    I am using PTCL EVO Wingle 9.3, but I am having speed issue during voice chat then how could the small device will play the tv channels having high bit rate. In Islamabad I am receiving 3 out of 5 signals then how could PTCL ensure signals in other cities. I am afraid that playing TV will effect the other internet surfing through the device.
