- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

I know some of you all are really tech savvy. Suggestions on cutting the cords/saving money?

    So here’s my setup...two smart TVs have amazon fire sticks on both. The main tv has a Apple TV on it. Paid one time fees for all of the fire sticks and Apple TV. Obviously we have prime tv that we can choose from, and added hbo now which is a monthly service I think it’s 16.00 bucks and I have the cbs app which allows me to watch live tv national news and shows that are on there but mainly for sec football in season 6.99 a month. I use sling because of its simple user interface tried Hulu (to hard to search for stuff for me) and dropped that. Basic package on sling is 30 a month today I added the orange channels and added sports for a grand total of of 50 a month on that. We have Verizon for internet and pay the basic internet package for 64.00 a month. It gets the job done pictures are clear.

    Total monthly tv bill including internet 140.00 a month but the great thing is when football goes off I drop the espn and sports package off sling and the bill drops to 110 a a month.

    I use a VPN for stremio (free app for movies and shows) and streams for us ($50 a year any NFL and college game).

    Try a Playstation Vue trial. It seemed to mimic basic cable pretty well.

    Ask a family member or friend with cable for their stream password. Most likely there's someone who isn't using theirs so you can stream with a laptop and HDMI.

    I’ve been using Roku/ Sling for three years or so. I don’t watch a lot or TV but I was erroneously worried that I would miss a lot of college football. The only problem I have is sometimes struggling to get a CBS with an antenna, but I live in a semi-rural area and always manage to get a signal with varying amounts of fiddling (I feel like my grandmother watching Days of Our Lives: “Get away from the aerial!!”)
