    Correct, assuming the TV is near your router so you can connect a hard line to it. It is a phenomenal device. Another benefit is the ability to connect Bluetooth devices to it such as your headphones.

    $85 for a refurb right now.

    If your patient, you can find them for $79 often.

    I already had an ethernet cable run through the attic to connect to my file/livetv server.

    $50 on your local Craigslist most likely. Come on people, just make an effort.

    NFL network showed up on my channel lineup today. Sweet.

    Kinda surprised since I don't have the highest priced tier. Hopefully redzone is soon to follow and I won't be paying a penny more.

    Redzone is going to be on Vue and Sling this season. Heard Twitter was streaming 7 Thursday night games too. I assume Yahoo will stream a London game again.

    Just found my answer on redzone, $40 for the entire season, which isn't too bad. I don't have NBC live so can't watch the Sunday night games, so I'll be spending Sundays at my friend's house watching some football.

    NBC broadcasts over the air. Can't you watch it that way?

    Dropped Vue for now... Ever since the last update it buffers constantly... All other services work fine. Tried reinstalling, etc.
