streaming app blurry image

My Samsung updated automatically earlier this week to the streaming app.  I am unable to view any saved or live tv.  The refresh rate is not high enough to keep up with the needed rate, the bandwidth is too narrow or it is not accessing memory fast enough.

The previous Beta worked OK but this new one is total garbage.  Why something like this would be released without proper testing is beyond my comprehension.

Tech support is worthless as always.

A year ago I remodled the house completely and replaced all coax with Belden 75 ohm Quad shield and put in new splitters.  I checked the db drop from the line of demarcation to each outlet and the numbers calculated  according to the cable and splitter specifications.  I used my Rohde and Schwarz FSH8.08 spectrum analyzer and zeroed out  the 100 ft line for  the run from the line of demarcation thru the tracking generator to the analyzer input.

I had extremely slow internet connection for the last 18 months and kept complaining to Comcast. They sent out techs that kept saying the problem was in the house.  That ia not so.  There is one tech that I know that has worked for Comcast for 24 years.  I saw him on a pole about 2 months ago.  He said the problems are all over out town and was going to be in my neighborhood next.  The speed went from 50meg down to the 350 meg I am paying for so I now the lines are in a lot better shape.

My equipment and the connection to the house is not a problem.

The problem is with a poorly written application that is not any good, the Xfinity Streaming APP.  Othrs are routers that are in the Comcast network.  I still see outages so I ping, then run a trace rout and see the outages are in the Comcast network.

I don,t have the time to argue with [Edited: "Inflammatory"] at Comast.  My wife and I have decided to drop all TV, keep the internet and have Hughes Satellite to install here.

I have a BSME and also have a MSEE.  I am an Extra Class amateur radio operator and work directly with the FCC as an Official Observer, not thru the ARRL.

I now what I am doing and am sick and tired of all the [Edited: "Language"] fro Comcast.

I wrote a report, stamped it with my PE stamp and sent it to the FCC enforcement bureau.

I have wasted countless hours trying to get Comcast to repair their problems only to be ridiculed by technicians that only went thru a short training period to troubleshoot problems.  They always blamed me as the problem and never investigated to find the problem.  The tech I mentioned earlier die that for me 3 years ago and found a line chewed up by a squirrel.  It took dozens of complaints over a 6 month period to finally get him out here.

Out town is fed by a single coax cable that is fed by fiber that is 6 miles away.  Now they are trying to sell 1 gig so the signal will always be [Edited: "Language"].

Good riddance Comcast!
