Am I paying for the content or the access because if I'm paying for content why is there commercials but if I'm paying for access why is it an extra hundred over the cost of internet? Cable is nonsense.

Checked, legit. I jam my laptop in things and watch at other locations, always end up setting up nearbies pubbies with the kodi wizardry. Many less clicks, plus built in sports ball seems like a bonus as thats always comes with a disclaimer of it's live TV.

personally i don't use their kodi download that is bundled with wookie, maybe im a masochist but i use these instructions, http://wookiespmc.com/how-to-install-wookie-wizard-any-kodi/


edit: "After a few seconds a notification will appear confirming that Wookie has been enabled successfully."

actually a few seconds can take like a minute or more, just wait it out until it says wookie plugin installed. then you can find it in your video addons and run it. i like retro wookie.

There's tons of TVs at my job and I'll have to do my job around people watching CBS or NCIS or Blue Bloods or some Cooking Show or the occasional Survival Show. US culture is fuuuuuuuucked.

Being able to watch football while I work can be kind-of cool. I pick whatever uniform is nicer and root for them all night, except for the Patriots which even I know deserve to be hated.

I think they have abandoned this stupid marketing ploy in favor of trying to push 4k (just as dumb). I guess when you can get a 1080p TV for a few hundred dollars, and it is actually a good deal for the consumer, it needs to be quickly replaced with a scheme to bilk them for more cash.

4K is plummeting in price so it's nbd. 4K TVs probably help push down the cost of 4K monitors where it absolutely matters.

Curved TVs are garbage and unless you're sitting face into it you have a miserable viewing experience, flat are far better to prevent distortion.

This is coming from a person with an OLED tv and having cut my cable before ever even starting, since I just pay for the highest speed connection for consistent 4k streaming in the boonies

It's a good thing though that most streaming services are still 1080 though since my chromecast doesn't cover it and my smart tv only has netflix/hulu/amazon video on it, and I want crunchyroll and hbo from my phone since its not on there

I also don't have a good PC that can output on it though for games yet and am waiting for the current cards to play 4k at 60 fps and high settings and not cost a loving arm and a leg

I didn't even really care about 4k when i bought the tv since I care more about the OLED picture (which is insane compared to my LED tv thats now in my bedroom), but yeah unless you're super close to it like I am its really not noticeable, I care more about monitors that can do it

Incidentally curved monitors are pretty great too since you're close enough the curve is immersive.

you're going to want to wait for the GTX 1080 to come down in price, I'm pretty sure its the only current card that can attain 4k 60fps

There was a radio ad by comcast about how they were fastest, and I went to the website to see how they were spinning it because they absolutely are not the fastest in this area, and it was about how fast the cable box changes channels.
