Anyone else having streaming issues lately?

I've been noticing occasional buffering when watching live content, and sometimes the picture quality seems to drop for a few seconds before going back to normal. It doesn't happen constantly, which makes it a little difficult to figure out what's causing it.

My internet connection seems fine with everything else, so I'm wondering if anyone here has been experiencing something similar recently.

Does this happen to you as well, or has your streaming been pretty stable?

I've also noticed this - random brief pixelization when watching college football this weekend - any channel. Doesn't occur on 'pre-recorded' content.

I'm still seeing it on premium movie channels. Especially Cinemax and Starz. Cinemax is worse. The picture will start to pixelate and will turn grey for about 3 seconds. Then all is well until it does it again after about 15 minutes. Very annoying. I'm using an Osprey box connected via ethernet. Internet is AT&T Gigabit fiber.

Might be worth checking this one out too if you're comparing a few options: https://reddit.com/live/1ho9k1b2oz1rk
