    I use Kodi with The Crew video add-on. It's got ustv.go for live TV. But I can watch movies, TV shows like Netflix. But ALL of them. I can also watch live sports.

    I've got a real debrid account. But I think I will get a VPN at some point.

    Oh you will need to use a VPN for the NBC, ESPNs, and several other channels. I use NordVPN, but any VPN will work.

    Anyone notice there speeds on SL have dropped recently? Had mine for just about a year now. When I 1st got it, speeds were consistently over 100-150+ all day every day. Now I struggle to get over 50, and some days struggle to get 20+. Overall still much better than I could get with my old ISP, but fibre is running past the house this summer/fall, so SL will be no longer needed.

    Unless u have a long wheel base you may rip it off when turning. I found the load lock holder is easier.

    I’m looking at SL for my truck as well. But hoping they come out with a truly mountable unit like those dome satellite receivers. Install and have it up and running 24/7.

    They are waiting on FCC approval prob a year or so. Many are making them permanent by disabled the motors and building a mount. It's what I'm doing when I get more time.

    I will never get used to you guys calling electricity "hydro"
    I get the reason why but it still sounds so opposite
