My cable is now $126 with Internet. It's starting to get painful. How would you watch shows like on AMC and other channels for free?

Sling tv is 25 bucks and includes all espn family including sec network. Also TBS, TNT, food network, hgtv, ifc. Get an antenna for CBS games or pay 5.99 for CBS app. Covers all your Auburn games except the crappy ones on FSN. Get all this through a Roku or Amazon Fire stick

Is there anything else I'm going to need to watch football games?


Order one of these and watch any football game aired, plus a lot more.

I actually built mine on a Raspberry Pi2. Once all my buddies saw what it could do, they wanted me to build them some. I said hell naw. Directed them to this exact auction and they ordered them and love it. Basically it's a "media server" that links to a shite ton of servers worldwide. If it's out there, you can watch it. There are unlimited addons which are "kinda like a mobile app" on your phone that have been built buy programmers to link to certain content. An example would be the Sports Devil addon. It has every NFL network, College network, ESPN, CBS, .... already preconfigured. All you do is open the addon, select what you want to watch and a list of steams comes up sorted by quality 1080p all the way down to shite. Check out tv addons to see what all you can do with these things. Kodi is a cord cutters dream.

Edit: Also, if you want the option to add external storage or maybe a wireless keyboard look for the Amazon FireTV on there already rooted with kodi installed. The fire stick comes with the remote like the the fireTV, but that has been the only complaint from my friends. Not having the ability to type in the search. You have to arrow over to each letter when searching.

Search kodi on the tech board here too if you want more opinions. There is a long thread on it.

Virtually every college and pro game here free online once the pop ups close or are closed (bball games too). My best and sometimes only option overseas and have used it for 3-4 years after ESPN 360 became unavailable.

I'm about to try an antenna tonight, but I doubt it works here in Auburn.

I looked for the CBS app on the Fire Stick, but I could only find CBS News. Are you sure it's available on Amazon?
