I'm well aware this is a BETA and I would like to start by mentioning that I'm definitively not complaining about the service, as a matter of fact I think the service is awesome however as I looked for this and was unable to find any status thread I decided to create one to provide a report on my experience.
First off my setup:
Internet: Cable Modem running a 10/2 connection, working well with good ping response and speed as advertised
Device: MAG 254
So the service is running very well pretty robust and all and although there are channels which fail to load the system is behaving well, I'm expecting with everything else going on there aint much time to go back and fix down channels every day:
Around 70% of Adult channels are on and off, the ones on are lagging badly - Impossible to watch
Music channels are up and running however they lag constantly - One can watch them but they are getting stuck
Movie channels were pretty much clear of issues however since yesterday I started noticing that FOX Latinamerica premium channels are lagging badly however the odd thing is it only happens after several minutes of watching (more than 2m)
entertainment is working well though to be honest I spend most my time with the movie channels so I haven't spent hours here
Video Club = Working like a charm
All in all the service is working like a charm however more and more I'm seeing dead channels and lag on them that makes them annoying to watch, I've been running statistics on my internet line while I get lag to ensure it's not me and I believe it's not, HBO and most USA English only channels work well at times when the other channels are lagging.
NOW: Note that I'm not requesting or expecting a FIX, I'm just reporting my findings that's all as I assume feedback over a beta is always welcome. Keep up the excellent work, you guys rock!!!!
one more point to note: I'm running 720P as 1080 was giving me awful rendering of image on my TV over HDMI however picture quality is not that awesome on some channels even if I run them on NTSC (any recommendation here on settings?)
PS. As a report on the MAG254 (though out of place here) excellent device, quick and well thought of whoever when it gets stuck (and it does get stuck) getting it back to life is a pain, I've had to do Fact Reset 3 times on 2 weeks and it takes several tries to get it back up, anyone running a configuration that makes this more stable?
