    Then you only need free wifi. Panera bread, libraries, etc.

    Yup, I did the same thing. Bought an amazon fire stick, jail broke it and installed the Kodi App. Then added the SportsDevil app. Can watch every live sports event or just tune into particular channels.

    Can somebody explain this? I Googled Matticom and Google warned it might be hacked. I looked up reviews for the device and none said anything about watching cable sports for free.

    I was having trouble funding my coke habit, but then I discovered there's a great way to make money. When people aren't home, I just visit their homes and take their stuff.

    Oh, wait, that would be stealing. And that's wrong.

    If ESPN wanted to show 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. EST games live on weekdays, who could they talk into scheduling that early? College baseball? NBA D-League? D-II college basketball? D-I women's?

    Know what else is stealing? Making people buy stations like ESPN as part of a package instead of giving them true a la carte options. The likes of ESPN got fat off people who didn't even necessarily want it or have any interest in sports. The market is correcting itself. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to slam the door on jailbreaking the Amazon firestick just as they managed to shut down other conduits.

    Horseapples. They're selling a product. You don't want the product, move on. Or, you know, steal it like you seem to be doing.

    How do you know? ESPN gets the money it gets because the cable companies think the channels are worth it. HGTV gets shit from the cable companies because nobody watches it.

    In the end it's a business model. If you don't like it fine, but don't throw around cartel bullshit.

    You obviously have no idea what you're talking about in terms of how channels are packaged and sold. Go educate yourself
