Kodi ppl, I assume that you can pause these streams, right? Including live sports? also, how often do you find an add on no longer works. Some youtubes I just watched made it sound like some come and go and some are always there.

It sounds like the right add ons would allow someone to do this crazy clam cord cutting without even having the Vue, HBO Now, etc.

Do you have to have a PS4 to use Vue, or can you just use the app like on Roku, or Fire TV??

Asking for an older friend.

Nope, its just an app you can dl on roku, fire, etc.

You wouldn't download some shitty SD truck.

This has been helpful. I don't need to make a decision until April, so I'm not in a hurry.

My main concern is the ability to watch K-State sports and the Royals live. That's it.

I have never DVRed a game and watched it later and I never will. I don't have DVR now with my cable and don't intend to do that either.

It sounds like Sling gives the ability to do what I want, but perhaps with a few issues.

i borrowed a friend's Amazon fire stick for a couple weeks. The biggest issue for me was interface and convenience. I'm a big channel switcher, especially on Saturdays. It was extremely clunky to try and go back and forth smoothly on sling. If they can ever perfect that, i would think hard about it. I got pretty much every channel i wanted.

(yes I know I can I find out online) Can Sling log-ins get you full access to Fox Sports Go? Not really worried, as I can use good ol mom and pops TWC log-in in case, but curious.

It does not.

Does work for WatchESPN though.

With SlingTV, would you ever feel confident enough to throw a watch party or something?

This is a very good question.

I've done it with KStateHD.tv.

I'm not confident enough in my life to have enough friends to have the need to attempt to throw a 'watch party'.

But, if I had more of a winning life, yes, I'd more than likely feel purdy 'okay' about throwing a SlingTV watch par-tay.

I was very reluctant when that chick I married said we should cut the cord - uverse kept going up and I guess having 3 wireless boxes and HBO and Showtime and all that nonsense got pricey, considering we don't watch a ton of TV.

On the real, I haven't even noticed the different with Vue + Fire Stick + PS4. Don't be afraid to do it.

rabbit ears + netflix for the last three years, very simple to do if you're not a lazy addict with bad genes

I completely forget I have sling until there's an NBA game on TNT
