It also has a built-in DVR service that’s way better than cable TV versions. I subscribe to Sony’s new PlayStation Vue service, which can stream 100+ channels - including all the major cable channels as well as the broadcast channels - over high speed internet. Or FCC reverse auction and repacking will adversely impact OTA. Or as some say real OTT a la carte will impact OTA. Maybe someone will purchase the company within 3 years and totally change direction.

I’m a little cash poor at the moment, though.ĭoes anyone here pay monthly? Those are the only two options, right? Is there anything in the middle? I have another week or so to think on it, but I’m leaning that way. So… I guess a lifetime subscription is just another month and a half. But that will pay for itself in 5 months.

So now my monthly bill (for much more than I had with cable TV) is $95/month - not nothing, but better than $197.98.Īnd then there is the upfront cost… I spent about $500 on hardware setting all this up: HD OTA antenna, tablo with single tuner, hard drive, used PS3 (for PSVue), a new universal remote that can talk bluetooth (for the PS3), and various cables and adapters. Oh yeah, and HBO Now (lotta good shows on HBO that I would miss). I greatly reduced my monthly fee (a killer $197.98 for March from loathsome TWC), but I still have to pay for hi-speed internet (need it for work and streaming), and I can’t do without cable channels - especially in an election season - so I have PSVue. Thanks for sharing your thinking on this. It has now been 5 or so months ith Tablo… 4 or so since I paid the lifetime… And I still frequently smile knowing that there is no more fees associated with it… So by not having a monthly or a yearly fee associated with my OTA DVR called Tablo, I can truly feel like the cord has been cut, because there is nothing more to pay… So $149 is less than 10 months of satellite related guide/dvr service, and then never pay again.īy paying it all now, I never have to spend another penny unless there is equipment failure. I was paying $16 a month (at least) with satellite to get whole home dvr service. So, after year 2, month 6 you are ahead… Not 3 years… I am very happy with tablo, and plan to keep it a long time… For 4.99 a month, venus $149 for lifetime, it’s really 2.5 years at the monthly rate. I was paying $97 a month for satellite (cheapest package I could get)… The lifetime fee was only 1.5 months of satellite that I will never have to pay again. I didn’t like paying a bigger chunk up front either, but I looked at it this way: What do most people do - monthly? lifetime? On the other hand, if I’m going to keep this for more than 3 years (which I surely will), it would cost a lot more to pay monthly. I’ve spent a lot of money on hardware for this cord-cutting venture (I also bought a PS3 to stream PlayStation Vue, and a universal remote that can handle both bluetooth and IR), and I don’t really want another big upfront purchase. I can’t decide if I should pay a monthly fee or buy the lifetime guide.

Flirc ps4 trial#

If I were to go with the monthly fee version, should I wait until the end of the trial so as not to lose my free days? I still have 13 days left in my 30 day trial for the guide. So now I want the guide, but I have some questions. I get 63 OTA channels with my antenna, and I had no idea how much cool stuff there was to watch until I looked at it through the lens of the Tablo Guide and its categories.

I use PlayStation Vue (streams cable channels with a built-in DVR - way better than Sling) in addition to Tablo, so at first I didn’t think I’d need more than the Tablo daily guide - that is, until I spent some time looking at it.
