If u can afford it u can just get a tablet install YouTube kids set up their own gmail it will have everything they went on especially if u don't teach em to clear the apps so u can monitor what they do on it so they're not playing games like ch with these trolls

I see this topic is a couple weeks old...hope I don't get in trouble for posting late.

But my husband and I use pstv and absolutely love it. I will never pay for cable again. We use the fire stick in our room and a ps4 in the living room. We have the top tier pkg, which has all the channels we used to watch on cable but very little "filler" channels like cable. Still way cheaper than cable. Add the netflix and/or kodi apps to it and your movies are taken care of too. Super cheap and easy.

However, I must put this out there in case tiny details slip your mind at times (like mine) - if your internet goes down for any reason, you're completely screwed! All entertainment comes to a screeching halt. No tv, no movies, no gaming... But really, how often does that happen?

Thanks for the suggestions. Ended up getting my cable and net for $80 per month so I'll stick with this until it gets over 100

Get Amazon Firestick and install Kodi on it. That is all I use in my house. Google or search YouTube for Kodi and all info is there with walk throughs.
Edit. FireBox for 4k ultra. Firestick does hd.
