I am out.

Haven't paid for HBO in years. U know they stream everything.
If HBO does ever go independent they will be the only network to get my money.

Works just fine for me and I'm a huge basketball fan (I watch just about every Warriors game).
-Amazon prime streaming
-HBO password from a friend (I'll just buy him a drink the 2 times a year we see each other)
-NBA league pass stream that I hook up to my tv
-HD antenna for local channels
Literally everything I need. I miss the tnt nba show and college basketball though.
I just need the pac-12 to make an app for its games

I wouldn't go that far... popcorn is basically a working version of showbox aka moviebox..... you cant watch live tv shows or sports etc with it

Disconnected my cable over the weekend and I haven't missed anything yet. With Arrow ending last night, I think I'm really good for now.

I mean if you aren't really big on tv...xbmc is def the best option. while the picture isn't as sharp and crisp...(with the exception of prerecorded older shows/reruns) and sometimes there can be hiccups on live tv..especially with it being behind...(aka you could be watching a game with 5 seconds left and a person with cable/sat the game would be over) and sometimes repos/streams go down or change and you have to upload update when you consider all that and free its not a bad trade-off

Navi-X servers are down. From their team:
"We're working on getting our servers upgraded as we speak, so for the next few weeks service might continue to be unreliable until upgrades are complete. They are expected to be done within one month but it might be a few weeks longer at most. Please understand that this is because of the huge amount of new visitors, our old servers simply couldn't handle."
Getting my Fire TV tomorrow so I'll sideload XBMC on that it on that.
If anyone wants to buy the FireTV for $69 from Staples, you can buy a 30 off 80 coupon from cn-usa for 5.49, just google "cn-usa staples". Codes have restrictions and expiration dates, so make sure to read it and make sure its the online one as well. They take paypal. So total out of pocket before tax is 74.59.

Did you by chance install XMBC using a Mac? I just purchased a Fire TV in hopes of running XBMC but have only found tutorials for those with Windows PC's. I only have mac's and am starting to get worried lol.

Yes you can do it on a mac. I used my mac to install xbmc for ouya on my amazon fire tv, it works flawlessly.

Would you happen to have access to the tutorial you followed?
