I just made the leap for the playoff push and early season Brewers and purchased a subscription to Vue... but where are the Bucks? Which level do you need, and what is the channel called?

Anyone have a home security system they put in themselves?

I recently bought a house, not sure if it has a security system in place, but I don't think it does. I was going to buy the Arlo Pro cameras to hook up and put at both entry points, but apparently, to my girlfriend that isn't good enough. She wants to go all out and buy some $600 system thats all wireless and DIY which is fine, but we live in Fitchburg, WI right outside of Madison....nobody is going to break in.

Any recommendations?

None of my links or suggestions violate the realgm TOS or are against WI law. They might, however, violate your ISP's TOS. Which again, isn't illegal.

I'm just making a suggestion. Any asking for or advice given on how to find pirated streams has forever been grounds for suspensions or bans. But you do you.

I mean, you mentioned xxxxxxxs, and the only reason to use Kodi is to find pirated broadcasts.

Guys, it's not always black and white but refrain from posting this stuff. I don't have time, especially on a game night to go through this stuff. Thanks.

Anyone have any experience with SlingTV? Is there a way to DVR that I'm missing? I use the app on my Xbox One, got the package that carries NBAtv, and it won't let me pause content... I'm going to miss the first hour or so of the game and I really want to record what I miss. If it's not possible, last minute legal alternatives would be appreciated.

PS Vue has a recording option IIRC.

Thanks. Actually just figured out that you can get a 7-day Free Trial using DirecTv Now. Go Big package carries NBAtv and you can pause the content.

Sorry as I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseam but what's the current best legal way to get FS WI and cut cable? Last time I checked PSVue didn't have it. I'm hearing more and more about YouTube tv but for the life of me I can't find any information or a simple list of ways to get fswi. Thanks

I'm in Kenosha and can verify PS Vue doesn't have FS Wisconsin, though others here have said it does. Is it really that regional? I do get CSN.

Alright. Thinking about making the jump. Got some questions.

I'll be cutting the cord but want to have a three Tv set up - living room bedroom and office. What is the best way to do this? I already have a fire TV for one room with Kodi.

Should I just get two additional fire sticks or is there something else others prefer?

I need sports especially WI sports so I'm thinking bout borrowing my families FSN app login. However is there another app to use?

Lastly I'd sling TV the best for live TV?

Sorry if I didn't read all the thread and if my questions have been answered. Thanks in advance

Not using Plex anymore since everything because so wildly available via streaming channels. No need to keep local files. The cost for Plex Live doesn't make it worth just getting over the air content a little easier. You need a Plex subscription, a tuner, and an antenna, all so you can watch your locals.
