Free tv

Outside of OTA there's no such thing as "free tv". Their site has no details on what channels they support - that's a huge red-flag right there. Assuming you have unlimited bandwidth or an unlimited budget (which of course is unrealistic) I'd be very wary of this device. It's quite expensive for just being a streaming device.

Did they actually show you which sports channels they support? There's nothing free about sports channels, nothing legal any way.

That was our concern. We are big NASCAR fans and they actually pulled up NBC sports channel. It wasn't very clear. From what I have read about HEVC (the processing of data from point to point) it should be better than HD.

They said you can watch any football game that is being played... our first thought was what about that "...no rebroadcast of this game..." warning.

It seemed they are getting a signal from somewhere but it didn't make any sense!

When we travel, we use OTA service, along with ROKU when we have DSL at our snowbird location.

DH does miss the golf channel. Does anyone know of a way to get the golf channel other than satellite or cable? Paying is fine.

If you're talking about live-stream, there is free television. I have been watching television via UsTvnow.com I get five channels; ABC, CBS, NBD, PBS, and CW. You can upgrade but they have never asked me to or forced me to sign up for more. We haven't had cable at home for a couple of years as we watch local Mexican and national news.

They are likely just selling some type of Android box running Kodi.
Do some Googleing for Kodi and Raspberry Pi. Kodi can run on Fire sticks and many other devices.
The problem with all of the "free" IPTV stuff is that the show you want may or may not be available. If no one is uploading it to the internet it is not there.

This is a 4k box like dozens of others only way more expensive. It runs Kodi like the previous poster said.

There is nothing special about this box than dozens of others.

$300?????????? I paid well under $100 for my top of the line Roku.

I too use alot of the internet access for live TV and TV SERIES shows that are available the following day after they are aired... Good way for us to keep up with what we missed... We watch "MOP VIDEO TV" and "LIVE TV" here from the internet with pretty good results...

Quality is great on the next day downstreams but the live TV downstreams that are delayed about 5 seconds are not as good for us...

Everyday it seems someone else is offering TV for our devices... Haven't started looking at any of them yet... Even our local provider has something you can use if you have an account with them..

DIRECTV has teamed up with someone and offering SAT TV anywhere on your devices running off the Internet I think... haven't checked up with that one either but that one sounds more promising for us as since we have totally switched to OTA FREE TV using our crank up BATWING setup when camping we sometimes miss a couple of the SAT TV programs like USA, TNT, or HIST channels...

We love the quality of the FREE TV from the local towns... Great move on the NATL BROADCAST setup going to digital TV mode...

There is no free stream or broadcast available of every NFL football game. There are complicated rules on which games are available over the air in certain markets and out of town games are only available via the Sunday Ticket package which is an exclusive offering of DirectTv and is most certainly *not* free.

The HEVC people are selling you a bill of goods regarding the availability of free content via the Internet, at least legal content.

Exactly... They just haven't been caught yet. There was another company recently shut down called AEREO that was providing OTA streaming in certain markets for fee, but were not paying retrans fees to the broadcasters as well as violating copyrights. They were high profile (Barry Diller was involved), easy to find, and when the broadcasters filed on them the courts ruled shut them down. These guys are flying under the radar and its just a matter of time before they're done as well.
