If you don't use your TV for games, 50 Mbps is all you need. Since Crapcast uses our right of ways for free, you would think they'd have better service, but they don't. I was told by a Crapcast technician, that when kids come home from school, the Mpbs always drops really low. You'll never get what you pay for from Crapcast. My monthly fee is ludicrous for what I get.

I already have ROKU, and I am currently looking for a streaming service that also has local channels (well, Orlando, anyway). Any suggestions?
I have Youtube TV and can get the locals with that. Best thing about YTTV is the DVR functionality and the ability to take it with you when you travel. Locast is also available for local channels. You download the app and can either do free with ads where they beg you for donations or you pay the monthly fee ($5 or $6) to go without their ads.
