    Wi-Fi Network is Critical to Effectively Cut the Cord Yourself

    Great streaming and other connected home devices demand a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection. The industry is rapidly shifting to Wi-Fi 6; consequently, your Wi-Fi network should be compatible with Wi-Fi 5 and 6 for minimal disruption. We have tested most of the mesh network devices and found TP-Link to be the most reliable and cost effective.

    Streaming Media Players (SMPs)

    We strongly recommend using the same model of streaming media player on all your TVs. This helps ensure the most consistent and easiest to use whole-home TV watching experience. Too often homeowners jump at a deal or a discount, only to discover that the streaming experience can differ significantly across different players.

    HD Antennas

    The best way to save money for life on TV, is with a properly installed outdoor HD antenna. Indoor antennas lack the power, are rarely positioned for optimal signal strength and are limited to a single TV. If you’re confident to take this project on, these are the most cost-effective and best performing outdoor antennas.

    Installing outdoor antennas with guaranteed signal quality is complicated. Typically there are multiple broadcast towers and require several special tools to optimize signal quality. If you live in our service area, we highly recommend scheduling an install by one of our professionals. Request consultation.
