re: PS Vue, LIVE Internet TV streaming | NFL Network and Redzone available

I still haven't re tried. It gave me issues and I have cox too.

So looking at the list I am just wondering:

Do they plan to pick up CW?
If Fox is on demand than I am assuming I will need another option to watch NFL games.

If this has already been addressed I apologize as I only read through 5 pages

Couldn't you cancel the service and sign up again from your new house?

When will we see the Xbox, Google, Apple TV, and Amazon versions of cable TV?

I've talked about this before, but I'm not sure that competition at that level would be good for us in this case, mainly because we still have bundles. Here is what I think will happen:

If 5 or 6 streaming services are all fighting for the rights to stream each "cable" channel, that just gives the channels more leverage to raise fees. They will all have to match the highest bidder or lose out on the channel, and the more bidders there are the higher the bids will go. So then the cost of the streaming services will keep inching up until they cost what a cable TV package does (OR they will stay cheap, but the channels you like will be spread across multiple services and you'll still spend just as much to get the channels you want).


So I think that whole scenario has to play out before another round of cutting happens, then HOPEFULLY a better system will come around. IMO, it won't be ideal for consumers until the bundling stops and we can subscribe to individual channels a la carte. Or, better yet, individual shows. We sort of have this now, but they are priced ludicrously high in order to protect all of the existing deals with cable companies.

I have one in the next room for the router, probably about 25 ft away and there's no buffering at all, and that's while having another fire tv streaming wired.

I use MOCA on my router. This let's me use the cable in my house (that normally is used for cable tv) for Internet. I subscribe to Time Warner for their MAXX service at 100/10 Mbps.

Every once in a while, the FireTV boxes will lose the wired connection and immediately go into wireless mode. I only notice this when I try to use Plex. If Plex stutters, I go into the box and change it back to wired. Other than this, I really don't see any difference in image quality or buffering between wired and wireless.

Then get a fire tv

I also have cable run throughout the house. Is this solution as simple as installing a MOCA adapter at each Fire TV location and that's it? Please explain how to set this up, in simple old man terms. Thanks.

I originally had Verizon Fios, which is already a MOCA network, but cancelled that and went with Time Warner Cable Internet since they were offering 100/10 for $45 a month on a 1 year commitment and Verizon wanted $80 for 50/25 for a two year commitment. In order to have MOCA, I ordered my own modem/router with MOCA. The one I ordered is a Motorola 1800M. It worked with my existing MOCA adapters just fine.



*edit- the technician for Time Warner was a numb nutz. You'll need to be able to log in to your modem, and then activate MOCA. Be sure that all your cable TV lines and connected and then you'll need a line splitter connecting your cable lines and the incoming line from the cable company. It comes in the box if you order the Motorola.
