something v wrong with the speed.

if u dun get such poor speed with other devices, it may be yr TV problem.
do u get good or poor speed with TV youtube, other apps?

new smart TV's typically come with non-gigiabit 100mbps ethernet but can be faster with AC wifi if it has it.
that page in netflix, my TV shows 185mbps with wifi using google DNS - all is good.

try:

1. use wifi 5ghz, not rj45.

2. use static IP, google DNS.

3. try with a diff router... in many cases, the culprit is the cheap stock router.
poor routers tend to hv unstable connection, less than optimal speed and other strange problems.

there is a tv series available on netflix... Diriliş: Ertuğrul

started in 2014... season 5 just completed... but only first 4 seasons in netflix... i hope season 5 will come soon.

a very long drawn historical fiction drama-thriller.

every season is >70 epis long, 42 mins per epi.

i'm done with season 1, 2... boy, it was long... but interesting enough.. will continue.


factual history has little record of the main character Ertugrul... but it is great to watch how he was depicted in the 13th century.

a time when the turkmen tribes of anatolia (current day turkey) were under siege from the byzantine empire in the west and the mongols in the north.

the perils of betrayal, spies, infighting vs the strengths of loyalty, heroism, spiritual strength.

of course, we know the ottoman empire eventually emerged to change the landscape of the east-west wars over territory and jerusalem for the next few hundred years.

then, WWI, WWII... and what we see today in modern turkey.

an interesting way to catch up with history if u like.... i'm not a historian but i can follow much of what is being shown and illustrated in this series.

apparently it has been the most followed tv series on central asia and the middle east.

a recommendation to anyone interested in turkish-central asian history. 3.5/5.

from netflix... Dirilis Ertugrul...

s1 76 epis
s2 103
s3 91
s4 90

some sources list the seasons as <30 epis each.... maybe these are 90-100 min ones.

netflix hasn't got the deal to air season 5 yet but.

i take my time to watch them, no rush.

i find it better than many other crap shows!

1080p should be more like 6-7 mbps.

yr connection does seem weak since u dun get certain shows in 4k (assuming u pay for 4k pack).

really, u need to test connection speed with other devices - box, pc - with ethernet , wifi... to be sure it is not just TV netflix issue.

for 100mbps nominal, most routers can give full 100 with ethernet and >50mbps wifi.

looks like comes to netflix, yr connection speed weakens - that is seen with 1080p speed u get and not able to get 4k for some shows.

given what u said so far, i suggest u check further on the netflix device, i.e. yr TV.

possible u need new firmware to get rid of certain bugs... do check with users of same TV, the manufacturer website or helpline.

some TV's, w/o firmware updated, Netflix won't even run!

cheapest netflix pack locally is rm17 per month, right?

in india... it's rm12 per month.

and that's not good enough!!

this ALT in India charges rm18 PER YEAR!



boy, can u ever expect unifi tv or astro or dimsum to go that low?!!

more likely they cry loud loud "ban the boxes"!!

Game of Thrones is not on Netflix, is it?

Dirilis Ertugrul.... u watching this?!

On netflix, 4 seasons... each season average 100 episodes x 43 min.

season 5 not available, rights not secured.

but u can watch here:
https://historicalfuntv.com/episodes/watch-...on-5-episode-1/

from original turkish tv, this show is 140min per episode, broken into 3 for netflix.

when i started >1 month ago, i wasn't sure if i wud continue... so many many episodes....

i'm now at season 4...!

part history, part fiction, dirilis ertugrul it offers a glimpse into what happened in that part of the world during the 13th-14th centuries.

the show ended with season 5.

Netflix uhd 4k requires 25mbps. Actual is like 18-20.

Audio...
Lossy = dolby, dolby digital plus, dts.
Lossless = dolby true hd, dtshdma, dolby atmos, dtsx.

Netlfix Dolby atmos only found with a few devices... appletv, certain smart tvs.
Others get only lossy dolby digital.

time flies... actually more like 2 months for 3 seasons.

skip the start/end credits, it is <40 min per episode... and i skip certain parts sometimes.

it is not the best show i've watched but is certainly the longest.

great time to binge on it as there is a dearth of good shows at this time.

the actual bit rate is about right, which varies a bit from movie to movie.
https://www.howtogeek.com/338983/how-much-d...es-netflix-use/

seriously, if u find the video and/or audio somewhat lacking, that can only be normal.

becos 15-16mbps bit rate of a compressed (and what else) video from netflix is nowhere near a full bluray's 80-90mbps.

Netflix, i strongly recommend NARCOS.

Main has 3 seasons; season 4 is kind of a reboot, titled Narcos Mexico.

Game of thrones is HBO property.... u won't find on Netflix.

The easiest way to watch GOT is with astro or their apps - astrogo or hbo go - valid only with movies pack.

assuming u have id/pw for the apps and the right devices.

yr Sony TV is ATV... this one is tricky... i cannot be sure if it will work smoothly with the current app version... u gotta try them.

yes.

most with both traditional and simplified chinese subs besides english.

even money heist (spanish) have them.

that tv - netflix 4k, yes.
HDR, i cannot confirm, best u ask actual users:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4778611/+80

that tv - only DD... so, no DD+, DTS or Atmos.
if u want a TV with Atmos capability, u will need to go for other TVs, likely 2-3 times the price.

watched pilot... gave up...

Iron Fist is much better.

iko uwais is there, but the rest isn't.

lacks the cinematic magic of martial arts movies.

not unlike hbo's warrior which has indon fighter joe taslim too.

iron fist has a bit, incl a few good fighters too.

imo, the better "english" martial arts tv shows wud b iron fist and into the badlands.

still, both did not last long, cancelled.
