What has been your best purchase over the past year for less than $250?

Toronto Blue Jays playoff ticket against the Texas Rangers.

Will happily spend the same amount next year if they make the playoffs.

 

We missed tickets by a few minutes from someone selling on Facebook. (a friend of a friend)

 

what all can you do with mygia?

Cancel cable and watch almost anything, including live sports through your internet connection on your TV.

CoBF subscription.  :P (though maybe that was past past year)

Any good links to share about this? How is it different from Roku / Apple TV?

We haven't cut yet but there's a subreddit about cord cutting. https://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/

For live sports the threads at reddit are mostly all illegal streams, so how far you go depends on your conscience.

Just search "streams" on reddit and all leagues have their own subreddit about live games.

 

We're most likely going with a local guy who programs the Android box for all you would need. It comes loaded with the app for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc (you would need a subscription from those vendors) and all the other apps that allow you to stream via torrents or streaming sites (no subscription since it's illegal streaming).

 

From what I understand, Roku, myGica etc. come preloaded with all the subscription apps already on them but you would have to add any other apps to stream the illegal stuff yourself.

I thought about streaming sports illegally and cut the my Dish but decided I can afford it... So yes, I'm paying an arm and a leg for live sports.  Go Warriors!
