Streaming services throttling down?
Has anyone noticed that services like Apple and Paramount have throttled down their speeds? As an example, before Paramount merged its app with Showtime late last year, for a movie I got 1920 x 1080, today the same movie records at 1024 x 576. In my browser I can tell the lack of detail.
After doing some research some suggest that the only way to get true HD streaming on your Windows PC is to use the apps that are in the Microsoft store for Apple and Paramount. The problem is, Audials cannot record using those apps.
Any ideas/suggestions?

I wrote an email to the support group. They said they would pass along my suggestion to the developers to create a new feature to allow recording off the apps and not just the browser. If enought customers let them know the issue maybe it will get some attention. Frankly, if more streamers continue this, having audials becomes a moot point.

Try adjusting the streaming settings within the apps themselves as sometimes there are hidden options that can impact the video quality. Experimenting with different configurations might help you find the optimal resolution.

As far as I can tell, neither Apple nor Paramount have any way to modify the rate in the settings. I did find a possible workaround. For some reason Paramount streams on my PC at a DVD quality, not even HD. However, I checked out the subscription via YouTube and it appears to stream Paramount at 1080p.
