Yeah. It only seems necessary for the Amazon channel, though. It's weird. Of course I've never seen an update for the Amazon channel in the time I've had it either. Seems obvious there's a memory-management problem as well as the bandwidth detection issue. Surely if the other streaming services' channels can manage the Roku's memory/bandwidth efficiently, Amazon (with their resources) should be able to modify their channel to do the same. Oh well, maybe some day. Or maybe someday, affordable higher-speed internet technology will actually come to Podunk.
But I'm pretty used to it by now, though. Being a three-Roku household, it's in my best interest to set all three to a lower manual bandwidth threshold so we're not fighting each other for network resources. 'Course my traffic shaping rules ensure that the Roku hooked up to the biggest TV in the house will
always get all the bandwidth it wants and all other connected devices will just have to make do with the leftovers.
