    [Technology] Amazon Prime Tech stuff - watching experience

    Watched both Prime and iPlayer last night on Chromecast/google TV can't say I noticed a single glitch and don't recall any issues, other than setup which didn't work properly first time.

    Interesting that no one has reported sound quality issues. Quite a few people commenting that the picture was a bit poor at first, but soon got better. This is to be expected, this is to build up a buffer, to cope with any intermittent network delays. The length of the delay is representative...

    Probably worth a dedicated but dull thread, that doesn't discuss the match, the commentary, the coverage etc - Add advice experience work-arounds and can be bounced and referenced as a troubleshooting guide. Here goes.. Watching on a 4k Panasonic TV (my default for Amazon Prime), with a Virgin...
