    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    What are they looking for, as far as usage? An Nvidia shield is probably the best on the market for streaming and live tv. A firestick or chromecast would be good too and cheap. Or they could just buy a TV with something built in

    The addon the Crew for kodi is great for live sports. I use it to watch Cardinals and Blues games all the time with no issues.

    I've seen those boxes before that come preloaded with Kodi and a bunch of addons. I'd be leery of them. The other issue that you might run into is that it is android 12.0, not android tv OS, so apps you download from the play store may not look correct on a TV and may not work correctly either.

    I'm using the wolf launcher on my shields to get rid of all that ad shit that google is promoting. It's worked flawlessly for me.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Great thing about YouTube tv is the family sharing. My parents and I split the cost of YouTube tv and we both it get it. You can share with up to 5 people, that is supposed to be in the same household. We're in the general location of St Louis so it hasn't been a problem. The lack of sport on...

    Get a Nvidia shield. It will do everything you want with little effort. There would be no headaches I switched my parents to it from a cable box and they haven't had any issues at all. They use YouTube tv though. It does have the live tv app that you could use with the hd homerun. You can set...

    Insurance Claim Questions

    My brother in law got a letter from their insurance company telling them they won't cover roofs more than 10 years old. I've seen a few other people online post that. Seems like the insurance companies just want to screw people.

    Quantum Leap

    It's a pretty good show. There were two episodes over first two seasons that dealt with trans shit that were somewhat eye rolling but overall a good show.
