Both excellent points Goathead & 67Tempest.

I too have been around since the Analog days.., Audiophile etc. Still have 1st Gen equipment not in use...in the achieves. Example: Have a Sansui PCM that converts analog music to digital tape using ANY VCR unit...and you can watch the multi-band bit-streams on a video monitor... Denon Amps, Harmon Kardon Triple-Head Cassette...

FWIW: Current system is a full surround Audio/Video System Yamaha Head Unit, w self powered Auto Detect Sub and 5.1 DTS HD, video is 1080P HD; music room has similar setup w a 7.1 surround HK system and same as above video.

• Forgot to mention that also had to have a COMCAST MODEM UPGRADE about same time as NETFLIX issues started to happen.

• At first, a simple modem unplug and reboot or reset would do the trick, but the IP (Comcast) was throttling our bit stream back and forth depending on their whims...
