Finally jumping over to the firestick.

Recommended Posts

After getting rid of cable in favor of hulu, Netflix and amazon prime I'm now getting rid of all those to go with a jailbroken firestick and I guess I'm using terrarium.

 

After hearing everyone in my hospital talk about how good they are it's time I gave it a shot. Do any of you fuc*ers use them? Are the pretty hassle free?

I have a streaming box that does the same thing. It's getting to be more of a hassle since they are cracking down on the providers.

 

I think I need a new build or something.  I had access to everything in the goddamn world and now selecting movies by year it's only listing the most popular or higher rated movies from that year.

 

Lately between Netflix, Hulu plus and Amazon prime video I haven't even been using my android box though.

So is it just having to update more often to get around it or what?

 

There's less providers.  Often end up having to watch something in 720 instead of 1080.  My model is the CSA93 android TV-box and it was awesome for over a year.  If you read my response to Juice there's not nearly as many movies available to stream now.

 

I've just been using my roku 3 with what you said you are getting rid of.

From what I've been told the only pain in the **** is stuff that's still in theaters, pretty much everything that's been released outside of theaters and put on TV is easy to find and good quality.

It was like that for some time.  As I said I may need a different build or whatever the alternative to Kodi is.  I have a Kodi build and everything you just said was once true.  If it was new in theaters you were guaranteed crap quality.  However sometime after a few weeks when it was still in theaters you could get some good ones.

 

I'm not stressing over it right now but I'm going to have to consult a friend that knows more about the chit.

Basically you just have to update or download new app more often. You can find the good ones on Reddit and there should be an install function. You enter the URL of the new app and it should work fine. Before I would have lists of favorite shows and it would track the episodes I watched since I used it like a DVR if I missed something, now since I switch apps often I lose the tracking of that but I don't use it as often so not the end of the world.

I quit doing full builds and just add the new repos individually. Right now I use Neptune Rising and Placenta which are both controlled by the same person but scrape different sources which is nice. It was a pain to try to figure that thing out though, now that I know how to do it I can add a new repos in a few minutes and not have dozens more that I will never use.

I use Incursion, Placenta, and Magic Dragon. Magic Dragon has the best "New Movies", feature that isn't cams.

I might have to consult with you gentleman at a later date.  Just a few simple questions.  I think my 58 year old mother knows more about this chit than me.

cable is so stupid, who with a brain would actually wait to watch something that wasn't live in a specific timeslot when they could just stream it for free with the convenience of watching it when they pleased?

Comcast allows you to watch pretty much any new show OnDemand whenever you want. Timeslots are a thing of the past, cheapo.

You sound pretty guilty.  You know you are lying to yourself and us to try to avoid guilt.  No need to lie to us.  

 

That said...  Do what you want.  None of us care what you do in the privacy of your home.  

 

I've not used my Firestick in a while.  I'm too far behind on other things I want to watch.  That said, my biggest complaint would be that kodi streams would frequently be interrupted.  It became too much of a hassle.

Yeah, and DVR also works great.  

 

Funny how all the other people at the "hospital" are doing it.  Rich wealthy mofos that profit off the system love to cheat the system.

ive been using both of those through kodi

 

wait a minute i think that was you who mentioned neptune rising to me  in the first place. and then i figured it all out. i got a bunch of other kodi addons for live sports streaming and stuff,   but the sad thing is that theres like a gazillion things on there and all ive really used kodi for is to watch some 24/7 stream of random episodes of COPS and Breaking Bad through ccloud tv. but theres all kinds of other stuff on there. not just live streams daily of network tv broadcasting and stuff.  like if you have a favorite show and its a popular series then its probably on there too and u can just tune in and watch episodes at random

 

i seem to find more of what i want through placenta, and sometimes i have connection issues on neptune rising just trying to connect to stream the same movie or episode when it runs just fine off placenta but i think its all trying to play off the same hosts anyways.  maybe i just didnt configure it properly but i never really messed around with the settings and i can always get it to play whatever im looking for anyways

 

i still havent cut the cable yet. i dont even know why i even pay for this chit anymore. i havent watched f*ck all on tv in the last few months except for a bunch of hockey games.

I watch 30 mins of news a day and maybe 2 hours max of movies/TV. All my movies and TV shows come via d/l. 5 mins work a day and I have whatever I want for the evening. All those other hardware based sources seem to be a pain in the **** with the constant updates and shutdowns. Torrents seem to be rolling along fine still.

I'm running the No Limits build which if I'm not mistaken uses Placenta.

Placenta is great, but that has got to be the worst name. Do you Placenta users notice the "preparing speculum" bit when it's searching for feeds?

this is the main guy I get my stuff from and he is sorting a new resources for the best apps.  its new, they are going to be adding stuff all the time and it makes installing stuff like terrarium a breeze

 

100% no bs with this guy. anything you think they should add can always ask and he will let you know
