Routers , wireless routers, and streaming videos, and such things

[danb]

Hi, I just was watching QVC. Their Electronic Connection show. They were selling a RCA streaming media player for about 60 bucks. I am trying to figure what they are about. Are they worth the money and if there are any issues? The only streaming that I have done is a little You Tube and I used to watch some old western TV's shows at work during lunch.

 

I read Tony's post on his M121. There was some good information there but it raised some questions for me. It sound like a great way to get a better selection of Chinese programs for our Lao Po's who are in the US. It is also freeing up our PC's and putting the shows up on the TV's. I thinking also it centrally locating all the Chinese programs and giving a larger selection then what is available on our PC'S. Is that correct? Is there a downside or limitations to those type of boxes? Except for perhaps the intial cost I don't see any.

 

If we have high speed internet and a wireless router, is there going to a speed problem? In our house we got a lot of things that can access the internet. We must have about 4 or 5 PC, 5 laptops, a smart TV, a couple of IPad, a Kindle, an adroid tablet and at least 3 smartphones. When I start to list our internet connected stuff it makes me wonder that we don't overload the circuits downtown. It seems like we have a have a lot of digital stuff. Our router is about 4 years old. I wonder if needs to be upgraded somehow. Speed or data bits per seconds or something? What do you all think? Danb

Check out this forum about the TV Pad. So far I am very happy with it especially watching the Olympics from the On demand programs from TVB stations.
