I just purchased a GoFlex TV and it works great for streaming from my home network but Netflix streaming is terrible. If I select an HD movie it will start out with four dots and HD quality but almost immediately the sound will start to cut out and video get choppy. If I pause the video for a minute or so this will fix the problem temporarily, but after about 1-3 minutes the sound cuts out and video starts getting choppy again.
I am using ComCast cable on their "upgraded" (second-tier) connection, Speedtest says I have 16 mbps down if I pick a server 1500 miles away, and if I watch Netflix from my bowser I don't have the problem. I am using a cabled connection and a Netgear WGT 624 v4 router.
Not even sure how to troubleshoot this- I've read that port forwarding won't help. I also read that Comcast might be throttling Netflix.
I would return this box for a Roku if I "knew" that would fix the issue but I'm not sure of that, could be my router or my ISP or something else. How can I tell?
Also a secondary question- is it correct that when this box starts to buffer the sound cuts out but video will keep playing? (seems to be whats happening) I think I would prefer the way Roku does it, where the video pauses and you get a "retrieving" prompt but at least you don't miss chunks of the dialogue.
