recstar24 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Love that I'm just noticing this today lol. Seriously need to consider cutting the cord, what are some of the more popular options out there? The kids for sure can survive purely on Netflix, and the wife and I just need enough TV for a few shows and major sports. Quote
CD44hi Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 I think most providers are doing similar. For instance Verizon's programing looks like crap compared to the same content streamed using the same channel's app. Same for content from Amazon Video or Netflix compared to straight from FiOS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
recstar24 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Posted April 3, 2017 Yeah I've been really happy with my Netflix content quality wise. Today I really started noticing a choppiness in my Comcast and some weird grainieness. Thinking maybe we can survive across Netflix, amazon prime, and maybe pick up Hulu to round out and we'd still save a good chunk from Comcast. Quote
EdipisReks1 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 You realize that 1080i and 720p are the same things presented in slightly different ways, right? Quote
recstar24 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Posted April 3, 2017 Practically speaking I truly found very little difference between the two in real actual watching so I'm fine chalking up the issues I'm noticing purely to just a crappy feed. Regardless, treat this as motivation to get serious about cutting the cord. Quote

CD44hi Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 When I mentioned Verizon fios vs streaming, regardless of what the target res claimed is for fios, it looks as compressed shit vs straight stream.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Hopstretch Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 I'm so looking forward to going back to a Comcast monopoly. Not. 1 Quote
