If you can't wire your house, pick up a few power line Network devices.  This allows you to have Network traffic run in your electrical circuits and is much faster and reliable than wireless.

 

Just take a look at powerline networking category at Newegg.com

I have CAT6 Ethernet ports at each TV it's just can't use them for YouTube TV since you use the phone app and cast to Chromecast which uses Wifi to connect to your phone. With a service like PS Vue I could plug a Roku for example into the CAT6. I am hoping YouTube TV gets there eventually. Wifi seems to work for now. Although it looks like Google makes an Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast. May give that a shot if I have issues.

FYI, YouTube on my Roku 3 has the best quality of any of the stuff I watch over wifi. There's also a "stats for nerds" somewhere that will show you technical info on the stream you're watching which help you troubleshoot if you're having problems.

YoutubeTV only supports Chromecast and Airplay thus far. Hopefully in the future they add more streaming media boxes so I can test a wired connection. I did find the stats feature last night. It shows bandwidth stats and dropped frames which could be useful at some point.

Watched this game last night, some take aways I had:

Granted it was week 1 - defense didn't look stellar, especially in pass game. I think a nice efficient pass game with a respectable run game would handle them fine

Shannon Brooks is still a load

They have one real receiving threat Tyler Johnson

QB play is suspect

Only got 1 sack on defense, was expecting a lot more

I'm starting to worry a bit heading into the season. Streaming worked just fine on my Roku last year for my wife. But we got an Apple TV in the off-season.

 

Netflix, Comedy Central, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, everything works fine. Hell, I stream 4K on my TV and UHD Blu-ray player on Amazon, Netflix, and YouTube all the time with ease.

 

When it comes to sports... well, that's another bag.

 

Watching the OSU/Indiana game there was a ton of buffering and freezes. Oddly enough, watching the annoying home crowd feed on ESPNU worked swellingly.

 

Watching the Browns on NFL GamePass looked like I was driving on a motorcycle down I-80 in the dead of summer.

 

Watcing the Gophers was a lot better quality, but still way too many freezes and buffers. FS1 worked fine though on the app.

 

If this craps out on me on Saturday... oooh boy.

Your internet connection plays a huge factor in all streams (obviously), The only thing that worries me about YouTube TV is it's using WiFi and I can't leverage a Wired connection. If I have issues with YouTube TV I will give PS Vue a shot with a wired Roku or something. I have 200 Mbps internet so WiFi may never be an issue but I would think the wired connection would be more reliable, less buffering due to connectivity interference.

side note: Watched MN and OSU games streaming last night, worked great no issue.

There's no time to make a mental mistake on defense with Ohio St, before you know it 60 yard touchdown. The game last night vs Indiana got out of control REAL quick.

Oooo surprises 

Watching the MN vs Buffalo game right now on YoutubeTV. Has worked well without issue. Early when watching the UCF vs FIU game I had some slight buffering and lower resolution but it cleared up.

If it had just a couple more networks, I'd switch from PS Vue.  It's missing some deal breakers though for the wife.  Still, am interested in how it does for you.

I wish Sling had BTN otherwise I would've chosen that because they seemed to have the best overall selection and the only provider with Comedy Central (which would be one of the only non sports channels I care about). I will update later tonight on how it handles tonight's games.

Seems like every outsider loves to translate Lee's stats at Tulane into our W-L this year...

Let us know how YouTube TV works for you - I'm not in a metro area they're in right now.

Will do. I will give it a test drive tonight on some of the games. It's worked well for your basic TV show/movie watching thus far.

Among Anderson's decisions of the field before Saturday's 7 p.m. game at Nebraska is whether senior defensive tackle Dee Liner will play. The 6-3, 325-pound former Alabama transfer injured his groin during a noncontact drill Aug. 12.

"It's going to be a game-time decision," said Anderson, indicating he's 90 percent to 95 percent sure Liner will play a good bit. "He's gotten better every day. Physically, he did a lot more today than he did yesterday, and he hasn't had any setbacks. Every day we pushed him a little bit further, and he'd come back the next day and he's fine."

I have YouTube TV right now going to give it a shot. If it doesn't work well going to try VUE.

DPE houses a PR

It's articles like these that make me hopeful for the upcoming year and think our offense could be the best in the West, but then I go and listen to The Bottom Line Round table and Dirk and Sam are questioning the skill position talent and think the offense will struggle... I just don't see that unless the OLine is swiss cheese all year.

Tangent -- If anyone wants a depressing take on the talent this year listen here (around 9:50 mark Dirk says "Nebraska has no difference makers at WR" then continues to pound away on it for a couple minutes): http://owh.backbonebroadcast.com/owh_mp3/POD20170829180346.mp3 I completely disagree but maybe I am just that biased and am overlooking a lot, but I think we have a pretty athletic and capable group of WR

New feature for this year.  Every Wednesday, we’ll take a look at a core offensive concept that Nebraska uses to put points up on the board.  Sometimes it’ll be a running play, sometimes it’ll be a passing play.  It may even be a trick play depending on what the Huskers offense calls the previous weeks.

This week, it’s one of Danny Langsdorf’s favorite concepts: the Slot Fade.  And with J.D. Spieman finally coming online for the Huskers after a redshirt year, you can expect Nebraska to use this concept quite frequently in 2017.

 

Agree, perhaps the OP was combining Snyder and Hoppes (sarcasm) which could quite feasibly stand a chance to combine for the most yards/receptions. From practice report sounds like TE on crease/slant down the middle will be quite popular

February without ac? Brutal

Cal or Stanford would be the closest big name schools to San Jose. Still 5 hours to LA. About 8 hours to Eugene.

Makes sense. Seems excessive either way, but we shall all find out soon enough I suppose.

Oregon State already has 6 WR commits for 2017, I mean he would be their top WR recruit but come on do they really need 7 WRs in one class??

"If I am walking and breathing next week, I'll be okay to play" - Tommy Armstrong post-game. All you need to know about him.

Screens work well when we hit them.
Banderas will be missed next year (light turned on late for him but he's dependable now).
For whatever reason we give teams 5-8 yard out routes all day every day (works well when we stiffen up on D but frustrating to watch at times).
Hope the O Line improves next year because Tommy covers up a lot of issues with escapability.
I like winning against MN (I live there and don't need to badgering at work)
