Re: "I cannot explain HuLU 's being the only bottleneck for the streaming except that maybe it simply requires more throughput."Like everything on the internet, communication from point A to point B is rarely direct. It usually goes through points C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, etc.

If you want some cheap entertainment and you're on a Windows device, click on the Start button, then type the following in the search field:

You might be surprised by all the hops a simple internet request sometimes goes through before reaching a destination. Any one of those hops can be a bottleneck by either being a slow system or having too many users / too much work.

Hulu works as well for me as Netflix does, but that doesn't mean it will work as well for you. For that matter, it doesn't even mean it will work as well for me tomorrow as it does today. Lastly, one Hulu (or Netflix) show can stream better than another Hulu (or Netflix) show simply because not all the videos are coming from the same physical box. I've even had Season One of a series come through just fine but Season Two come through badly digitized. Streaming video hosts are comprised of myriad networked or clustered systems. Any of those systems can be a clunker.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months

Hi nacl!

I just happened to be reading about that subject earlier today before you posted that which is why it caught my attention. I was actually lookingh at some higher bandwisth wireles AC routers and their recommendations.

I cannot explain HuLU 's being the only bottleneck for the streaming except that maybe it simply requires more throughput. A DIR-882 EXO 2600 D-Link AC wireless router would more than double your bandwidth in transmission and would likely solve any buffering issues.

Just a suggestion if you feel like messing around with it.

I have spent my evening replacing a Television set for my wife.

So I had this genius idea to buy this ROKU tv thinking that if we wanted to use the built in streaming capabiolities it had a Roku built into it. Of course, you have to set up your roku account, password for your wireles network, etc...

But I really did not want to do any of that. I preferred to use it as a normal Cable television set and only got the Roku part in case we ever wanted to say goodbye to our cable.

I am finally after 2 hours hgetting around to solve some of the annoying things I wish I had just stick with a plain old LED 1080P t.v. Grrrrrrrr....

I do wish you well and hope that sometime you may get your Hulu streaming working well for you.....

My Best Wishes,

micro...
