Most Netflix users stream in 720p and not 1080i. But some seem to be able to stream in 4k. Any idea what kind of bandwidth your Roku is consuming?

Not even remotely. How would I gauge it? Not sure if it has a built-in bandwidth monitor or if I'd have to do it through the Fios router some how.

I'm happy if it plays without stuttering or dropping out mid show.

Check your Netflix account for "Playback Settings" and your Roku settings for "Display Settings". If Netflix is set to high and Roku is set for 1080 you will probably get 1080 if the video is available in 1080 and your internet connection can support it. I think I read somewhere that netflix will automatically adjust depending on your connection speed.

You also might want to reset your Netflix app on your device.

QuoteTo perform this reset, launch your device's Netflix app, then using your controller or remote control, press the following sequence: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. This will bring up general account and hardware information, along with the option to deactivate the Netflix app from your device. Once you've deactivated the Netflix app, you can sign back in to your account and see if your problems have been resolved.

Yup, it's the stash of nickels from every time he heard "the last printer didn't have a problem" and "it looks fine on my screen".

I asked the digital guy here what happened to his bottle of makers mark that was on his shelf.
