Netflix fixes streaming issues with Roku device, Xbox 360

If you've been using Netflix streaming through a standalone solution like the the self-branded Roku device or the Xbox 360 client, you may have been troubled recently by a lack of picture quality. Compared to a PC streaming on the same connection, users were often unable to get full quality videos, despite of having plenty of bandwidth available.

Though Netflix never mentioned how widespread the problem was, they at least admitted it was a problem on their end and said they were working on a fix. All necessary changes and fixes have now been made, according to the company. Netflix won't elaborate on what caused the issue, but they certainly didn't try to shirk away from it and have already dealt with it, so kudos to them.

Well that is total baloney I am still having the same issue. I took several minutes just to get a stream started and when it did it looked like we had a youtube video on the screen. We were trying to watch quantum leap but scott bakula's head just looked like a square. Still not working.
