Since it is streaming fine at home it leads me to believe even more that it isn’t the receiver but is a problem with the upload to the internet (which doesn’t come into play when playing in the internal home network)
Be hard pressed to think this speed would be an issue, but I suppose anything is possible

WOW, awesome.

Only 205Mb/sec upload? Barely enough for HD.
I would make fun of the fact that you don’t have a symmetrical connection, but I can’t since I only have a 60/5 connection.
Speed tests only tell us how fast the connection to that specific server was at that specific time. They do not tell us the status of the millions of other pathways through the Internet that can be used to get from point A to point B. I've seen numerous times when a connection that tested well with an Ookla server performed terribly with another site. Most of the time, rebooting the hotspot to get a different IP also resulted in a change in performance, usually for the better.
Exactly, which is why I wish I would have run WinMTR when I was at the hotel
Yep, a traceroute is usually the better tool for seeing what's really going on along the whole path.
Boy oh boy it took me forever to find this post.
I wanted to update everybody on the operation of the DishAnywhere app on the Fire TV Stick. Recall that this has been working fine with Hoppers, but I could only see VOD shows on my Fire TV Stick, and neither live TV nor recorded programs off my 722 w/Sling Adapter. I left the Fire TV Stick unplugged for a month, during which time Dish engineering fixed it! Now I can view live TV, or recorded programs, and something those with Hoppers cannot do, which is play recorded programs off my EHD.
Do you know when they fixed it? If there was new software for the ViP722k last week, then that might have been what temporarily broke the DVR functionality on my ViP722k completely. I posted about it in another thread.Boy oh boy it took me forever to find this post.

No, I'm sorry but I do not since I had the Fire TV Stick unplugged for about a month. But note that I have a 722 not 722k, and also that I have not experienced any interruption in recording capabilities.
Pretty cool...it now has a Firefox app!

Maybe so few people were using it, that they felt the need to get the word out, so more people would find it and use it.
It was Amazon’s fix for google blocking YouTube from the FireTV. They made both Firefox and the Silk browser available which conveniently have shortcuts to YouTube’s TV site.
I didn’t know it was available before they announced it though.
Yeah that’s how I found out about it. My daughter needed a work-around for Youtube and she discovered that Firefox was available.
