I had to schedule a call with Comcast to speak about technical issues which I already figured out via the internet searches and TOTV information. It took three days for the call.
The problem is Data overage. The solution is to put the Roku back to the home page then turn the TV off otherwise it is streaming all day and night. Also lowering the MBPS'S in the Roku from 12 MBPS to 3.5 MBPS and changing the definition on the "convenience" televisions to 720 DPI from 1080 DPI should lower the total usage next month.
Never once during the entire conversation did they offer any of this information. They offered for a limited time Unlimited Data for $25 a month marked down from $50 a month. I said that sounded very fair and was getting ready to do it but then asked is this on top of the regular bill and the answer was yes. Deceptive, Non-Communicative, Garbage. But a necessary evil if you want to stream. I'm not giving up, we really like the Variety of shows on YouTube Tv.
We are at 1400 Jiggawatts of usage as of October 29th. We don't watch that much TV. You get 2 months of being over for free. The limit is 1024 MBPS. Then $10 for every 50 MBPS after. Pretty expensive.
