Replacing Comcast Cable Box With Streaming Device

[Crosseyed Sniper]

Hello,

any of you using a streaming device to watch the channels you subscribe to, instead of renting their cable box? If so, what do you use, and how well does it perform? Just looking to save a little extra on my monthly bill by not having to rent one of their boxes.

 

Thanks

Not cutting cable, just looking into using a streaming device to watch the channels I am paying for and not having to rent one of their cable boxes to do so.

you have to check if your provider supports no cable box then...kind of a catch 22...you can get basic but subbed like hbo you require a box depending on provider

Comcast has a streaming app that only works on Roku. Some things might not be available on the App. But I know premium channels like HBO are. 

 

Just beware that the App is beta and it’s free for now. Meaning they might charge a fee in the future.
