I having been moving my DirecTV receivers back and forth from our house in Colorado Springs to a place in the mountains for a couple of years. I bought a dish, LNB and SWM so I could take my receivers with me to the second home. We are selling our main home so last week I left the receivers at the mountain place and figured I could watch DTV on the web site for the last week here in the Springs. I was amazed at how terrible the picture quality is. It is worse than 480i. I know it is not my Internet service because I can stream YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix at 4k resolution all day long. Do they not even care how awful the streaming quality is?
I never realized how terrible DTV streaming was until this weekend

call and complain!!! did you look to see if there was a settings button that would let you ajust the resolution??
Hokie,
It sounds like your referring to the signal pulled up from the website ?
Your not talking about the numerous Streaming services ATT has, right ?
1 of those services is suppose to be just like D* Sat service in a Streaming format ... I can't keep track of which is which anymore as they have had so many going and then change them and do away with them and start something new.

Yes, I should have been more specific. I am using a PC, Windows and watching on the Directv website in Firefox. I believe the site uses Adobe Flash Player, which Firefox hates. I looked around for a setting for resolutions but the only choice seems to be Closed Caption.

I have used it a few times in the past to watch on my phone or tablet when I was outside at home or out of town in a motel and wanted to watch something the motel system didn't carry. It was OK for that. But I would agree it's not a good option.
I think it might be a server or bandwidth issue. I have noticed at times the PQ is OK but in the evenings especially it seems to deteriorate badly.
If you are talking about DVR playback using the android DirecTV app, you are correct. The video quality is garbage.
No, I am talking about streaming content on the DirecTV web page with the play on computer option.
