I tried using slingtv and on top of the stream qustream issues, I realized that if I pay for a video service my tolerance for ads becomes super low. Too low to ever switch back to the traditional tv ad model
I tried it, the quality is quite lacking from the buffering to the terrible blurring during quick action in sports and movies. And I tried it from multiple connections, ATT/Comcast/Verizon fits...although this was summer of last year during Olympics. Maybe it's better now or was too saturated back then.
Some of that is definitely there. I still see a 2-5 minute delay on video streams (based on show start times etc.). I don't notice any issues with blurring but I'm usually watching old SD shows (star trek on bbc) or cartoons.
Happy customer of PlayStation Vue. At $29/mo compared to the $80+/mo I was paying for Cable, I think these services will be very disruptive to the traditional cable model.
