    4K H3 rebuffers Netflick on 50 mbs wired internet line

    The odd thing about this problem is that it occurs only when I watch episodes of "The Stranger". I also see this problem with a Roku Ultra direct connected to the TV. I am hoping this is a Netflix problem. This will be confirmed if others have experienced it. Otherwise the prime suspect is...

    NASA Channel moved to 406?
