This is so detailed, especially the ISP bit. Thank you!

Your article points out the main reason why I haven't gotten into sports; even though I'd like to follow a bit of hockey, F1, and UK soccer. It's complicated and expensive as fuck. $50/month for a subscription, and it doesn't even cover all of the games for the same team? I'm interested in putting something on, once in a while; but it's not worth $50 to maybe use it once a month or two
Thank you though for putting together these highly detailed instructions that are only for educational purposes!
The only logical solution is to sail the seven seas.
I guess they think that you watch with friends anyway
Yes sadly there's a bit of a stranglehold on the market regarding sports. It's the one thing that is held very close to the chest by the large Corps & broadcasters.
Thanks for taking a read through! Lots more to come ;)
Seeing that cable management, I know why you'd want to "cut the cord". (Scnr! 😁)
Hahaha yes... I agree... I was very hesitant to include this as my header pic but I was like, eehhh, it's realistic at least! The key is it shows certain 'apps' running on that Google TV. 😆
True that! I'm running plenty of those apps myself (though on a dumb display powered by a Linux machine), so I can appreciate the setup! Since you're running Google TV: have you tried running Newpipe? Imho, it's a no-brainer replacement for the YouTube app and blows it out of the water both with regard to the features it packs and the privacy advantages it brings.
OOhhh I didn't know about this!!! Thanks so much, I'll be playing with that later...
