A friend has a router box that is able to stream damn near every channel and pay per view events. All nfl games available without blackouts.
All regional abc,nbc,cbs, and fox are available.
He claims I can watch dc news from it.

I don’t own one because that would be illegal but I hear they are on sale for $350 flat fee and typically arrive within a week.

It’s too risky for me, the streams could be shutdown and he is out $350 but he’s a year in without issue. MLB and ballys channels are all listed as well.

Wouldn’t want to post a link here. Might bring heat to the site and it’s illegal.
Not sure what I’m talking about anymore

i use to jailbreak my amazon firesticks, there so much gray in the law as far as streaming goes they really would never do anything to you, it becomes more of a ethical issue

at this point the only people i know that still uses cable tv box sets are all over 80

what is funny back in the day everyone would complain that the cable company would force you into packages and you pay for channels you really didn't want

now with streaming services you can al cart it but everyone complains now there are too many choices and its confusing

its a lose/lose

i just pay for the best internet i can get in my area (FIOS) then i keep a spreadsheet of my streaming services and turn on and turn off services as i need them

the best deal i have come across and gets about 90% of what i need is the hulu/disney/espn bundle as an added bonus you get espn plus on the web site as well
