What Is Streaming MasterYT

Hi, my name is Kit. And I'm Matt. And we are the Whip City Tech Team. Whip City Fiber Powered by Westfield Gas + Electric Could you tell us what streaming is, Kit? Yes. So streaming is watching movies and TV shows over the internet using services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO and Amazon Prime. And don't for get about PlayStation Vue where you can watch NESN and all your favorite sports games. With Whip City Fiber, our connection is way faster than your normal cable connection. So you're not going to get the buffering issues you would get when multiple users are online at the same time. So after you get your Whip City Fiber installed to your home all you need is a streaming device like Roku, chromecast, Fire Stick, Apple TV, those streaming devices will connect your TV to the internet. Today we're going to look at the Roku. It's a simple streaming device that you plug into a power source and then you can use an HDMI cable to plug into the back of your TV. So first, I'm going to take my Roku device and plug it into the power which we have back here. And then I'm going to hook up the Roku with a simple HDMI cable. OK, once you get to your setup screen, you're going to pick the language. Once you pick your language, just follow the instructions on the screen. Once your network is selected, if you're on the wifi you're going to have to enter your password. Enter activation code using computer or smart phone. The Roku is just one device. Other products are out there like the Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick. If you have questions hooking up your equipment, feel free to give us a call and we'll help you out any time. What is a streaming service? A streaming service is an account which lets you access the content you want to watch. There's a good chance you already have at least one account. Maybe you already have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or PlayStation Vue. Each of these is a service which you'll add to your streaming device with your user name and password. When that's entered, you're ready to watch. How do I watch local TV without cable? A lot of people ask us how they can cut the cord completely from their cable company and still get live TV. The best way we found is with an HD antenna which Kit's holding. They're very easy to hook up and come with two different sets of cables. You have your coax cable and then you have your amplifier cable which we've already hooked up ahead of time. So once we get to your TV's menu, and every TV is probably going to be a little bit different, on this TV I have an option for Air and Cable. I'm going to go with the Air meaning antenna. And then after I select this I'm going to go to the auto scan so I can actually scan for the channels. Once you find your channels, which could take several minutes, you'll be able to watch live TV. I hope this answers some of your questions about streaming. If you want to find out more or you need help, technical support perhaps, give us a call. We're here to help.
