Techno newb is cutting the cable

  • I may have neglected to mention I got the nexus player from amazon at a very good price. Likely because there's a new one coming out. The remote is shit for Kodi but with a wireless keyboard mouse combo, it is as smooth as silk. Just amazing.
  • After being ripped off by Cogeco Cable just to watch the WSOP Main Event on TSN2, is there any better idiot-proof way to get rid of cable than a pre-configured MyGica 1800E? My better half watches in the living room with cable TV and an LG Blu-ray player with Smart TV, while I have a 42" LG HDTV that I use as a second poker screen with my laptop. Do I simply connect MyGica to my router and HDTV? I have rarely watched TV for years, but interested in shows such as World Poker Tour (FSN) and Game of Thrones (HBO).

    Will I need a second MyGica for the living room TV? Should I buy a MyGica remote control with full keyboard? I may need to hire chaimr1924 the geek to teach an old dog new tricks. :wink:
    I also have the mygica and got rid of all my bell tv services two months ago. Don't miss it one bit. I picked up the remote control that has the full keyboard on it and it is idiot proof.

  • Hey Buddy go to tvaddons.ag forum you can sign up and have the friendly experts there for all the answers
  • When you go that site download the Kodi app for TV you might like that and it is a no brainer you wont need a MYGICA :-X
  • Thanks to chaimr1924 for telling me about Kodi for Windows and I have started watching new movies. Has anybody found World Poker Tour episodes from FSN Season 13 such as WPT Fallsview?

  • you mifgt find that on you tube make a search therehttp://www.tvaddons.ag/theroyalwe-kodi-addon/ read this link for a good new search engine
  • I've searched & asked, and the WPT Season 13 episodes from FSN cable TV do not seem to be available yet. I'll bring your large-size poker hoodie next time I see you at GBH or other casino.

    For my better half's TV in the living room, which of Amazon Fire TV, ROKU 3 or MyGICA is best to cut the cable TV cord permanently?

  • I have the montreal episodes (E12/E13/E14) if you want them, but no sign of the fallsview episode yet (its S13E23 if anyone does come across a source)
  • Since moose is the best EV-maximizing shopper I know, I'll probably buy this KODI player by tonight's deadline before I drive to Niagara Falls. I may need chaimr1924 the tech geek to show me how to use it tho.

  • Buy it before it sells out.
  • Ordered, along with my daughter's Christmas wish of a One Direction life size cutout, which is as expensive. :redface: I think I'll figure out how to assemble the 1D cutout before the Kodi player.

    I also ordered one to give to another newby friend as a chanukah gift.I am sure I will have to set it up for him as other people have been asking me.I will do a custom Kodi called the Beast which hsa everything you could wish for.Even Live TV.I did not order the cardboard One Direction
    lol
  • chaimr1924 already received his Goobang Doo box, so when Fedex buzzed, I excitedly opened the door but it was not Goobang Doo and only the Harry Styles cutout. :'(

  • At least now you can use the diamond lanes to get to GBH
  • I have been getting rides from Irunit4times & PocketTwos to WPT Montreal and local casinos in the HOV lanes, and I'm the dummy passenger! :redface:

  • I got a Nexus player for $69.99 two weeks ago and my co-worker put Kodi on it, has everything. Remote isn't ideal maybe but it works - you can also apparently get the Kore app on your android phone to turn it into a remote for Kodi.

    Once I speed up my internet I'm getting rid of satellite. We really don't watch much TV anyway though.

    If you promise to help another buddy with his just-arrived Goobang Doo later, I will bring your poker hoody to Sunday's food bank event.
  • After figuring out how to use my iPad as a remote control, mirror videos from my smart devices to the TV, load subtitles, and teach my wife where to find all her favourite channels in one place, I phoned my cable company to cut the cord. :tongue: I was transferred to the Disconnections Department, who offered to discount our cable package cost to only $5. :o

    Thanks to my Kodi coach chaimr1924, and moose. Now I can go back to grinding poker.

  • For those of you who don't know, the developer who created the Genesis addon is no longer supporting it. Glitches are popping up and no patches are being created. He has however created Exodus which appears to have some newer features and is a bit faster at finding streamers. Seems to be getting good reviews.
  • Ya I actually d/d'ed exodus last night to replace genesis. Very similar and great addon
  • I tried exodus yesterday on android. How do you save your favorite shows so you don't have to search each time?
  • ThEre has been an update to genesis called SCRIPTO a while back.if you liked genesis get this one.Welcome to the world of kodi Updates

    Anyone figured this out yet? I haven't bothered searching and my wife's been grinding me about this over the last couple of days.
  • if you go to tv addons forum they will give you all the info.OR post your question on you tube you will get a lot of answers from experts there
  • Genesis is still working fine for me.....as is 1 channel. If they ever stop working I'll explore other apps.
  • I was planning to watch Batman v Superman on IMAX with my kid, but chaimr1924 convinced me to watch it on Kodi instead. I like going out with my kid to the movies, but with > SIXTY comic book movies coming up in the next few years, I think I'll skip the theatre for the ones with bad reviews.

  • I'm super late to the party, but I'm finally here with my very own Android Box (MXQ Pro 4K)

    Any tips would be helpful.
  • Right now the app that is working the best for me is Exodus.
