It works.. but..not like watching a TV (well depends on the size). You will need about 300K upload speed at home, and of course that download on the road.

I watch TV on it from Brazil and it works great. Configuring the setup was not trivial, I am farily good at routers and it took me a while..dont recall what was wrong..

I also am fortunate to live single here, I dont think the 75' ethernet cable running across the floor would be appreciated by a spouse/girlfriend.
