Below is the system performance update for the last 3 weeks. Summary: Intermittent starting and stopping has virtually ended. Live streaming using Vimeo was good while video streaming using Prime Video was terrible. Video Data Saver was enabled and no resolution settings were changed. The observed download speed is still slower than the time between the repointing of the dish at the end of April through the end of May. More Detail: Live Stream: 8/21/2022 – 10:45am – Church service on Vimeo - No problems Since early July there have been no issues with Vimeo. Streaming Video: 8/19/2022 – 8:00pm – Movie on Prime Video. 30+ seconds initial load time, approx. 5 minutes later buffered for 30+ seconds then ‘Slow Internet Connection’ was shown. Pixelated slightly for several minutes, then buffered another 22 times, 15-20 seconds each, spread out over the remaining 1 hour 20 minutes of movie time. 8/20/2022 – 8:30pm – Attempted to watch a movie on Prime Video. 45+ seconds initial load time, then ‘Slow Internet Connection’ was shown. Five times over the next 5 minutes of movie time, the video buffered approx. 30 seconds each time, then became very pixelated the following 10-15 seconds. Quit watching. 8/21/2022 – 8:00pm – Movie on Prime Video. 30+ seconds initial load time then pixelated slightly for a short time. After approx. 25 minutes, the video buffered 9 times, 15-20 seconds each time, spread out over the remaining hour of movie time. Since early July Amazon Prime Video has been terrible. Of the 5 movies we started we stopped watching 3 of them. The two videos we did watch to the end buffered on average every 6 minutes, 10-15 seconds each time. This is a major reason why we have not used Prime Video very much. What can be done for it to be improved? I will continue to keep you updated.
