To Cordcutters: What is your setup?
 

I dropped cable and have been glued to Netflix lately, but I have a feeling that might get old soon.

So right now I have my PS3 and Xbox w/ Netflix and then I have an OTA antenna that gets CBS, Fox, and ABC.

I want to be able to get the best bang for my buck with the most content possible.

Thanks

I use/subscribe to playon ( http://playon.tv ) it works across all my devices pretty well - I use it to stream media I download as well.

GoogleTV in the bedroom, PS3 in the living room, xbox360 + tablets and smartphones and wii etc

all access netflix / playon - Amazon Video to download ad hoc

We recently got "cable" because it was cheaper when i established service with Comcast to get basic cable (20 channels) with the internet than it was to do internet alone - i get faster speeds too

Also my Slingbox at my parents house who has Dish - hooked it up to the basement TV and Have had no problems

I don't think I could ever watch everything on Netflix that I want to. My queue is like 150 deep and has been that way for years now. So many TV shows, foreign movies and documentaries to catch up on.

Though I haven't done it, I've had a few friends swear by Apple TV, or Hulu/Amazon/Netfilx etc via PS3 or other device.

My good buddy has done the latter for over a year now and doesn't regret a second of it.

I've been without cable for 2 years now, and don't miss it a bit. My setup consists of an AppleTV2 running XBMC. I have an OTA HD antenna, which gives me all the local channels. And I rely on Netflix and XBMC for all the rest.

If you're interested, I made a long drunken demo of my XBMC setup quite a while back. It has changed immensely since then, but it should give you an idea of what's possible. Suffice to say, XBMC and the plugins have made dramatic improvements since I recorded this video:

Right now though, AppleTV2s are very hard to find, and AppleTV3 can't run XBMC because it can't be jailbroken. So I'd recommend looking at one of the Android set top boxes for an XBMC solution.

One of my favorites right now, and likely my next solution, is the JynxBox HD.

What HD OTA antennas do you guys have?

Go outside>?

I just got a cheapie $25 powered antenna. From Target I think. But it picks up every OTA station available in KC.

Hmmm I'm moving into a new place next Friday and I was going to order one online.. Looking for recommendations.

Unless you need to pick up stations 50+ miles away, usually a cheapie will do just fine. Depending on your local topography at least. I'd try a cheap one from a local place first, and return it if it's not enough. My buddy bought a $200 one here in KC, and I get just as many stations, with just as good of quality, on my $25 unit.

Gotcha. Thanks

Playon to stream Hulu to my PS3, OTA local stations, and netflix streaming. If what I want isn't on one of those sources, I, ahem, find other means........

Mine is a 3 foot section of 2x4 with 6 wire hangers, 10 washers and screws, and a balun.

Cost me $10 to make.

So can you stream regular hulu through a PS3 or 360?

Or only Hulu+ ?

Is there anyway to do this with multiple TVs without having to do more than one setup?

I've got four TVs that I'd want to do this to.
