too bad they didn't drop Fox News too...my crazy uncle on DISH needs a break...
You just can’t handle disagreement!
Especially don't forget the cables. You can have the best HW but a simple cable issue will screw it all up. Not a bad idea to upgrade those every few years or so.
This include slingtv for those who don't know. Those channels are now off sling as sling is owned by Dish.
YTTV, Hulu, PS VUE fwiw.
I have what mediacom gave us so my guess is that may be the problem. Can you recommend the modem, router to get?
Needs or wants? jk,jk. Philo plus YTTV or hulu would have almost everything you'd need.
Well that sucks. At least we just got done playing our games on FS1. The only good thing is that with Sling I can cancel the channels and then resubscribe when they come back. Yep, they gone. I love how they have no warning or credits, this is the message. FS2 is a useless channel so not much loss there.
Hopefully each month. I have Dish as well and they lock you into a 2 year agreement. I would say this would breach the contract on their end but I am sure there is very fine print stating they can drop whatever they want, when they want.
What do you have for a router right now? Modem I would think would be fine with whatever Mediacom gave you.
You can save some coin if you buy your own as well (then you don't pay that rental fee). And you can get a decent one that will last you a few years. Routers, I have always had success with Netgears, TP Link is a solid affordable option too. Depends how much you wanna spend
Agree. I have Centurylink and to buy theirs it was $100 or I think $8 a month for rental which means I would have paid for one in a year anyways.
I will say, the modem/router combos they give you have junk routers in them. I run Plex in my house and we had issues from Day 1 with it streaming via LAN. I always suggest to people to get their own router. For $80-$150 you can get something way better and have no issues hopefully.

I’ll second the netgear recommendation. I just use the supplied modem.. but a decent router makes all the difference in streaming. A 6-8mb connection should be PLENTY fine to stream a game.

I will have to check when I get home. I think it is modem router combo. I am Tech stupid on this stuff. We did get some of those boost devices in some areas of the house that had a poor signal and they seem to have helped.
