      I bought the $249 unit, and a $60 1TB USB 3.0 drive and saved my self $90 bucks.

      Was worth it when I was comparing it to buying a TV Tuner card, and the board etc to run everything on. It really does work quite well.

        I haven't have cable in 10 years . All OTA since then.

        I've recently picked up Roku 3 and am using Hulu and Sling TV. Hulu I plan on keeping and it works great. SlingTV constantly have problems and complains about my internet connection when the connection is fine. I don't know if it's some fight between Sling and Comcast or what.

          What is everyone (who has one) using for a DVR? I'm considering moving to over the air only.

          piratebay + slave torrent box + vlc streamer

          edit: vlc streamer is one of the only apps I've ever paid for and SERIOUSLY enjoy.

          I'm with JaredBush on this, stay away from piratebay and kickass. Quality is just poor, and you're risking a letter from your ISP, or worse. Stay with private trackers. Or invest in offshore seedbox and vpn.

            @marcinozga as a Canadian I have different rules, but that's a very valid point.

              ISP or some 3 letter gov agencies don't chase you there for torrenting?

                @marcinozga not like you southerners. Most I've ever gotten is a nasty letter from my ISP saying I'm a bad person and should feel bad. Zero consequences.

                      oh.. that looks kinda cool, though I'm thinking I can't hide it behind my TV very well.

                      Does it connect to other services like a Ruko or Amazon TV does?

                          It doesn't include Amazon or Roku, but it does have Youtube, and it'll pull any internet channels that are available.

                          Cooking shows, outdoors-man shows or whatever there are.

                            Vudu and Netflix are where we spend 99.9% of our non traditional TV time.
