That's how our TSN app works.  You have to be a TV subscriber to TSN for the app to work.  Ginger is right though, if you have someone else's login cred's, then you could use those.  I'm just not sure what happens if they get more than one login request from the same ID at the same time.  It might kick one out.  

 

 

most things allow for a couple to be on at once and you can usually get multiple email addresses to spread that further. i have issues with Netflix at camp when i go to bed sometimes as the boy and daughter can be on it so I'll just jump on hulu or HBO go.

Shit...just thought of something else.  Any of you run mulitple media devices at the same time?  We are just running the one TV with it now in addition to ipads/phones.  What does it do to the quality if we are streaming several TV shows/devices at once?  I think need a better Wifi modem for sure.

I can have 3-4 devices streaming at once,  but I have 100 Mbps broadband so it handles it.  The boys PS4 is hardwired,  my daughter and I stream on an Amazon stick and the living room TV's got a roku box.

if you can hardwire do that as the wifi is often the limiting thing.  I have a google mesh network in my house which has worked better than my previous system

Correct.  You can usually do free trials.  You pay them and get access to their app on any android type box.  Has a guide and all.  Works for my folks who hate not having the guide to watch the  same episodes of big bang theory or what not they have seen a million times :lol:

We have a terrible ISP connection.  5MB down at it's best and often less than that.  It still actually works pretty well with that, but if you get any more than three streams going, it can get laggy.

I'm going to take a look at that next.  If I can get reliable hockey and football, then it's upgrade the internet speed and cut the cable.

You can use their modem and get yourself a good Wi-Fi router.  I was doing some research because I'm replacing our DSL and T1 line at the office with a single fiber line.  I understand the DSL Wi-Fi modems from your ISP are basically shit for streaming multiple devices.  I got a Netgear Wi-Fi router that has 4 data streams at the higher 5 GHz bandwidth.  This will handle all the phones, computers, and streaming without any problem.  The drop in performance on those ISP Wi-Fi devices is unbelievable once you go any distance and have multiple devices hooked up to them.  I got the Netgear Nighthawk 10 for the office.  They run around $400, but there are many others for less than half that that would work great for your house. :bc:

Yes that works for local traffic.  If the outside speed is 100 down there will be some loss with wireless.  A 1 or 10gb router is nice but you aren't going to see a benefit from streaming assuming it isn't a 10 year old router.
