If you have Roku it is worth considering getting Playon for Roku anyway. It has a lot of content that you can stream and is similar to Netflix in quality except that you can pay a one time lifetime fee, pay annually, pay monthly and you used to be able to do a free trial. Playon offers third party user plugins. There are live tv plugins as well as general content plugins. Here are the sport specific ones that you would use to stream Knick games. They are all free and sometimes do not work so I would recommend getting all of them. Also, unlike using these sites on your computer, you won't get a virus through the playon interface. Here are some of the plugins I use: aosotv, Coolsport.tv (I find the stream # for the knick game on their website), VIPBox. There is a plugin for FirstRow Sports that was fantastic but stopped working. Last year I bit the bullet and paid $5.00 to get a plugin called Monstersports. It isn't my go to and requires more searching on the users part but I have always been able to find the game on there if the other sites I use don't have it.
Here is the link to playon's website http://www.playon.tv/ When I got the service msg was blacked out on twc. I was able to get a free trial. I am not sure if they have a free trial anymore. Good luck if you go this route. My advice would be to check it out first to see if it is something you would be happy with. If you do get it you also have access to a lot of other sports/sporting events. Also, check in with TKF about league pass for Roku. I am in upstate NY and the Knicks would be blacked out for me if I went this route. I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

The other 2 TVs I put Roku and BluRay player with Netflix on both. Saved a lot of money. Went from $180+ to $85 per month. My kids wont let me cut it all the way. They needed at least 1 TV with Live TV You ever though about getting an antenna or your own cable digital turner. HDHomeRun Prime http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun/prime/ will basically cut the cost to rent your cable box. It lets you play everything through Windows media Center, XBox360, or PS3. |
