How can one then watch classic TV how which service does this? IE Gilligans Island, Peter Gunn, The Avengers, Knight Rider etc since 50s aside classic movies 60s era Hercules movies Ive seen None.

I have an issue. My WIFI router is located on the second floor about 30 feet from the TV/entertainment apps on my first floor. The high end (and expensive) Linksys router seems to send a reliable signal all of maybe 25 feet and then it is spotty. I have three separate devices on the first floor connected to the TV via 3 HDMI slots, The Apps in the Direct TV DVR, an Amazon Fire Stick and the Apps in my Oppo B103. I can watch Netflix from all three devices BUT, more often than not only through the Oppo device. The Firestick is especially problematic, refusing to connect to the internet more often than not. In these reviews I always read about the wonderful apps available but nary a word about the quality of the devices ability to actually see and connect to WIFI. I for one would buy the device that had the best WIFI receiver, not the most apps I cannot connect to.

I'd love to cut the cable cord, but they are also my streaming connection. Pushing my Mbps up raises my cable bill to where the costs are a wash. I still pay the cable company the same amount of money. This doesn't wash in my market. Actually HBO service is less through the cable provider. Grrrrr.

Kodi is free and runs on almost everything, search it.

@JIMV I would take a look at some homeplug devices that use your electrical wiring to establish an ethernet link from one place to the next in your house. Once they are linked you can just plug in a second WiFi router downstairs and give it a separate SSID.
There are a handful of other solutions to mesh wireless nodes and use the same SSID etc. but if you can get a couple homeplug adapters to link up over your wiring I would recommend that route instead.

RK3188 Dual WIFI Antenna Quad Core CPU Android , tethered to your cell phone with unlimited data plan, you will need a andoid unlocked phone, performance varies on time of day but runs netflix well. and surfing is blazing fast on 3g I have used 145 g in one month via tethering. i have 4 tv's fitted with this or similar dongles. Phone used is a Doogee DG310 5'' about 80 bucks 5$ for gorilla glass like screen protector, to protect my expensive investment. enjoy

I don't understand how that improves my wifi signal or the quality of the receivers in my devices????
Tried the power line 'solution' but could not get the linksys router to see it even in the same room and even with the Linksys tech support fellow on the phone...Let's be honest, the router is the biggest scam in streaming only next to the 'up to' X-mpbs of input one gets from ones internet provider....In my experience, the router works 100% to perhaps 20 feet with the signal dropping to about zip at 30 feet. It is a 'big room' solution, not a whole home solution. Why reviewers never comment on a devices ability to see this marginal signal is confusing. My Amazon fire stick and Chromecaster device only work half the time and then in buffering spurts while the Oppo blue ray player's apps on the same TV 6 inches from the other two devices works 80% of the time. I can only conclude that Oppo puts a decent WiFi receiver in its devices and the other solutions I have do not.

Dishworld movie rental has no parental control, you can not block younger children from renting R rate movie with your credit card already on file as prepaid feature.

JIMV: Your best and most reliable option is to hire someone to run a hard line between the two points, and not rely on WiFi at all. A hard wire is ALWAYS superior to wireless.
Second best option is to buy a better router. The range increase going from a "high end" LinkSys router to an Apple Airport Extreme is jaw-dropping. The price should be similar, especially if you look at refurbished routers from Apple (full warranty, big discount).

Of course you would cut the cord today, considering how all broadcaster are going over the top with live streaming and VOD services. It's just matter of time before cables is rendered completely obsolete. With somebody like Muvi Studio, you get the right advice on setting up your own cord cutter service. For FREE. In hours.
