(35,194 posts).. for $66 total. There are no boxes, and I own my own modem. I tape
using my own dvr's or little tv with built-in vhs recording.
I use ethernet cables for everything, no wireless. A PC tech came in and
configured my ethernet router so that I can attach four devices to it. Right
now I have a Vizio smart tv which has Netflix and works great. I have a
wired Roku3 box on my smallerToshiba TV so I can get Netflix and Acorn TV;
and of course my MacBook laptop.
Now, if T-W raises its rates this summer, that might change. At some point
I might just go with internet service without tv service. We'll see.
At some point I plan to get a corded Skype phone to attach to the router
with an ethernet cable. That service is very cheap.
I noticed that streaming works better with ethernet, and so far I'm happy.
My goal was to reduce EMFs in my living space, but I still use my iPhone
occasionally. Going over to Skype might resolve the phone problem, but
I haven't decided what kind of phone to get yet. I don't feel a big rush on
that.
