Nope just curious. Also still wondering why when I use the DTV Stream proprietary box, I have an issue every time I change channels, the picture is slightly fuzzy (for lack of a better word), and if there are any scrolling graphics say on one of the news or sports channels, it is also fuzzy/juddery for about 10 seconds then the picture clears up and looks great.
I do not see this behavior when using the DTV stream app on apple TV or my fire stick, only when using Roku or the DTV box. Very strange that I would see this on two completely different platforms then not see it on two other completely different platforms.
I've provided a Youtube link, please excuse my less than on air talent commentary.
You're seeing the video stream buffer building. The first several seconds are lower resolution until the buffer is filled enough to support HD video resolution.
What causes that behavior? Is it something that can be corrected? Why would it not do it with my Apple TV or FireStick , but does do it with my Roku and or DTV stream box?
I never see this problem with any of my streaming devices (DirecTV Stream box, Roku, PC, iPad) when connected to my home's 1Gig fiber internet. But I do see this when we're traveling and have slower internet download speeds.
500 mbps. Just ran a speed test on my Roku and it clocked at 223mbos. Could it be my internet provider? Why if it’s my internet, would it not do it across all devices? I’m at a complete loss. Another poster stated that they think it’s an issue with a codec after the latest software update to the DTV box.
We’ll if you have any ideas I’m open. I wouldn’t imagine it would have anything to do with my provider. Funny story, I connected the box though my phone via hotspot using my cellular network and it still did It.
5ghz bands require separate logins. I also have the option to have the router decide which band is most efficient. Do you think that might be an issue? Should I let my router determine that or would that even make a difference?

10/100
Why does it matter?

There's no need for a TV streamer to have faster than 100 Mb Ethernet - the most bandwidth required even for a 4K stream is ~25Mb.

It would be 10/100 as that is all that is needed for streaming. Having Gigabit service that supports 10/100/1000 shouldn't make a difference.
Although by multiple punctuation "????" it seemed it was more urgent for some reason than simple curiosity.

How fast is your internet service?
I never see this problem with any of my streaming devices (DirecTV Stream box, Roku, PC, iPad) when connected to my home's 1Gig fiber internet. But I do see this when we're traveling and have slower internet download speeds.

That's plenty fast. Like I said, I don't see it on any of my devices. So I doubt it's a codec issue.

I have my router set up so that the 2.4 and
5ghz bands require separate logins. I also have the option to have the router decide which band is most efficient. Do you think that might be an issue? Should I let my router determine that or would that even make a difference?
