Interested in finding sports channel for NFL and NBA without paying 70 USD per month. The internet does not
always have the game or it's a bad connection, starts and stops. Thanks

I have a tv service for $8 a month that once you set it up, you just turn it on and watch like youre watching a cable box. tv guide and all with movies and series on demand included. No need to go downloading lists from different places and trying to load them into apps. there are 2 apps available that you can choose from that will connect to my service. one is free but doesnt have the best layout and not as user friendly. the other costs $25 one time and has the feel like you are using a cable box. here is a quick video link to show what youll see if you use it with my service.
I have quite a few members from here already happily using the service. you will need at least 20Mbps solid internet service .. thats the most important thing if you are in the DR. message me if youre interested

I am never going to be able to look at all of the channels you provide. Thousands upon thousands of channels.

Greg, I have 2 questions about your service.

1. Does closed captioning function on your service? My landlord provides cable as part of my rent, but the captioning is not available, so it is useless for me.

2. Will your service function on an older television and/or can it be run on a laptop?

Thanks!

I am not too tech savvy but we got a fire stick and learned that the sports and teams my husband wanted to watch were not available to our IP address. So then we got a US IP address. It was the one recommended for fire stick. Free for 3 months then 69.99 each month, I believe. Quite expensive. We also have the local cable, but it doesn't show the games my husband wants to watch. The local cable came in a package with internet. I asked about cancelling the cable and just having internet. The savings was 200 pesos. Big deal. I said forget it. We will keep cable.

I will check out your cable service, JD. If anyone has other suggestions, I am interested.

You can get ANY game you want right here for ZERO. Just hook an HDMI cord from your computer to the TV for better viewing. No Firestick, just a computer and internet................

HI, well I dont know how old your TV is, if its a flat screen and has an hdmi port then you can use it with a firestick or an android TV box. if its a tube tv, then im pretty sure you're out of luck because no modern devices that i know of broadcast on channel 3 anymore. From what i've heard, they are selling TCL brand tv's all over the DR and they are android operating system TV's. Those also work. Its like having an android TV box built into the TV. As for closed captioning, if you use the paid app I mentioned above, then any live tv show being broadcast with closed captioning should be available with my service with closed captioning. Many of the movies on demand do not have closed captioning capabilities but many of the tv series on demand do. not all though.

Thanks for the reply. If not closed captioned, I will have difficulty. Have bilateral severe hearing loss so it is a necessity for me.

I have his service, almost everything has CC option but sometimes it’s not automatic, you have to click to turn it on.

Thanks. you probably know better than me because I never really use it. I just did a quick test on a few channels when he asked.

Why don't you use a VPN instead to change your IP adress? I pay $120.00 a year with expressVPN and I can view US programming on my firestick.
