We had a lifelong subscription to SkyAngel and they are now abandoning being on Dish/Echostar's sat at 61.5 and going to IPTV, but they still can't seem to tell me much about it other than you need a min 1.5Mb connection.
Is there anyone actually using it yet in any significant capacity?
Thanks!

I would look into free online streaming TV channels to understand if your connection is fast enough and how your router handles streaming video while doing a large download.
Check
wwiTV for a list of channels and try several channels with progressively higher bit rates.
One thing to keep in mind is that the programming providers' capacities may be limited, so I would try to pick ones with theoretically higher capacity (like TV Marti, ABC News or Shop NBC).
