We've been streaming at our house for about 4 years, but not because we want to. Our PoS cable company and largest in the nation has never been able to make a cable box work since they went all digital. Now we put up with buffering and total outages. And the killer we are still paying for cable service. The biggest bitch I have is that local broadcasts aren't carried on any app for free even though they have been carried over the much more costly airwaves for free since the beginning of broadcast TV. I don't doubt we will have ubiquitous and reliable high speed internet everywhere some day, that day just isn't in the foreseeable future. Sadly, the Government has never deemed internet services as necessity like they did with phone service. Until then, the cost of supporting low density remote customers is not cost effective for any service provider.
