Anyone else having difficulty using Stream and being told to buy their "cable boxes" issues due to firestick?

We have had this service for over a year, using the FireSticks, no issues. Within the past 3 weeks, we have buffering non-stop, whenever we change from Netflix back to the Stream app, wake the Service up from Sleep, or just because really, no rhyme or reason.  We have 3 tv's all newer Samsung

Let's have the local feed for The Weather Channel please!

The Weather Channel App has always been slow and annoying to use (like all apps on a TV), but since it's been updated with no radar at all, it makes the national feed Weather Channel even less satisfying than the local feed that Time Warner analog used (and most cheap motel systems carry).  I would

There's more.  Besides MRV and On Demand, there is Directv2PC and Media Share.  Both of those are great programs.  When you get networked, visit those forums and get acquainted.
