FiOS Quantum Gigabit Internet service; plus FiOS Quantum TV service with 8-tuner DVR for around $220/month here. I'm a home cinema pro so TV service isn't where I look to save money.

I am looking for the best device/option to record Live TV and/or off of a Firestick and or Android device.
I'm ready to be done with DirecTV after 2 decades. |

Not sure I am ready to cut the cord but I share your frustration with DTV. Their equipment locks up, loses connection with the video bridge and turns smart TV's on when you don't want them to. I looked at my bill last month and it was $225. I just have not found much that would work well for 8 televisions.

Not sure why anyone would want or need to record from a streaming source, but TiVo can record OTA if you have reception where you live.

https://www.suppose.tv/tv Pick the stuff you like to watch and leave out the stuff you don't...if you end up finding a package, or combination of packages, that will end up saving you money/frustration, great! If not, at least you'll reassure yourself that it isn't time yet. |

How about when we're not at home??? I absolutely must have a way to record Live TV because everything, particularly local programming are not streamed. |

To me an OTA HD antenna is an essential part of cutting the cord... That is assuming you're in an area that provides reception. I'm surprised not one person has mentioned it yet. 🤷🏻*♂️

for the longest time, i kept renewing my triple play offer which included 200mbps, phone, and basic tv. with the modem and 3 box sets, my cost was $180/month.
stuck at home and researching alternatives, i canceled my package today and now paying 300mbps for $60/ month all inclusive. after reviewing the channel lineup from various providers like sling, hulu, etc i ultimately settled on youtube tv as they offered most of the channels i watch costing me $50/month. saving $70/month moving forward or $840/year i feel relieved; should have done this sooner . i found it ridiculous i was paying $40/month for 'rent' fee for the modem and 3 boxes when the modem i bought only cost $100. i mean even paying the rent fee for 5 years is $2,400, just straight up robbery for anyone planning on cutting the cord, keep an eye out on the modem you buy. there is a major flaw with modems using the intel puma chips so better to go with broadcom. googling will net you many results. this is a hardware flaw from intel similar to their desktop chip issues so best to avoid. the other crazy thing i found during my research is these new 'all in one' boxes that have modem, tv, and wireless router built in being offered at discounted bundled price is also a scam. from a business perspective smart strategy, but on the consumer end the box creates a secondary public wifi increasing the company's hot spot coverage. keep in mind this is using your bandwidth let alone having a secondary network open to the public.

Good job. Internet only here, no TV, no streaming subscription. Purchased my own modem. No gaming. It's just about as bare bones as can be while having a standard amount of bandwidth.
I looked at going all cellular/wireless but AT&T didn't seem like a good deal given the increase in data consumption if eliminating cable entirely. |
