Simple to use, but lacks regional selection

1 month trial membership came with the purchase of another product but I am very happy with the trial. My only complaints are: you can only be logged in on one device. Even if you are not watching on the device, you have to log out to be able to sign in on another. The streams audio often lags video which I don't have the same problem with other live streams. And for some reason I have the NY region for my channels while I live in TX, and I haven't found a way to change this.

Hello PortableHD, Thank you for your feedback, and we are glad you are happy with your Free trial. With TikiLIVE's add-on device package, you can add any (4) devices to your account, giving you a total of (5) devices that you can watch TikiLIVE on, simultaneously. For the best viewing experience, we recommend using an Ethernet cable from the back of your modem to your Smart device. If local channels are an important part of your channel lineup, than an OTA (Over-The Air) antenna is a great way to find the channel and watch it. You can see how to do this from a link on our manual here; http://www.tikilive.com/manual/dashboard/user-faq/how-to-set-up-the-antenna-tv-input-on-roku-tv/ Kindest Regards, Scott TikiLIVE Customer Care

Decent Cable alternative

I received 1 month Trial membership when I purchased Roku streaming device. Subscription comes with a lot of channels, both local and major ones. I didn't find it personally useful to continue subscription as I do not really watch a lot of live TV and I already pay for Netflix and Hulu subscriptions. If you are looking for Cable alternative this might be it.

Free content but room to grow

I got a free trial of TikiLIVE with purchase at BB. For a service that that strives to be a cable alternative, I would say, it still has room to grow. Everything from the user interface to installation issues, to video/audio being out of sync, can use improvement. It does offer free content and I hope it gets to where it can offer a decent competition to other entertainment platforms.

Appealing idea for cable TV model fans

It is a neat idea. Ultimately, I chose to go directly with larger content providers, but I can see the appeal of this option for someone who wants an experience similar to cable TV but with more control and much lower price.

To be honest, I didn't even know that I had this item. Looking back, I think it came with one of my Best Buy purchases. I don't really need it because I have an upgraded Fire Stick that gives me everything I need. I will look for this item and see if it works since I did not activate it yet.

Trying to save money but quality could be better. When watching shows it will freeze up for a few seconds a couple times but watchable. The DVR feature is appealing because there is no limit but its extra.
