As ed_formerly_of_roch mentioned, if your internet service is crap, it doesn't matter what app you use. Having said this, I cut the DTV chord years ago and switched to comcast bundle of internet and cable. Then the price seemed too high for what I was getting. I cut cable and now use Comcast internet only and purchased a "jail broken" firestick. Came with Sunday Ticket for free. Also get MLB for free(go Yankees!). Again, it's a mute point if your internet is crap. Good luck.
