Hadn't seen this mentioned. Just DLed on Roku. This can change your cord cutting decision. It is not all markets but Houston is included which is obviously nice for local, and Aggie, football:

- ABC
- CBS
- NBC
- Fox
- CW
- PBS
- My20
- Ion
- Multiple Spanish channels

Pretty awesome. Keep in mind, no DVR but these networks have a la carte apps for VOD for your shows.

I personally have PSVue which included the Houston locals. I live in Houston. Someone from another market give it a shot and see if it routes to Houston channels.

Outside of football season, I might be cutting Vue and using this plus Netflix & a la carte VOD apps.

Interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye on this. I just hope it doesn't go the way of Aereo. I'm like you... I get YoutubeTV during football season, and this would be great for the rest of the time

IIRC, Aereo got axed bc it was for profit. I noticed this was called Locast.org ... likely not a coincidence.

It's using a geolocated IP address as it doesn't work in CS.

Hmmmm... VPN? Thanks for confirming.

I'm actually in Spring. Guess it considers this Houston market. I actually get pretty rough OTA reception at my house so it is nice.

B/CS has been lumped in the Waco / Temple market for as long as I can remember. Would much prefer Houston stations.

FYI for areas:
"... in Denver, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, and New York can use Locast to get locals for free"

Doesn't seem it's on Amazon hardware

CBS channel through Hulu looks like garbage. Was hoping for a solution through Amazon.

It's on Google/Chromecast/Android, iTunes, & Roku.

You picked the 4th place streaming device.
