Dispatches From The Front
Hi Tom and Brian,
First the tip. Two words... Go Bag. My wife and I travel a lot and have created 2 electronics "Go" bags, one for short trips and one for longer ones. Each bag contains 30 pin and Lightening cables, USB wall plugs, Mini USB, Micro USB, Multi card readers for cameras, random USB drives (some with shows and movies on them), mini plug bars (with USB ports), mini flash light and most importantly an HDMI cable with converter for both 30 pin and lightening to play Hulu, Netflix, Amazon etc... on most* hotel TVs. (Also tape for covering various glowing things around the room.) Recently I've thought about getting a ChromeCast to replace the bulky HDMI cable and adapter. It would be much nicer than having an iPad hooked up directly to the TV which requires getting up and going to the TV to change shows. Having a bright yellow or red one would make it easy to find in the Go bag, so as soon as we arrive I can grab it and throw something on the TV while we unpack.
Just a thought and maybe a tip for those who travel a lot.

Hello Tom, Brian and Bryce
I've recently been using an addon for Kodi called PsuedoTV Live and I wanted to share it with some more cordkillers. This addon allows you to build channels from your own media in Kodi and will present the channels in a guide format to simulate a cable service. When the addon is started it generates streams from your library and is already playing. So if you wanted to create your own SlingTV or Cable like experience you can. It even works with a HDHomeRun for antenna channels.
I made a short video (2:30 long) with my brief review and a short screencast on what it looks like. I uploaded to YouTube so I'm not trying to send you a giant file. I love the show and I just wanted to pass along an addon I found that's perfect for cord cutters. I'm in no way affiliated with Kodi or this addon, just sharing my experience.
You guys rock! Thanks!

"I did it! (sorta"
I know, I know, where you want yada yada.
I sent back the fios tv boxes, turned off my home phone, bought a cell phone amplifier. Just me, 75/75 and Netflix/prime/etc.
Except Verizon FIOS has a plan for local channels only that actually lowers the price of the plan by $20. Just send back the box and run the coax into the back of the tv and viola!
Good for me and the sports. But did I hurt the cause? Do we have a cause?

I just wanted to say that another place where offline viewing is important and/or needed is RV camp grounds. As someone who goes RVing several times a year I can say that camp grounds don't always have wi-fi or if they do, it is usually pretty bad. Labor day weekend my wife and I went RVing and it rained and she was sick (great combo I know!). Luckily, I used the DirecTV GenieGO app to download several shows to our tablet and we were able to catch up on our shows without using and bandwidth. I can't imagine the price (since we did have 4G) that that kind of viewing would added to our bill. Unlike the farmer who e-mailed in last week we only have a 4 GB plan.
