Hi @BM3,

Thanks for letting us know about the playback issue that you are running into, I'd be happy to take a closer look to see how we can help.

A few questions here to better understand what you're experiencing: Does the issue only occur on a specific channel or all channels on your Roku device? Are you receiving error messages or codes when accessing the channel? 

We also recommend starting here to troubleshoot channel issues: Follow these steps in order:
1.Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the * key on your remote, and choose 'Remove channel'.
2.Next, restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. (For Roku TV Settings>System>Power>System restart)
3.Once your player/TV starts up again, go to 'Streaming Channels' on the Home screen, and add the channel back once more.
For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How do I resolve channel playback issues? - Roku

Please keep us posted and try doing this to see if it helps with what you're experiencing.

Many thanks,
Mary

I'm noticing very bad resolution with the Tastemade channel since about a week or so ago.

I watch on a large 85" TV.  The resolution is terrible.  Almost unwatchable.  Much less than 480.

I'm guessing that a switch was made to conserve on bandwidth..

Commercials look fine.  Other Roku channels look fine.

But when Tastemade comes back to the actual content it is bad.  

Please take a look, I love this channel!  Thanks.

I agree; there's something wrong there.  It's like watching video over dial-up.  @RokuDanny-R , someone at Roku needs to take a look at Tastemade on The Roku Channel.

Launch The Roku Channel, find Tastemade under Live TV, launch Tastemade, be transported back to 1980's era video quality.  It looks like it starts at a very low bit rate and never increases.

Can reproduce just by watching Tastemade channel.  Need Tastemade content, other commercials on the channel seem to be okay, just Tastemade content.  Very low resolution.

Thank you!  I know you haven't sent an update yet, but it looks 100% better for me tonight.

They must have made a change of some sort.  Back to normal.  Much appreciated!!
