I face streaming issues on Xbox one when I use Sling app on Xbox one to watch online TV.
Interestingly, the issue does not happen with Sling app on Roku or on my PC, which confirms that the it has something to do with Xbox one.

Thanks for the article Ravi. Just want to inform all folks who live outside US that Xbox360 is a great media Player. If you want to access Netflix and other streaming stations on your Xbox360 you can use UnoTelly as I do to get around the geo block.

I get consistent speed tests of 5 Mbps or higher, yet suffer SD (and often worse) quality with Amazon, NetFlix, and Vudu. Yet a $70 Roku box two floors away from my router on a WiFi connection spits out beautiful HD.

Glad (or not) to see so many people having the same issue. Amazon if the worst offender. Strangely, the pixelating and quantizing of picture goes away for me during off peak hours (late at night or during the day).

I’ve complained to Amazon tech support and they say their buffering process is different than Netflix and that could be the cause but I believe your app theories are the issue.

Question is, how long will it take them to rework the code and update? Anyone try to uninstall and reinstall the app?

yes.. streaming problems, blue ray play back problems, xbox video playback issues.. you name it.. I’ve gone back to using my ps3 for all video purchases, rentals etc through amazon instant video. I was hoping my new xbone would be my one console to rule them all.. but its been disappointing to say the least.

Netflix is fine but had issues when I rented a HD video from xbox video. Quality would sometimes drop out and it would pause now and again. Very annoying.

I have had multiple problems with x box video all streaming services and just store connectivity in general. In xbox video HD is always better on my 360. I have stopped ordering things HD on xbox for this reason. Add my inability to invite players appearing offline in some games and I’m bout to pack it all up and get a PS4. The invite and party system is messed up too. All I gotta say is that if ur thinking about a XB One and already have a 360… Wait! for god sakes wait. The chances that you will end up right back on ur 360 after you upgrade are really high. At least in my close group of friends, nobody has escaped these issues. Oh yeah and where is the music player during gameplay?! If I have to play Forza 5 to classical movie score muzak for much longer I may start cutting.

Yes issues streaming both Netflix and free workout streaming on their gold plan. Keep getting messages that the wireless is disconnecting. I have since switched back to my PS3 and have 0 problems
