if you are low on cash, go buy slingtv orange and blue on ebay

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 05:45 PM

Good recommendation Rudy and I am on Sling trial now. I had them in 2016 and there was lag (not IAG) during some big events, I called support and they just told me that's kind of what happens.

I haven't noticed any lag this time around so if this other thing doesn't work out I might stick w them.

Coach Xfinity is saying 3 days now to prepare small shipment? Wtf man?

Posting from phone and losing my f*kking mind man.

They must've hired illegals again.

Be careful...........many of these scams and trials that end

**grease lightnin** · 01-06-20, 05:54 PM

Yeah you gotta keep an eye on your trials.

Netflix impressed me in reminding me that my trial was running out in a few days. Amazon Prime has a setting to end the subscription when the trial ends in advance. Them I kept. Looks like Fobol TV will remind you a day in advance as well.

If any charge my card before my trial runs out there will be absolute Hell to pay.

i have directv that ive covered

i also bought a year or two of slingtv...im on about 4 months now for 9.99.....there was a day when it wasnt renewed so i thought i was scammed

maybe i got lucky but im still good on slingtv

i never had a buffering issue and my internet sucks

i might be a bit delayed, but never buffering

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 06:04 PM

How you get it for $9.99? They offer you that when it ran out?

**jjgold** · 01-06-20, 06:27 PM

sling does not buffer, it is not an illegal service like Sportz Prime

I got fukked on ebay a few times even though small amount of cash, account worked for 1 week and then died out

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 06:31 PM

Coach did Rudy just try to lead me into getting ripped off like you did?

I saw him encouraging a guy that was e-stalking me in the sbr awards thread so I wouldn't be surprised.

He can be a real two faced bitch.

I think he might be in on that w those scammers.

I'm sorry that happened to you big guy.

**jjgold** · 01-06-20, 06:34 PM

EBAY seems to good to be true with these streaming services, it is so cheap I guess why not try

Same with SportzPrime $8 so who cares if it breaks down

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 06:40 PM

I haven't used eBay since idk 2004?

Wrote it off as useless with the rise of Amazon. Bid? Bargain? No thanks.

Coach when my Xfinity is set up sometime mid year (I estimate) we can meet and make a ruckus in Sportz Prime chat.

**RudyRuetigger** · 01-06-20, 06:57 PM

im telling you right now

i bought slingtv from ebay

you cant record or do stupid shit, just watch what is listed plus any movies they are available as far as i know

never had a problem excet 1 day about 28days in and was ready to cuss someone out

**RudyRuetigger** · 01-06-20, 07:00 PM

you go to ebay and look up prices, well all over the map

you gotta keep clicking to find a reputable one plus offering both, some even offer netflix when i checked

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 07:01 PM

Interesting on eBay.

I know a few that have been scammed there so I will pass.

Ty though.

It says my order is pending and it has said that since last night.

Did this happen to you? If you try to send support an inquiry it goes to a dead link.

My card was charged.

That is actually a really good IPTV, it offers the most sportschannels (including the overflow channels), and have had very few issues.

**stevek173** · 01-06-20, 07:16 PM

Good to hear RB, ty.

I have 3 of them, each offers a little something different. I wasn't aware of the problems last night.

**Big Bear** · 01-06-20, 07:38 PM

I used to but I just cancelled it and I use my ex-girlfriends netflix account now

**stevek173** · 01-08-20, 02:52 PM

Up and running.

V Nice USCPhilly, fellas.

Thank you!

Only thing I hate it they have a blue font when showing the current movie playing. Gets confusing

**stevek173** · 01-08-20, 03:15 PM

I'll keep that in mind, ty.

I assume you guys use the webplayer then?

I didn't try to use anything else yet.

No Firestick here, just laptop.

**stevek173** · 01-13-20, 02:10 AM

Yeah idk. Webplayer stopped working, so tried to use the other Webplayer link and my AVG stopped it because of a phishing attempt.

It looks like all of the installation stuff is for Firestick and MAG, not sure what to do on a computer besides the webplayer.

Sucks because it was really good.

That’s easy, google IPTV Smarters download for windows. There are many ways to sign up for Nitro. The video is pretty easy to follow. Most everyone pays thru PayPal.

I guess this since I'm Windows then. Tks again RB.

Sportzprime Webplayer still doesn't work.
And still thanks USCP, Sportzprime looks awesome if you have an Android device.

Guess I should've researched that first

that part is on me. I don't.

Also, you can't speak to anyone in chat, just all FAQ stuff. So basically no live support at all.

**stevek173** · 01-13-20, 04:09 PM

Ok it's back up now.

What sucked yesterday is I missed the Packers game because of the outage.

What I want to know is, if you are using the Android hardware/software - do you still have the long outages?

I know that because I am on Windows OS I am dependent on the Webplayer so I don't know if that is subject to longer outages or not.

If it is I'll likely switch to what RB recommended. Or do what coach said, one of the big companies and this as backup.

I mean for $8/mth, why not.

Sucks but you really need two services, a cheap backup for this reason. I have smarters on Windows also. I had to look it up on a youtube video.

IDK if the entire service was down, but these games are also shown on Canadian TV. I usually watch them on there or smaller market channels as there is less buffering.

I'll likely go the same direction. I mean $8/mth isn't much to pay for just about every channel/game that is worthwile in the world even if it flakes out sometimes, right?

Still need the consistent staple though, so it makes sense.

Canadian channels to avoid buffering delays, I never would have thought of that.
Very much appreciated insight man.

**jjgold** · 01-13-20, 06:05 PM

have a backup youtube tv perfect compliment

still only a total of $60 a month for everything

**stevek173** · 01-13-20, 06:19 PM

Youtube was good, I tried it Coach - very good. That and Hulu the best, Sling good too. Fubo for locals good but no ESPN.

Those trials expired and with Sportzprime's outage last night I tried Vidgo and it sucks. No Windows stream/software and keeps freezing on my phone.

That's the worst one that I've seen.

I will probably end up with Smarters and possibly Sportzprime.

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 01-13-20, 06:52 PM

Sorry Stevie. Don’t know much about computers & how they work with the service

Smarters is the only one I know that works with Windows. If someone knows of another, I would like to hear.

About Sportsprime's outage, I've had it for 4 months and that is the first outage I can remember.

**stevek173** · 01-13-20, 06:55 PM

All good Philly, glad you brought it up in the first place man, even though I've been trying to figure some things out on my end it's a tremendous bang for the buck for sure, much appreciated.

Oh wow RB that is great news man about the only outage in 4 months. Awesome.

Sounds good on Smarters being the Windows option.

Still under $30 for all that, very cool.

I am having no problems watching SportzPrime right now on windows. There are a number of android apps for a phone/tablet that offer great featutes.
