    Nope. Almost all new phones work on all bands now. All the high end phones can work on any network with some adjustments. When I went out of the country I just buy a SIM and pop it in, tell my phone to move over to GSM/ALL Bands and reboot.



    LOTS of options here. A good desktop can run you 500$ for a barebone kit. lets sit down and go shopping when I'm back from my half-assed vacation.

    I sure would love to dump cox as well, but the primary reason for having it is College Sports. The Hulu/NF/Vudu/Prime thing just doesn't deal well with sports.

    I think I save about $100 a month not having cable. I have Netflix and Hulu. I miss some stations, but still not worth the cash.

    Seems Blu-Rays are going the way of DVDs where copy protection is easily defeated, so they're being released with mastering "flaws" and lots of bogus playlist files just to annoy the piss out of anyone trying to backup their discs.

    I don't blame them. More people steal movies then backup their collection.

    Do you have anymore info/reviews on this? How was the game play and the load times? Are all online games accessible? Are the disk copies of the games playable through the computer? I could find specifically, but it looked like the xbox app was free on windows 10. It also looks like your running a wireless controller?

    Cut my cox bill by 50 bucks yesterday!!

    The rep didn't even try to argue with me on keeping TV "packaged" deal. My price lock was about to end as well and a home phone promo package. It worked out better for me to cancel now.

    I was able to Demo this at Colbsters.. Need to update my PC so I can do this too.

    You can access any game thats on your Xbox One. No discs.. as it's just for streaming. Game play is good. hardly any noticeable lag.. if any at all (will most likely depend on your connection) Graphics are decent, will depend on your machine, but might be dumbed down some for streaming purposes. The controller plugs in via Micro USB. App is free on 10.

    I cant wait to update just so I can do this.. When the wife is watching tv or trying to sleep, i can just grab my controller and head to the office. :)

    That's helpful. Thanks!

    I don't have an Xbox One, can I still use the app if I pay for online and the games?

    Does K/D still really matter? Not like you are going pro right?
