Can anyone speak to this deal? I've been wanting to cut the cord for a while...
I tried an airtv, previous version, when free with a 3 month sling subscription. Terrible experience. I purchased different antenna and mounted in the attic, the airtv still had reception problems. Airtv/sling kelp blaming my antenna, my location, my wifi. It was terrible working with them. It didn't matter to them that my TV in the exact same location could receive. But it can't record, which is what sling + airtv was supposed to be able to do.
so I bought an hdhomerun and Plex and the OTA reception is great, plugged into the exact same antenna. I already owned a qnap nas to host plex. Yup, it can't complicated just to cut your local cable channel carriers grip on you.
Sling's programming guide is terrible. Never got used to it.
Or you could look into youtubetv if you're going to get an internet channel aggregator. They have a lot of local market broadcasters.
