Illegally

I have an attend for the network broadcasts (pretty cheap from Walmart, Best Buy, etc) & Sling's double plan for all the cable channels: all ESPN, Fox, etc channels including some of the more obscure ones that occasionally host a football or basketball game. Sling is about $70 per month. I also have the ESPN+ Disney bundle for $10 per month through Verizon Wireless. Even with my slow DSL internet connection, it works pretty well. I occasionally have annoying pauses but no other big complaints.

I live outside of Fort Stockton

I worked out there years ago, for about 6 months.

I remember eating at Mi Casita and B's Family dining. They were pretty good. Are they still open?

The steak place. Bob's was OK. What I remember the most was that the onion rings were very good and the service was very, very slow.

---

Mi Casita is still open and some of the greatest Tex Mex in the whole country. They make EVERYTHING by hand, from scratch, down to the salsa and chips. I like their enchiladas and asado.
B's Family Diner is still chugging along. Pure comfort food, no gluten-free, no diet plates!!!

K-Bob's still has slow service, but the best $25 steak you'll ever eat.
We have a hard time getting tender steaks out here. They ship all the good meat to DFW, Houston, Austin or San Antone. Steaks out here tasted good, but are pretty chewy.

Save for the $25 one at K-Bobs!!!

(But they are slow. Just remember that there is no sense of urgency west of the Pecos.)

Whenever we have guests, we ask them to bring us some good steaks from Central Market.

I'll probably do the YouTube Tv free trial

YouTubeTv has this nice sit screen to watch four games at once in four frames at once

BU/ND/Colorado/Wake games

YouTubeTv has a new product this year that is awesome. It broadcasts 4 games simultaneously on your screen and you can pair any four you like. Last night i watched Florida/UH/UT/KU among others

Nvidia Shield TV FTW

- It has better hardware than superbox
- It's $129 cheaper than superbox (Shield TV is $199 new. You can buy used for $99).
- You can go the legit route or the free route with content.

---

I've had the Shield. It's good but the Cube is better and half the price. I've used all the other Fire TV products also but have settled into the Cube

I'm looking for the least expensive and contractually obligated path to access live sports content. I currently the cheapest version of Hulu. Would it be best to just add the "Live" version for $69.99/month? Just curious as to what everyone else uses. TIA!

---

I have a SuperBox. It's a android device similar to a Firestick. No subscription fees at all not monthly nor yearly. You can get every live sporting event that's being broadcast NFL, NCAA, NBA and MLB.
The current box is $329 but thats it no monthly fees
You can get every sports channel every ESPN channel and premium movie channels HBO etc.
It also has a video on demand function that gives you access to shows on streaming channels

The only con is every now and then a channel will freeze for a minute or two. I think that is an issue with my internet connection. A minor annoyance

https://www.superbox.cc/

You Get Over 1000 Premium Superbox Channels Instantly.
You Get Over 10000 Movies & TV Shows (VOD).
No More Expensive Cable Bills.
Our TV Service is Always Up 99,99 % of the Time!
Solid TV Service, Without Buffering and Freezing (Stable Internet Required).

Is this legal or do you go through a VPN to access it?

NIce necro job.

Even though it can feel sluggish, the Nvidia Shield is better. The Cube has the worst TV OS I have ever used. It's a cluttered mess, lacks customization options outside of having 6 favorite apps and It pushes ads you cannot get rid of on the 2nd row of your home screen. That and it has a 100mb Ethernet port and USB 2.0. Why on Earth they would use that hardware in 2022 is beyond my understanding.

The Shield has 2 full speed and powered USB 3.0 ports, which is a big deal for me. It can also do lossless playback via Plex, which Cube couldn't do. Maybe they have finally fixed that problem but it existed from 2019-2023. I played around with the Cube 2 and 3 and returned both.

You must have a different Shield AND Cube from me. Not sure what Ads you are speaking of. I dont get any at all. You sure thats not an App doing it? BTW - used not only the Shield and Cube but also Firesticks and pigtails

He may be talking about the Nvidia Shield Pro rather than just the OG 'Nvidia Shield.' That's what I use. And it is by far the best standalone on the market in terms of capability.

But, a lot of the things we use the Nvidia Shield Pro for are usually more technical and not noob-friendly. I.e. running Kodi with different scrapers and providers, or a Plex server.

As far as the ads go, maybe I am confusing the cube with the firestick and fire tv. I've had all of those devices. The ads were a definite problem with the firesticks and fire tv's , so much so that there are countless hits on the Internet if you do a search "remove ads from firestick / fire tv". When I had them, there wasn't a way to remove the ads. Since then I guess people download ad blocking apps or something.

Everything else as mentioned before were reasons I didn't like the Cube.

What is best will ultimately come down to personal preference and what works for someones particular situation.

I am talking about the Pro. The original Shield doesn't have USB ports. It did have a microSD slot.

I think I've owned just about every streaming box out there since 2017 and the Shield Pro is my go to. It's getting a bit long in the tooth though. It sure would be nice if they came out with an updated Shield that improved upon the CPU/GPU specs.

I've heard from a friend that the cheapest way is to find a friend who pays for cable and get their login info. Then add espn/fox apps to the android TV box of your choice. That will get you access to most of the games..

Recently, a friend introduced a product, brand superbox, I ordered it at www.superboxsale.comI ordered the highest configuration Superbox S6 Ultra.I found this to be a very powerful streaming TV box with many advantages. I can watch most of the channels I want, such as news channels, sports channels, and the number is as high as 1000+, which makes me excited.I'm not paying $200 a month for television anymore, It's small, and convenient. Get all baseball/football games.....I like to use it to watch live TV, especially sports events, and my wife likes to use it to watch TV series and movies. It contains 10,000+ videos, and my wife likes to watch TV series. In general, I like them very much and I want to share them with you.

Sling does not have SEC network or CBS network so I've missed some basketball games. I don't think anybody has FloHoops so I missed a couple WBB games unlike the early 2020-21 games. I don't remember how I watched those but the broadcast was so poor I cannot see spending any money for their content.
