![]() Again, the limited buffering on the Roku may be the apps or it might be limited resources on the Roku itself (and I have the high end Roku.forget what it is called lol).The career mode for NHL 21, known as "Be a Pro", has been expanded to be more interactive and cinematic, similar to other franchises such as Madden NFL and NBA 2K. This is mainly due to two reasons I conclude, on the PC lower resolutions are offered by the content providers (YouTube is a quick example) and secondly, the PC will buffer content much better than Roku allowing videos to play with an initial delay. Literally, at times of high usage times of my ISP's customers, Roku is unwatchable, yet I can switch to my media PC and it works nicely (as long as the service is available on the PC of course). My resolution to this, is that I watch some channels on the Roku and at other times I have set up a media PC connected to my TV. ![]() There are some users who have had some clever ideas to restriction the bandwidth within their router and this is a hit or miss as well depending on the ISP and content providers (too much to go into here lol). I have come to realize that this is not a Roku issue really, but the content provider as I believe the content providers create their apps for Roku and if they do not provide such features, then that is it. For example, the Roku YouTube app allows one to pick lower streaming resolutions whereas other apps do not give this option which makes them unusable at lower ISP bandwidths. :-)Īppreciate the responses, have not been speaking about changing the TV resolution as this thread is focused on an option to changing the resolution of the incoming video stream for those that do no have high-speed broadband (like me with only satellite). This is just a different way to approach your issue, hope it helps or allows you to consider other choices you might not have known were there, good luck. If you have a hotspot data allotment then you can use that directly on your Roku but the data cap is much more limited than the on device data usage, hence why I use an HDMI out adapter. When the quality is set to low within the Sling TV iOS app, it uses ~600MB an hour and if you have an unlimited data plan with your wireless service provider, it will take almost forever to get to the throttling threshold per month per line on your account. I have an Apple HDMI out adapter that I physically attach to my iPhone with an HDMI cable also connected to my iPhone and then connected physically to the TV. ![]() For our vacation home where there is no consistent viable internet options for video streaming (similar to your situation), I have found that Sling TV is the only streaming TV service that reliably supports their own version of limiting video quality within their iOS app, however I have not tried to see if it is within their Roku app. We have consistent hard wired internet from Spectrum at our full time home so our situation is different from yours but limiting the bandwidth on the router in our situation did resolve the issue. Our bandwidth was being goggled up and causing sporadic buffering issues. ![]() I had to set my router to limit bandwidth on multiple devices in our house including multiple Roku's. ![]()
