Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

That's a bit confusing
It's saying "cut the cable" but it seems like it's only picking up local TV signals and allowing you to play it on any device
Am I missing something?
That's what it does. It puts the over the air tuners on your computer network. I haven't read good reviews about the phone/tablet app but, it works on any windows 7+ computer, smart TV's, Xbox's, Playstations, etc... I've even seen some reports that it works on Roku, etc... but I'm not sure. It doesn't work on the amazon fire tv stick. Yet. If you're using a windows 7+ pc then you can use media center as a DVR. I use the media center DVR and it works better than comcast ever did.
