Cold Duck, I have 7x devices I use as TVs. You need a Plex server to spit out downloaded content. I've got an Android tablet, IPad, Iphones, one dumb Tv w/Chromecast, and one smart Samsung Tv, I also have an HD antenna. I also bought a $65 computer as a media server recently.

Every last one of them supports Plex, so any movie or TV series I have gets spit out to every device. The Samsung has the apps, Netflix, Plex, and Amazon on it. Chromecast has Netflix and Plex, so new shows, old shows, crappy Netflix movies, and new movies I have with it. The phones and tablets are better, they get Disney for the kids, ESPN, Plex, Netflix, and Amazon.

We have the traditional 7 tvs (4 bed rooms, living, game and outside), plus 4 laptops, 2 kindles, iPad, xbox360, xbone, Wii and all our phones. It is actually ridiculous. I think I can get Netflix built in on about 14 devices including the smart tvs and DVD players, Xbox's and tablets. So streaming is not an issue...it is easily getting to live sports and such without having to train the family to launch a space shuttle.

I only pay 200 total for cable, phone, internet, 3 dvrs... Almost all the channels.

Then you start dealing with data limits. Yes, Cox did send us an email a few times telling us we hit the 250gb limit. What do y'all do about that?
