minus-squareRekorse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoIt seems more likely that HBO doesnt have many customers in the 15 Mbps range, so they haven’t invested much time on optimizing the experience.
minus-squareJumbie@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoI’m curious about this statistic. Got a source? It’d make a pretty interesting read, especially if we start comparing production quality of shows between the streaming services.

minus-squareJumbie@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 hours agoWow. Thanks for responding with a link! Reading the responses, it seems like the quality is based on the app or device doing the streaming. PC streaming seems to fare the worst. I have a dedicated TV app and another on an Xbox Series X. I prefer the console app because the sound decoding seems to be better. I’ll have to do my own testing between more devices and compare image quality. Sorry for doubting you.
