Hey guys,

I have the modbro app for fs1 and fs2 but it doesnt seem to be reliable. Lags a lot

BT Sports, SKy SPorts etcetc stream pretty smoothly. Any chance itd be on one of those random sports channels?

I also have a couple apps on kodi and one even leads me to a link thats not yet available for but says Monster Energy Cup

Any channels or apps you guys recommend?

I actually dig the PlayStation app out of all of them. They just added cbssn again and it has FS1 and FS2. Like $40.00/mo. I've kept that and basic direct tv , but also use many other apps on the firebox , like Kodi. Which is freakin awesome!

I can vouch for the Playstation Vue app as well. Been using it since June or so since I cut out DirecTV and just kept Comcast for basic cable (& ISP). PS Vue has a Free Trial period for 5 or 7 days so today sounds like its the perfect day to try it out.

I tried it tonight, fucking waste of time and money. You don't get FS2 unless you upgrade to the blue package $24. And the stream was so bad I had to jump in my van and go to the bar after messing with it for an hour.

PlayStation Vue is great. Thats what I have with Amazon Fire TV. Using it to sign into the Fox Sports Go app on Fire TV right now. Works wonderfully. $40 a month. I switched to this last year, upgraded to 1gb fiber optics and still saved over $100 a month compared to my old cable bill.

I found Sling TV is garbage, LAGGY! Youtube TV works great, no lag. Excellent quality and I can DVR and save.

Sling TV live was horrible at first but since I was recording it to their cloud I tried watching the recorded version of it and it was fine. Kind of like a 5 minute buffer so you get rid of the lag.

i ended up catching a stream from somewhere inside my kodi build.

kind of funny how the pay internet tv service I had wouldn't work worth a shit but the pirated feed I found worked perfectly.

....

lol, that was forced pirating out of desperation.

I agree. I have had good luck with Play Station Vue on the Fire TV. I tried before with Kodi to get FS1 and FS2 but it was always unreliable. I watched the MEC on Fox Sports Go at my cabin and it worked perfectly!! The comercials are different than what you see on FS2 and that seems to be the only difference.
