RE: Why's Streaming Video So Poor & Why Do You Watch It?

Posted by mrdavis842 on April 8, 2015 at 17:22:29:
You must be the only one in the world that has noticed because my streaming looks perfect, even better than 1080p, maybe like 4K. Just kidding! The streaming in general is low quality to terrible. These companies use so much compression to save bandwidth that you don't get anywhere near HD 1080p quality. Your best bet is probably Vudu for best streaming quality. Netflix is very poor in general, and Hula Plus and Amazon are probably a bit better. I believe you can now get 1080p streaming from both Netflix and Amazon (and a few others) if you pay extra. I think both Netflix and Amazon still rent DVD and Blu-ray movies.

LOL, all my news channels are in 1080i and 720p over-the-air and look fantastic.
