Re: [AFMUG] OT Interesting OTA box
I think Philo may be a better value.
The Sling Roamio has a DVR, but this new one I posted does too and it is much
cheaper.

Do they have a new one with DVR as well? I am about to ditch my basic cable in
favor of OTA combined with DirectTVNow, Netflix, And Amazon Prime. Any others
out there proved to be worth something?

I remember reading your experience when going into this, and I was probably
more disappointed at the broad outage the day I signed up. Shit happens. I'll
give it some time, it seems to be working well beyond that.
Are you using the AirTV box?

I talked with the dish network guy at WISPA America, this is the product
Sling TV is helping push:
https://www.airtv.net/products/airtv_player/
At home I have been less then impressed with the reliability of Sling.TV,
the first day I setup my demo there was a 15 hour outage. The integration
between OTA and sling.tv is awesome though, seamless I would say. The box is a
Android TV box, so I'm sure there is a certain amount of customization that
could be done for power users. Box outputs 4k, and seems to have good wireless
performance overall (I've used netflix/sling.tv on it). It's a neat concept,
but a little bit expensive to start up and I'm not sure I'm sold on Sling, even
if it does seem to work very well when it works.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Interesting OTA box
We have been using the Channel Master DVR+ for a number of years. We live
in an area that never has not, and probably never will have any sort of
wireline TV (cable, or anything). So we got this thing, as we do get 50 or
60 OTA channels at the present time. It also has OTT channels that you can
sign up with (but we've never used them). For our OTT stuff we use a Roku.
