The Goat Pen

So, wait, you mean running a VPN on one device will affect my whole network or nope, it won't affect it?

I thought about getting rid of cable if Kodi worked pretty well but I like flipping quickly through the channels and Kodi is way too slow for that.

no it won't affect it

I like Kodi for live TV OK, if I'm looking to watch one specific thing, but channel flipping isn't a good use of it.

watching PPV events for free is however.

I need to figure out some things about how to best use it. There's a few shows that I need to catch up on now that I've gone through House of Cards and have no interest in Orange is the new black.

do you have Alexa on your fire stick?

I thought you said you were asking for a friend. Why did you lie, Stu?

No Alexa bc we use my in-laws Amazon login. But I did have to disconnect the VPN last night to use Prime &HBO. go on Firestick

At first you tried to cloak your larceny with "I'm asking for a friend," but now the excitement of tech talk has you blurting out all your darkest secrets...

hedge with a solid shot buckles saint's network of deceit

I would love to only have HBO/Netflix and amazon with access to every sporting event --likely could do that for less then 100 bucks a month

unfortunately I am married to the queen of the rest of the channels

HGTV is the bane of my existence...

I'm still thinking of going with a digital antenna and then Sling for the 20 channels we actually watch. My wife isn't quite that bad but she definitely watches shit I never watch

Yeah, she watches you as you sink further and further into into her La Brean trap...

Looks to me like you're the one in the sticky trap. Did you finally go back home to your couch?

If the MIF needs comforting, I'm available.

Fuck HGTV, E!, Bravo, Lifetime and Hallmark.

I dropped the $170 cable package for the $29.99 spectrum package. I lost comedy central and FXX but otherwise I get everything I want to watch.

Any tv series I want to watch, I download the entire season from putlocker, throw it on my hard drive and let Kodi set it up as part of the package of stuff available to me.

Then we can watch it whenever in any room.

Probably not the most effective way but I have my VPN for downloading and this way its always available locally.

I just downloaded the entire season of Preacher, and 3 seasons of a show called The Ranch in about 20 minutes of effort.

What do you download it to?

a usb hard drive.

if you have a fire stick then you need to have a hard drive either shared on your computer or on your router.

I bought a wireless router with a usb port, and put the hard drive on it. So I have fire sticks at 3 different TVs in the house and all of them point to the hard drive on the router to stream video. They all just connect to that wireless router and I tell Kodi that I have videos on that network drive.

2tb Hard drive was $80. Router was $80. Have about 1200 movies and 90 complete TV series and have used 1.3TB so far.

turned on the tv and hit 4 buttons and watched 3 Kentucky wildcats get picked

then hit another buitton and watched a replay of Jordan spieth playing golf

then hit another button and watched some WW1 miniseries on amazon and learned the Kaiser had plans to send 60 ships with 100,00 men to attack east coach and capture boston. I wish he had

then I hit another button and accessed contour tv and watched a pbs 50th anniversary sgt pepper for 20min
then the wife and I hit another button and got back in amazon for americans episode

I don't think I'd have the patience to download stuff

granted Netflix is 11/mos amazon is 99/year and cable is 159 month but it sure is convienient for less then 200 mos to see all that shit
