ABC Streaming Now Worst of Net
ABC.com was one of the first places where we got our streaming TV from. Now we barely even want to go there. From the EXTREMELY loud autoplaying front page to the terrible streaming experience, I’m absolutely hating using ABC.com now. On a Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz system with a dedicated graphics card, even the non-HD stream skips and stutters and the HD stream just doesn’t work at all. The audio doesn’t sync well at all, either. It’s just terrible. Maybe one day they’ll join all of the other networks and stream through Hulu, where the experience is far superior in both look and sound even if it doesn’t have as much HD.
Now, to be fair, it’s not ABC per se but there choice in the streaming player. Everyone else uses Flash (or Silverlight). Not ABC. And it’s the player that sucks.
We try to watch about four shows on ABC, but we’ve reduced it to just two since the experience is so bad. We’ll drop them completely if they aren’t strong enough to keep us interested over the terrible player.
