Well my choices are limited since I live in the country. Either Directv or Dish Network. I wont go with Dish because they ticked me off so bad in the past. Directv is starting to nickle and dime me to death. I lost my sat in a storm and really don't want to pay to have someone come out to give me a new one. So I have been living on OTA for the last couple days and I finally realized that I watch mostly the networks. However, I do not know if I can live without fox news. After doing some research it looks like SkyAngel has it and some cartoon type programs for my little one since OTA really doesn't have much after pbs goes to other programming. Wind is a major factor where I live so IPTV looks like a viable alternative. I have a 3meg dsl connection which is really solid and run voip without issues and netflix streaming. So I'm thinking about getting this service. Can I have more than one box? Are they still free or is the first one free then the second one is full price...etc. I plan to distribute one of them through out the house but want another one on a dedicated tv. I'm not sure about the whole religious part but it will get me fox news. I guess giving my money to a christian organization isn't all bad and I will never have to worry to much about the content. If I get another box what's the additional fee? how well do two boxes being on work? Is there an ethernet port or do I have to have them talk to my wireless router? I may have to get another dsl dedicated for tv only. I'm just tired of my dishes blowing away and having to pay fee's to get them hooked back up and all the nickle diming I get. Also how well has this service worked for you? I know a huge factor is how well your internet connection is but as far as the actual service...
it's nice not to have to worry about a dish outside with all the wind we get in the country. seems to be a hit with the kid. My first impressions are that the streaming works really well. very instant. it might even change channels faster than when we had satellite. The remote feels a little cheap. it works fine though. I wish the component settings menu would have a zoom or be able to adjust the aspect ratio. my tv is an older hd tv and I lost its remote so I can't get rid of the letterbox buy that's my issue not skyangels. for a couple bucks a month this service is great so far. seems to work good with my internet connection. I was skeptical but seems like a great deal so far. cant wait to put it through all the tests.
