misfish Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 I can watch anything that is 1080 or lower if it is not HD, but when I click on anything that is HD, I get lagging . Why is that ? Do I need to set my screen different ? I have unlimited high speed . If anyone wants to watch a good new series, For Life, is real . Got my attention quick . Thnaks
ketchenany Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 You going fishing? Only stream I know, explain please. Tie flies, and keep busy. lots of reruns of Red Fisher somewhere.
smitty55 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 I always considered anything over 720P to be HD. Are you perhaps referring to UHD?

Thnaks It might be unlimited but a lot of providers are throttling back if you exceed certain ĺimits, check your speed. Are you using a VPN?
dave524 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Hardwire your android box or whatever you use for streaming, Cyberflix is the app my wife uses right now to watch her shows and we found that a Real Debrid account gives a lot more links and better ones without buffering, worth the 20 bucks every 6 months.
Big Cliff Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Exodus Redux is working fairly well for regular tv shows on demand and I have been using The Magic Dragon for movies. THE CREW for live streaming sports. I do run a VPN and find some countries work better for some things. I am thinking that a Read Debrid account might not be a bad investment though.
Big Cliff Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 I have been using Troypoint.com for all my information on updates, it takes you through everything step by step. 2 years now and no problems at all.

Fisherman Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Two of them are fractions and one is a whole number and a prime number at that.

I was having some streaming issues, a VPN helped by allowing me to access more sources however your speed is really slow for streaming I run 40 mbps here and even that seems a little slow at times.

Terry Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Gee my phone data streams 3 times as fast as you home internet streams. If VPNs are not totally needed in Canada I have never bothered to use it

ketchenany Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Last week were were set up at work to take our computers home with VPN. I told my wife that I had VPN. She asked me if she should call the DR. I said no we all have it at work now.

smitty55 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Posted March 26, 2020 I've always used a vpn for the last few years and would never be without one anymore. For $60 a year I can protect all my data on up to 5 devices, it's money well spent. All your data is encrypted and encapsulated so it's not visible to anyone. Plus you can change sources around the world to stream and access sites that you wouldn't otherwise be able to. Plus my provider keeps zero records so even if the authorities subpoenaed them they have zero data to offer. Cheers 1
dave524 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I see netflix is lowering video quality to reduce bandwidth, seems the problem is pretty widespread with everyone staying at home. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/netflix-reduces-video-quality-in-canada-to-lower-internet-bandwidth-use/ar-BB11Lsw6?li=AAggFp5 Edited March 27, 2020 by dave524
