New to streaming your help is appreciated.
I would not recommend that. You'll be disappointed. Stay away from any pre-loaded device with Kodi. You will not find a live sports option that works within Kodi. And if you did, you wouldn't want a VPN for it. You only want a VPN service when you want something to spoof geolocation for an app that checks for it. With pirate streams, you never have to spoof your location.
Just get a normal Firestick or FireTV, and use Firefox to access r/nflstreams or sportsurge.net. Then sideload the Cinema app for free movies/tv. If you want live TV, look into Sling/Hulu Live/Youtube TV/etc. If you get one of the live TV services, you could then use a geolocation spoofer to spoof your location for local KC sports. That's a much better solution than a VPN. Because a VPN will reduce your connection speed by more than half. The way a VPN works is that all your internet traffic is sent across the internet to that VPN server and back to you, which often reduces your throughput to shit depending on how much bandwidth the VPN server has. Like I said avoid VPN unless you absolutely have to and there aren't other ways to spoof location. [Reply]

The problem with this is custom builds are dependent on a server that will probably go down in a month or two and every customer gets fucked and gets angry at the developers who get tired of the shit and close down. [Reply]

Some people try and sell these devices "Fully loaded" for more money than the device is actually work. In the majority of cases, "Fully loaded" means a custom Kodi build with preloaded add-ons and lots of empty promises. Preloaded Kodi builds will become unreliable in a matter of months. Support after purchase is nonexistent in most cases. It happens a lot. [Reply]

What he said. You'll have a useless, overpriced device in the matter of months. [Reply]
Just cut the cord and Vue was my choice...sonofabitch! Enjoyed the sports packages and NFL network and redzone. The NFL leaves me no choice but to VPN my viewing overseas. I'm not paying 150-200 a month for the luxury of getting NFL Red Zone 17 of 52 weeks of the year. [Reply]

Sling has the RedZone (and NFLN) for $35 a month and can be cancelled when the season is over. [Reply]
It’s been eight months for us without cable. We have Prime, Netflix, and. Roku. We watch the KC games on Reddit. Whenever they decide to shut that down I’ll probably have to add cable again.
Haven’t really missed it. I miss watching American Pickers but that’s about it. [Reply]
i was going to cut the cable then i did the math and it wasnt worth it! for me to cut cable and go full stream i would have to pay an extra 50 for unlimited Data, then sub to other services and i was right back in price to where i am right now. lol Sounded good, but it really wasnt for me. [Reply]

Right. I did the math and with Internet + subscribing costs, it would be way more than what I'm paying for Dish. I've got free sports package for a year + DVR in two room and AT120+ for like $80/month. Plus free Showtime for 2 months.
Internet is like $70 a month by itself, just for service.
