On an -800 right now, LAS-BWI. The streaming works VERY well, as does the on-demand. Shockingly, the wi-fi seems better. Are things looking up for the wi-fi experience on WN?
FWIW - There are NO FEES involved with the TV experience, most likely to compete with B6 and the like, with similar free offerings.
You don't have to sign in to wi-fi (i.e.- you don't to pay to get the TV streams). Yes, you do suffer 1 Dish commercial, but that's it. And they're commercials (the new ones, anyway) are pretty funny...with the dudes that sounds like Peter from "Family Guy."
Free is good. A better (more robust?) channel lineup is needed. Currently, I'm only seeing maybe 12 stations?
It's a very nice touch, especially on this schlep from Vegas. Good going WN!
