It is happening as I predicted it. HD streaming is getting to a point where you can find live events in HD for free. I was watching UFC 169 last night in 720p. Hell, that is better than any Acestream or Streamtorrent I could find.

I just read an article on how ESPN's #1 policy now is to protect the pay TV model. Anyone hoping for WatchESPN as a stand alone subscription is dreaming.
Hell, ESPN is one of the most consistent, easiest to find streams on Sportsdevil.

How big of a pain is initial setup and ongoing glitch troubleshooting of G-box? Thinking about pulling the trigger shortly.

It's not an appleTV, that's for sure. I mean there is a wide spectrum of tolerance for troubleshooting. It's definitely not plug and play.

No. Legal, pay services only with it (Netflix, etc..).

A Roku box is cheaper than an apple tv and with all the private channels you can find, it would have similar content to an XBMC box. Still, nothing beats the sportsdevil, 1channel, Icefilms combo.

Crap, this is a stupid question, but I assume I'll need a box for each tv?

I havn't had cable for 20 years. Time warner screwed me over and that was that.

I get all the air channels for free. Any shows I like, I can catch up on for free at the library.

I have probably saved 100 a month for close the 20 years and havnt missed it all.

Fingers crossed, but I completely wiped xbmc and reinstalled frodo apk downloaded onto an SD card, and everything is running much much better now.

Need some advice on this. I have haven't had cable for 2yrs now, we use netflix by Mail and OTA for tv. I made a fractional antenna array in the attic and get great reception from it.
I would like to use it for a dvr and to make use of xbmc for viewing options.

I already built a nas drive to store/share media, so here is my proposed build
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Bryansanders74/saved/3Fab


Motherboard Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2+ Combo or $69.99
CPU AMD A6-6400K 3.9GHz Dual-Core Combo or $69.99
Memory Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 $54.29
Storage Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD $89.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Case Silverstone ML04B HTPC $74.99
Optical Drive Asus BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer Combo or $59.98
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

I need a little advise on a tv tuner we have 2 TVs one upstairs one down that would share the antenna.
Great info in this thread!
Thanks in advance

Do you have ethernet to those TVs? a silicondust tuner would work great for that. some cheapo xbmc boxes on it as your front ends and this new computer acting as the backend.

That certainly would do the job, right now I just use a separate coax to each tv.
I guess I'm looking to find the best and least expensive to access the media inthe nas. The main comp would go downstairs in our den, hook directly into our AV receiver and TV.
I wil also do some lite gaming w the kids on it.

I had cooled on XBMC, because it always seemed like I was having problems with it.

The problem was a shitty version of XBMC I'd installed that was loaded with all kinds of bloat. I went straight to the source and did a clean install. I went on a movie binge yesterday and into last night without a single crash and zero buffering issues once I found a good stream for them.

Watched:
Inside Llewyn Davis
Dallas Buyer's Club
Wolf of Wall Street
Ender's Game

First three were excellent, and I was ambivalent about Ender's Game.
