April 3, 20179 yr comment_760840 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. Report
April 3, 20179 yr comment_760844 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 Report
April 3, 20179 yr Author comment_760846 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. Report
April 3, 20179 yr comment_760849 You realize that 1080i and 720p are the same things presented in slightly different ways, right? Report
April 3, 20179 yr Author comment_760853 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. Report

April 3, 20179 yr comment_760919 I'm so looking forward to going back to a Comcast monopoly. Not. Report
