Tell me about it. I had to cancel cable completely so I can afford unlimited internet data with XFinity. Now AT&T and XFinity charge you extra if you go over 1 TB of data. My kids go over that in less than a week. Plus I've got a Plex Server that my family has access to.

I pay about $150 a month for unlimited data with XFinity for 200 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload. Not cheap, but much better and faster than AT&T UVerse.

Man that sucks. My kids would die if we had that speed lol.

Hey brother! How are you? It's Skip from the Polk forum.

To the OP, you have a decent system. If you do Tidal on your phone/tablet/computer, or any streaming service for that matter, you should be able to link to your receiver via bluetooth. This would be your cheapest option and a decent option to play with to decide if you want to go up the ladder to more expensive streamers for better quality.

Hey Skip. I'm doing okay. How's everything?
