023: DirecTV Now, Sling TV DVR and More

Today Dennis and Joel discuss the Kodi Media Center. They cover what Kodi is, what it does, and how you can use Kodi to cut the cord. This episode covers all the nuances of Kodi and how it is vastly different from a streaming service, and isn't itself a streaming device. Kodi is at it's core is media center software that can aggregate all your content through one interface. Dennis and Joel also go fairly deep into the subject of piracy and how it is hurting Kodi's image. Concerns are also discussed on how you could be pirating movies and TV and not even know it. An official install of Kodi is 100% legal. It’s essentially an extremely robust media player. Kodi, by itself, comes with no video content. That is up to the user to supply. That is also where the legal grey area begins. Here is the link on Grounded Reason Dennis mentions in the episode: What is Kodi and is it Legal? To explore Kodi yourself, check out this fantastic quick start guide on Kodi's website. If interested, you can check out this other guide on Kodi's website on how to use Kodi in a DIY DVR setup. As promised: The Vox Article on the Neural Network that Watched Blade Runner I also want to say that the bit at the end is completely an homage to our favorite podcast.

This episode covers all the nuances of Kodi and how it is vastly different from a streaming service, and isn't itself a streaming device. Kodi is at it's core is media center software that can aggregate all your content through one interface. Dennis and Joel also go fairly deep into the subject of piracy and how it is hurting Kodi's image. Concerns are also discussed on how you could be pirating movies and TV and not even know it. An official install of Kodi is 100% legal. It’s essentially an extremely robust media player. Kodi, by itself, comes with no video content. That is up to the user to supply. That is also where the legal grey area begins.

028: New Cord Cutter Tech for 2017

This episode Dennis and Joel discuss two streaming services that deliver popular channels like ESPN, AMC, HGTV, FX, and more without requiring a traditional cable or satellite subscription. We get into what we like about them, where they lack, and what we hope the future holds for these services. We also discuss how to gauge whether on not it's worth your while to pick up one of these services or go with another alternative. This episode also references two previous episodes, so listening to them may be helpful to you.  Those are the episodes on  TV antennas, and the episode on  Cord Cutting. This episode is sponsored by Mohu Antennas. I personally use a Mohu Sky Antenna and love it. If you are looking to buy an antenna, buying a Mohu Antenna through the link http://gomohu.com/grounded. Use offer code "GROUNDED" for 20% off selected antennas on that page. For the information discussed in this episode and more about Sling TV check out my review of Sling TV. For information discussed on Playstation Vue, check out my review of Playstation Vue. For a comprehensive guide on replacing cable TV check out my Ultimate Guide to Cable TV Alternatives. For questions or comments please tweet us @GroundedReason, or leave a comment on the show notes page of this episode.

It also goes into details on how to get around the blackout with NFL Game Pass using a smart DNS. I user Overplay SmartDNS to do this, which is covered in the article.   This episode explains how to watch the NFL this season using streaming technologies and over the air broadcast TV. The previous podcast episodes on  Streaming Cable TV and  TV Antennas are highly relevant, so you may want to give them a listen.   I want to thank everyone out there for listening.    If you are enjoying the show in iTunes  could you please hit the “Subscribe” button.  The number of new subscriptions is one of the metrics iTunes uses to rank shows.    Ranking higher will introduce the podcast to a wider audience and would really help the show.   Todays show is sponsored by Mohu antennas.

Below are various links and information regarding topics discussed on today's episode. Net Neutrality Rules the FCC enacted  No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices. No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices. No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no "fast lanes." This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates.    Trump  Trumps Tweet - Obama’s attack  on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.  The Fairness Doctrine--an FCC policy from the late '40s that said broadcasters must present issues in an honest, equitable, and balanced way--was eliminated in 1987. It has nothing to do with Net neutrality. As one pundit noted, "How keeping the Internet accessible to everyone is somehow a power grab, or how it will somehow oppress conservatives, is beyond us. The Fairness Doctrine required equal time for opposing views; Net neutrality allows any idiot to use the Internet however he so chooses, without having to pay extra fees in order for people to actually see it.."   Clinton -  Co-sponsored a bill in 2007 to attempt to fix the FCC original mistake in 2005 •Broadband service providers shall not interfere with the ability of any person to use a broadband service to access or offer any lawful content via the Internet; •only prioritize content or services based on the type of content or services and the level of service purchased by the user, without charge for such prioritization.   Clinton pledged to defend the FCC’s net neutrality rules in court and continue to enforce them.    U.S. Internet Transition Plan of ICANN  The U.S.  U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration has been stewarding the  Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit entity that controls the critically important Domain Naming System (DNS), which is responsible for coordinating the domain name  hierarchy and IP addressing for the entire Internet. The Commerce Department’s June 10, 1998 Statement of Policy stated that the U.S. Government “is committed to a transition that will allow the private sector to take leadership for DNS management.”  On October 1st   The US Commerce Dept. relinquished its stewardship of  ICANN which was really symbolic.  ICANN  has used a multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance consisting of various engineers, academics, businesses, non-government and government groups from all over the world. This is a standards and protocols body to ensure the proper creation of Internet Names and addresses.

Below are various links and information regarding topics discussed on today's episode. Net Neutrality Rules the FCC enacted <ul> <li>No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.</li> <li>No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.</li> <li>No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no "fast lanes." This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates.</li> </ul> Trump <ul> <li>Trumps Tweet - Obama’s attack  on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.</li> </ul> The Fairness Doctrine--an FCC policy from the late '40s that said broadcasters must present issues in an honest, equitable, and balanced way--was eliminated in 1987. It has nothing to do with Net neutrality. As one pundit noted, "How keeping the Internet accessible to everyone is somehow a power grab, or how it will somehow oppress conservatives, is beyond us. The Fairness Doctrine required equal time for opposing views; Net neutrality allows any idiot to use the Internet however he so chooses, without having to pay extra fees in order for people to actually see it.." Clinton -  Co-sponsored a bill in 2007 to attempt to fix the FCC original mistake in 2005 •Broadband service providers shall not interfere with the ability of any person to use a broadband service to access or offer any lawful content via the Internet; •only prioritize content or services based on the type of content or services and the level of service purchased by the user, without charge for such prioritization. Clinton pledged to defend the FCC’s net neutrality rules in court and continue to enforce them.  U.S. Internet Transition Plan of ICANN <ul> <li>The U.S.  U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration has been stewarding the  Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit entity that controls the critically important Domain Naming System (DNS), which is responsible for coordinating the domain name <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/e9b08b9e-ea8c-48c1-81a6-45391cf76741" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> hierarchy</a> and <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc958829.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IP addressing</a> for the entire Internet.</li> <li>The Commerce Department’s June 10, 1998 <a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/6_5_98dns.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Statement of Policy</a> stated that the U.S. Government “is committed to a transition that will allow the private sector to take leadership for DNS management.” </li> <li>On October 1st   The US Commerce Dept. relinquished its stewardship of  ICANN which was really symbolic.  ICANN  has used a multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance consisting of various engineers, academics, businesses, non-government and government groups from all over the world. This is a standards and protocols body to ensure the proper creation of Internet Names and addresses. To say that the U.S. is giving up control of the internet is ridiculous and shows a complete ignorance of what the internet even is from a technical standpoint. <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/tech/us-cuts-cord-internet-oversight-113602357.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> https://www.yahoo.com/tech/us-cuts-cord-internet-oversight-113602357.html</a></li> </ul> Snopes article on the ICANN - <a href="http://www.snopes.com/2016/08/19/america-to-hand-off-internet/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.snopes.com/2016/08/19/america-to-hand-off-internet/</a> SOPA - <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/17/technology/sopa_explained/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/17/technology/sopa_explained/</a> Clinton plan <a href="https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/06/27/hillary-clintons-initiative-on-technology-innovation/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2016/06/27/hillary-clintons-initiative-on-technology-innovation/</a>
