Thursday night football on Amazon Prime
I use Starlink, and access Prime thru the set top box of Directv Stream. Have no problems watching Prime normally. The last 2 times I tried to watch the NFL game, the screen would occasionally go blurry, almost like a film of something on the screen, then would become crystal clear. I checked my speeds and latency on Starlink, it was good...over 30megs down..( it does drop in evenings with congestion of users from the 100 megs or more)

Live sports broadcasts require fast download speeds with minimal latency due to the realtime video compression algorithms. I'm guessing it was simply an issue with your Starlink internet at the time. If it continues to happen, check out Prime Video on your laptop or mobile device as a test.

Other than the fact that you are using a DIRECTV STREAM box, Amazon prime’s picture quality has rarely anything to do with the box.
If I had to make a guess, I would be either a drop out of signal for a few moments or a technical issue with Amazon’s servers when the game was live.

I have DTVS with 1Gbps fiber and the Osprey box connected via Ethernet. Everything else on Prime works fine but the TNF stream behaves similarly for me too. Amazon just has not gotten their act together yet. It is definitely better than it was when they broadcast the first few games, but it is not "network" quality yet.
