Fake Ass NFL Sunday Ticket Promotion

I called to inquire (an hour of my life I will never get back) if there was maybe an outage or something, and they proceeded to tell me th

Great idea and really works well!

I have an ethernet wired connection between my living room and basement using a Netgear Wireless N Router with 1 gig ports. It only took a minute to set up and all works well.

30 second skip not 30 seconds

Just got the service and was watching boxing. I've had every dvr known to man and during boxing matches when I've hit the 30 second skip, the clock on the match would reflect exactly 30 seconds but with this service it was 26 seconds. So I checked the 15 second backup and it was 19 seconds. Wonder w
