New customer looking for recommendations, suggestions, and tips
i am looking for the best equipment to get tv service thru my internet and eventually discontinue my satellite tv, but i also want to get some local stations is this possible ? Tberry52
Like mentioned by Jeff_T, you certainly can use HughesNet to stream TV, but it all depends on how much you watch and when you want to watch it or record it.
But, overall, HughesNet is not made for cord cutting. Unfortunately, most of us who watch more than the minimal amount of TV, and/or anything more than the local channels we may be able to get with an antenna, have to suffer the additional cost of satellite TV.
Just want to add, that whatever "might be possible to do" is also partly responsible for the heavy congestion on the entire network.
So when people complain about slow speeds and heavy buffering, remember that others using the system to watch TV is most likely contributing to it.
I recommend you don't do that at all.
Satellite internet is not really built for the kind of demand required for hours and hours of streaming.
