KCF0107 09/10/17 2:30:28 PM #1:	Like Sling TV or Playstation Vue? My parents finally want to cut the cord but still want a cost-effective TV channel service to replace it. I just have Netflix and Hulu accounts, so I don't have any first-hand experience to help them. I have a couple questions: 1. Which service is generally considered the most reliable? I think that's what my parents are most worried about. 2. What are their user interfaces like? My parents can have a hard time adjusting to new technology, so they would prefer one that is considered user-friendly. 3. My parents do not want to have to get a smart TV, so what do you believe is the best device to hook up to their pre-existing TV? All I know is Roku, and I assume there are different products from them. 4. Do any of them offer live, local programming? I would upgrade my Hulu account to Hulu Live, but it doesn't offer several of my parents' most-watched channels. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:886357160] in Anyone use...

tyder21 09/10/17 2:51:17 PM #3:	Hooked my technology-challenged mother up with a Roku and Playstation Vue after she cut the cord. After doing a little research, I came to the conclusion that PSVue was generally considered more reliable than Sling TV. Sat down with her for about an hour before she got the UI down, but now she loves it. PSVue also has a built-in DVR feature that is decently easy to use. It automatically keeps episodes of TV shows that you "favorite" IIRC. As for live, local programming: I just got her a cheap antenna. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-indoor-hdtv-antenna/ --- http://letterboxd.com/tyder21/ BKSheikah Was Here <cite>tyder21 posted [p:886358255] in Anyone use...
