We will try to do so, but it isn't artificially high, we are actually streaming at that channel with a 3 Mbit downstream.
What bandwidth work best with the roku device? what works best in your experience?
The specifications of HTTP Live streaming says the following of of the bandwidth
BANDWIDTH=<n>
where n is an approximate upper bound of the stream bitrate, expressed as a number of bits per second.
As a last note, we will try to lower the bandwidth tag, but the roku device is handling the constant streaming of the 3 Mbit one fine, when we have the four bandwidth one, it sometimes jumps to 2128000 and then sometimes jumps back to 678000. As you can see in the first post, the internet that we have can handle the speed fine.
