Aug 27 Podcast #1014: What we are streaming and IPTV Services Compared
This week we look at what everyone has been streaming based on minutes streamed. This is a new metric that Nielsen has developed to survive in a world where less and less of us watch live linear TV. Speaking of live linear TV we do a comparison of your IPTV options available to you. Between the two of us we have used them all. We also read your emails and take a look at some of the news stories of the week.

Hay guys, you are wrong about AT&T TV if you go to the web site you will see all new tears of service all the tears include free DVR unlimited and up to 20 streams inside the home and three outside
This I know to be true because I have five televisions in my house and all five are able to stream simultaneously oh by the way AT&T TV will now be known as DIRECTV stream.
Hi Reginald,
My AT&T plan is the grandfathered plan which is why I couldn't get more than two streams at the same time. But its nice to know that the other plans allow for more streams in the same house.
