Forums - Gaming - Best alternative to cable tv?

My primary recommendation is piracy!

But look into PlayStation Vue when it hits, as that's a pretty progressive alternative. You might also find interest in services like CrunchyRoll, Funimation, Hulu Plus, and Netflix.

The answer to your question is illegal. :3



Get a cheap android TV box from EBay and install an app called Show box. You can now watch any movie or TV show your heart desires. You can also try this out if you have an android phone.

I haven't used cable since I was twelve (I am twenty-one now.) I mostly use Netflix, Hulu, and of course piracy (mostly low-quality streaming sites.) to watch television shows that I like. Then if I really like it I'll buy the dvd/blu-ray boxset when it releases.

I could write a novel on how piracy is wrong and everything, but the bolded part is actually the most vile thing one can do.



Pornhub is a good alternative.

I can write a book on how force-induced monopolies are wrong as well...

If the original party doesn't want to play fairly, I'm not going to play fairly. 

I'm not going to pay for an HBO subscription just to watch Game of Thrones, but I'll buy the DVD/Blu-ray boxsets when they are released because I like the books and I think the show is a good adaptation. Plus, on the low-quality streaming site it was low-quality and I'd prefer to watch the show in HD with good sound. 



If you have Verizon Fios Internet try to Fios App on Xbox. I use that and Netflix.
