I do not have cable for my downstairs TV, so I figured I would start the "cut the cord" experiment down there. I just bought Amazon Fire TV, which I love. Downloaded Kodi and am blown away by the potential.
In essence, for $190 (Amazon Fire TV and Prime) I instantly have 90% of cable (including premiums). If you factor in the expanse of the Kodi add-ons, I have something that exceeds cable by miles. The Holy Grail seems to be finding live HDTV (I already have the networks via antenna).
I cannot understand why everyone doesn't do this.
