If so, how is the quality? Re: Cutting the cord - Pete Nice - 05-18-2012 Joe Wrote:So even though they took away On Demand the XBOX app for Xfinity still lets me watch shows on channels that I no longer have. :grin: I have Verizon Fios, so my xbox has the verizon fios app, I checked it out and the quality was not very good, grainy pictures and stuff. Plus, my xbox is in the basement and will stay there, I am trying to get rid of cables and wires, not add new ones. SO that option is out for me. Re: Cutting the cord - Pete Nice - 05-18-2012 Chip Wrote:Joe Wrote:Chip, I have a WD Live Hub with 1TB of storage and a bunch of online services like Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, Cinema Now and a ton more. Which service are you using to get Game of Thrones? I know I can get that stuff through torrents if I go through a proxy, but that's a pain in the ass sometimes. I am really not sure what any of this means, but I have a feeling it is just about torrent downloading? Re: Cutting the cord - Pete Nice - 05-18-2012 Another big factor in my not being able to get rid of cable yet: My wife loves HGTV and watches it all the time. If I could find a place that does a quality stream of their live programming, that would be awesome. I REALLY want to drop cable, just am worried about losing the sports, the wife's HGTV and the fact that my wife does not know how to download anything and then transfer it to watching on tv, She can use the netflix on the blue ray player, that is about it. Re: Cutting the cord - Pete Nice - 05-18-2012 Another thing. I could get network with the over air signal, but I don't want to hook up and antenna either. Again, trying to get rid of wires, not add more or replace old ones. Re: Cutting the cord - Chip - 05-18-2012 Pete Nice Wrote:Chip Wrote:I don't have cable. The quality depends on your internet connection. I didn't get it this year, so I don't know if they've improved on it. Ever watch a game on a 60hz LCD? Well, it kind of looked like it was 30hz. But if you sign up for the online version, you can watch it online, on your phone, I can watch it on my Boxee. Yes, you get all the games. And yes, they still black out local games, based on your billing address. So if you're out of town, you still wouldn't be able to watch the Pens.

But I think it's about the same. Downloading movies, music and software. Re: Cutting the cord - Brampton - 05-18-2012 Pete Nice Wrote:Another thing.

I guess I have to look into it. Re: Cutting the cord - Brampton - 05-18-2012 Pete Nice Wrote:Nope. There is a large antenna and set top box/decoder for itBrampton Wrote:Pete Nice Wrote:Another thing.
