Trouble shooting has shown me it's my router. Time for an upgrade. Do you guys wire everything or go wireless? Will going wireless cause issues (is that why you asked that)?

Get an Apple Airport Extreme (newest edition). I know this isn't the router thread, but as a (non) Apple fan, I have to say it's absolutely rock solid hardware. Never an issue (and I've owned many, many ABGN, etc) routers in my day. The AE smokes them all in performance and reliability.

Got the $35 promo and free Apple TV (in store). drat if this service isn't pretty incredible so far. As a cord cutter I'm very happy with it.

That seems like a really raw deal compared to the AppleTV...

Yeah I'm not real sure why anyone would get that over the AppleTV. I mean you can walk into any store and get a fire TV stick for like 25 bucks with a coupon. I guess people just really hate Apple or something?

I've been off work today...streaming DTVNow since like 7am.

Not one single issue, hiccup, nothing. You couldn't convince anyone this isn't actual cable.

Now, how fast will I hit my 1tb Comcast cap? We're on our way to finding out!

Edit. Lol minutes after posting this, it's freezing like a motherfucker. Rush hour I guess or :tinfoil:

Has DirecTV Now poo poo the bed again tonight? AppleTV nor Fire Stick (molasses gen 1) won't load a thing. Restarted everything, doesn't work. Won't even load the guide, just black space with "All Channels" and "Favorite Channels" listed at the left. Nothing else.

Nice.

Edit: yep, swiping up reveals "Sorry! The service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"

Keep it up shitlords, my $35 is on the line...tick tock :newlol:

I'm currently watching it using ancient technology of shooting radio waves through the air. And it looks fantastic.

Seriously. I know there is a fascination with and seeming requirement to stream things, but OTA HD signals are stupid good these days.

Just got an email the DTV NOW is giving me a year of HBO for free. I guess they are trying to keep customers as the end of the original 3 month offer is now-ish.

Me too. They have me for another year I guess. Not bad for $35!
