Game day
A checklist for a smooth live picture
Fast-moving sports are the hardest thing for any home network. Ten minutes of preparation pays off when the whole crew is on the couch.
- Wire the main TV with an Ethernet cable, MoCA or powerline adapter.
- Restart your router and device an hour before, not at halftime.
- Pause big downloads, console updates and cloud backups.
- Tune in ten minutes early so the stream is settled by kickoff or tip-off.
- Use "Standard" or "Sports" picture mode with low motion smoothing for fast action.
Questions
Sports questions
Can you guarantee a specific game?
We don't promise individual games in advance, because rights, schedules and blackout rules change. Ask us about a game before you subscribe and we'll give you the most accurate answer we can, in writing.
Is there a delay compared with cable?
Internet streams usually run a little behind traditional broadcasts, as with most streaming services. If friends are texting live updates, you may want to mute the group chat.
Will sports be in HD?
Many sports channels are available in HD. A wired connection and 5 GHz Wi-Fi make the most of the picture during fast action.
Are pay-per-view fights included?
Pay-per-view events are handled differently from regular channels. Ask us about a specific event before relying on it.
