OK I need a few of you beard wearing hipster IT types to tell me if I'm crazy.

My current TimeWarner cable bill is $210/mo. We need that to cover internet and all the essential cable TV {MSG, HBO, CNN, FOX, Bloomberg, HGTV, Bravo, Cartoon, Food, major OTA networks}. We also have a whole house DVR, with three digital sets at 1080p. I have a subscription to Amazon Prime that we use to send stuff to my daughter at college and other gifts to family around the country. We're keeping that, cause the boy will go to school as soon as she graduates.

My current internet is 30 Mbps. I can double that to 60Mbps, get rid of the cable package and the HDTV boxes, and reduce my cable bill to $60/mo.

With the faster speed, I can get 1 Roku Streaming Stick, and two Roku's Express. If I combine the existing Amazon Prime with SlingTV and NetFlix subscription, I can cover every thing except the OTA Networks and the Sabres. NHLtv will allow me to subscribe to the Sabres ($50/yr), and if I get a VPN subscription ($100) a year I'll never get blacked out. I need an OTA antenna card for the networks.

All this rolled together every month is $60 (internet); $35 (Sling) $12 (Netflix) and $15 (annualized NHLtv w/VPN). That's $122/mo - or $90/mo less than current. One time hardware cost is $70 (Streaming stick comes free with Roku subscription, two Expresses at $30/each and $10 for the antenna) so it pays for itself first month.

What am I missing? Can an old dude who can post Youtube videos and gifs manage the set up for this system?

Who's to say Jack's not a leader look at the turn around of the team
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Maybe because jack said " ROR is our leader"

Pretty sure the Hawks are in an even worse spot.

I'm sure they're shaking in their boots just scout another KHL team and find some stars

Pretty sure the Hawks are in an even worse spot.

Have you been spying on me?

If that's the case, I'm going to guess he is going to keep 8 skaters and a goalie. McCabe, Risto, Bogo (yes I think he'll freeze him) and Gorges. On offense O'Reilly, Kane, Okposo, and TBD.
- Mentalorgasm5

I'd think they'd be less likely to protect Bogo and Gorges and more likely to protect Larsson and Foligno.

OK I love Ryan O'Reilly just like the next person but what the hell did he do to lead this team out of the gutter when jack was out ?

And let's all not forget when Jack almost got re-injured it's like the whole team quit and then they got scored on a minute later
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Jack is the talent . not necessarily the leader atm.

When your slob-ass neighbors don't take their laundry out of the washers and dryers.

I live in an apartment complex and there's four washers and dryers and they're all full. And not one of them is on.

Under NYS law you have the right to throw the clothes into the snow after 15 minutes.

Maybe because jack said " ROR is our leader"
- gordong

Well he does have an A on his jersey meaning leader

Why does the caption have to be the best player?

I THink ROR is the best leader.... that's why he should have it! hell even eichel said ROR was the leader.

You are smart.

I went 2 years w/o cable/direct tv


it can be done, frustrating many times and lots of stuff you need to be prepared to watch a day or 2 later


after saying that, when I got cable back, it was a big relief


just try to get a package through customer retain department

don't stop til you get their third offer

my guess is by doing that you will save 25%

I believe Directv has some sort of new subscription option that allows you to watch through Apple TV without having the traditional Directv subscription. I don't know a ton about it, but a friend of mine posted something on FB about it. I'd suggest perhaps looking into that as well.

Jack is the talent . not necessarily the leader atm.
- cabin

How do any of us know he's not a leader ? Just saying it's pretty evident when he almost got injured the whole team quit imo


On the bright side this is better than talking about how much skunk suck

Screw direct tv. Signal is gone during rain or snow. If a cloud (storm) is 10 miles away but blocks the satellite , you lose signal. And price climbs every month

Have you been spying on me?

It's not the dish in your yard. It's an internet only subscription. They give you 0 equipment. Minimally, it works through Apple TV. Not sure about Roku or anything like that, but I would guess it may be able to work through those as well.

Would have to be a DSL signal through the phone lines. Fibre optic is the best but not available everywhere.
