I left all TVs off today, with the exception of my wife watching an hour or so. Tomorrow I’ll be able to see how many GBs were used today.

I googled it and a lot of people seem to have this problem when they moved to streaming. I’m using Roku, for example, and apparently if you turn the TV off while watching a program, it can continue to stream even after the TV is off. Supposed to go back to the home page, then turn the TV off.

Also, I have had the TV on a lot. I’d sometimes leave it on upstairs and go downstairs, and it would run for a few hours. Still, I don’t think I’ve come close to TVs streaming 10 hours per day, every day.

I’m using my own router, not the cable company’s. It has a tough password. Plus, it’s in the center of my house. For a neighbor to get a signal, they’d have to be sittting outside my house. It wouldn’t reach into their house.

Will be curious to see what my useage was today.
