Well I tried again today and there was an occasional loading but only twice in a one hour show and the wait was less than 10 seconds to come back online. Today the info shows variance from SD 480 and sometimes lower lines up to 720P HD. The info data rates are jumping in accordance to the resolution. They seem to move more or less symmetrically at 1.7Kbps/1.7 Mbps it's SD 480. A jump to 2.3Kbs/2.3Mbps and it's 720P HD. Lower and it's SD lower line count. Still trying to understand what the Kbps and Mbps are referring to. I'd guess data rate and download speed. Does that make sense?

I watched "Orange is the new Black" and the image quality seemed pretty good. I'm pretty sure it was SD and when I hit the info button I see 4 lines of info one which showed 1.7Kbps/1.7Mbs......... I assume this is referring to the download speed but it never changed all the times I reviewed it. Is this indicating some metadata flag in the netflix stream that indicates the bandwidth range or a quality category I'm viewing in or is it a tachometer of my download speed or what? I don't understand why it has 1.7Kbps/1.7Mbps in the same line. Anybody got a clue what it's telling me.

It was late at night so maybe that helped with bandwidth but I didn't notice any varying compression that I've heard the streaming services use to keep the picture playing without stalling. The TV is hardwired to my gig ethernet switched hooked to an Apple airport extreme router. It really played much better than I would have expected having never before used netflix other than watching my daughter watch on her laptop.
