    In reply to Netflix Roku Streaming Box Suffering From Serious Video Quality Issues
    I've had no issues at all. Content streams incredibly fast and the quality is equal to DVD quality. Only on a couple occasions did I notice sound out of sync with video, and a one-click rewing and replay resolved it.


    It's been absolutely flawless. I have Comcast, with average speeds of about 14 to 16 Mbps.

    In reply to Netflix Roku Streaming Box Suffering From Serious Video Quality Issues
    I have a pretty stable, but slow connection and watch Netflix on my 360s. 3Mbps cap, I've seen the "reubuffering" dialog only two times, but quality was about that of an analog cable or broadcast program. I am very happy.


    On a side not, something that might be of interest here, you can have one Netflix account connected to two 360s (possibly two bd-p2500s, two Rokus etc). Queue still works. You just enter another number (from Xbox console) into www.netflix.com/activate - it doesn't erase the first device.

    @Lizard_King: Netflix clearly states on their Instantplay FAQ that you can activate up to four devices simultaneously...

    In reply to Netflix Roku Streaming Box Suffering From Serious Video Quality Issues
    My Roku used to stream at 4 dot quality (the max) all the time. I have a 20Mpbs connection and never have any issues streaming on my computer. Now, I'm lucky if I get 2 dot quality on the Roku. I have it set to force 4 dot quality now, but it takes forever for it to buffer. Seriously disappointed with Roku.

    @Cuschoolie1: How do you force quality of the stream?

    @lanretedragon: You have to use the remote. And you have to do the sequence in perfect order or it won't take you to the "bit rate override screen".


    1) Press the home button five times

    2) Press the left arrow key three times

    3) Press the right arrow key two times


    Takes a few times to get the timing down. Once you get it right, you'll see a screen that lefts you choose any of the streams (2.2mbps to 0.5 mbps), keep it on automatic, and and turn on playback debugging.

    @Cuschoolie1: It should be noted that these aren't the directional arrows (around the select button) but the REWIND and FASTFORWARD buttons to the left and right of the PLAY button. Using the directional arrows surrounding the Select button will not work.


    So:

    HOME x 5

    Rewind x 3

    Fast Forward x 2

    @Comrade GadgetPlay, Fellow Traveler: I can understand putting your genitals on the copier but why would you try to put it in the fax machine?


    Wouldn't it hurt when it goes through the feeder?
