I am a cord cutter I only have DSL internet through Windstream and my primary program companies are Hulu and Sling via Roku devices . I like my setup really not much to complain about . However I want to be able to watch most of the 24 hours of Lemans and it is on Velocity . Velocity is available through Hulu but I can't seem to get it , I can download the app but to register/validate it you need to provide your cable provider
I don't have a cable provider . And Windstream is not one of the options in the drop down menu . Is there a way to get around this ?
If there is no way to get around the issue described above my plan B is to register with Philo . It is a streaming service that works with Roku and Velocity is part of their basic package . They offer a 7 day free trial but there is a slight catch , the first two days of the 7 day free trial are totally free you do not have to give any credit card info . After day 2 you have to provide CC data for the remaining 5 free days . So I plan on activating late Friday night and cancelling on Sunday afternoon . Online reviews of Philo basically say it's a great service , no buffering but limited content........ I only need this one channel
Anyone out there using Philo ? I guess I'll see how it works soon enough .
