Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
As we have discussed previously can we really be surprised at poor live streaming? Streaming Companies still have an awful lot of work to bring their services up to the standard of broadcast TV.

I certainly don't have poor broadband and noticed poor picture quality on several devices.

Our broadband is generally of a decent quality but the PQ was not.

If ever it is up to the standard of broadcast TV.

I was referring particularly to live streaming. I have Netflix and Amazon and generally they run fine for recorded programming.
For me its about the capacity to stream live content that these Companies don't seem prepared to pay for.

Many have said there was a slight improvement on yesterday's coverage , it's more a frame rate issue and picture issues with fast action.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I have 360Mpbs here using same kit.
It is not the definition being discussed - but the wrong frame rate for sports mainly.

Anyone with poor picture quality is likely a broadband issue, not a ‘broadcast’ issue.
Only issue I had was the camera position which was very high up on Louis Armstrong court.
We’ll see if this is improved on Arthur Ashe court today.

Have you ever seen MLBTV ? There service is pretty good it's done by Bamtech who Disney have a 75% stake in.
To be clear I'm not saying better than broadcast but pretty good quality.

Yes I have and I agree, but not regularly. NFL gamepass is great quality when it works.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I would expect that the differences people are experiencing in PQ are down to local network loading on the CDN's* rather than an individual's actual connection speed. If a particular CDN has a lot of connections all demanding high bit rates it simply cannot keep up so the bit rate falls resulting in blocky artifacts when the scene moves fast especially when panning.
*Content Delivery Node. A local server that buffers the main stream.

So is this due to your broadband provider not having sufficient server capacity or the streamer Company?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I would think it's down to the ISP struggling to keep up with increasing demand.
Normally the CDN's are only handling relatively small amounts of data for each client and delays in feeding that data are relatively benign in effect. Youtube buffering for example.
Suddenly having to supply high density data streams on many connections in real time just maxes them out.
The source only has to provide a single or very limited number of streams which are then distributed within the ISPs network
Unlike cable/sat/freeview TV where there is a one-way data stream that is the same for all users. Streaming is an interractive process between CDN and client with each client having a bespoke stream.

No one is going to subscribe to a sub-standard streaming service - at least the effluent midweek on sky is free.
