Weekly Rewind
College football without cable: Last week, I gave a rundown of how to watch NFL games without a cable subscription. College football is more complicated, since you’re dealing with so many teams across so many conferences, each with their own TV network licensing deals, but it’s doable.
This guide on SBNation is pretty helpful for sorting through it all. The gist is similar to the NFL: You’ll ideally use an antenna for major network coverage, plus Sling TV or PlayStation Vue for individual conferences (and major network broadcasts in some markets). You might also be able to fill the gaps with someone else’s cable login.
TiVo Tablo clone inbound? Dave Zatz keeps coming up with scoops on cord-cutting hardware. His latest: TiVo is reportedly working on a networked DVR for over-the-air channels. Plug an antenna into the box, plug the box into your router, and you can stream live or recorded TV to other connected devices (phones, tablets, streaming boxes, and so on).
The solution sounds similar to Nuvyyo’s Tablo DVR, but the formula has room for improvement. For instance, I’d love to see a device like this with cloud-based DVR service, so you don’t have to bring your own hard drive.or try to connect with your home broadband from outside the house. But whether TiVo goes that far or even releases a product–especially given its decreased interest in consumer hardware–is unclear.
