It is a RPI3B. I am just trying to find the reason it has has steadily gotten worse over the last few months of upgrades. Netflix and now amazon prime both seem unusable due to screen lockup’s.

It does not seem to be the WiFi as hard wire did the same.

I swapped sd cards and did a complete reinstall. that did not help.

Being I am not computer person. I probably just need to wait and see. Thanks for the response and all the hard work.

 I have had exactly the same problem with Netflix. It was stuttering to the point of being unwatchable, but I think you're right that the quality is set too high. Switching to Ethernet had no visible effect. My WiFi is downloading at 55mb/s, and streams fine on all other devices.

Amazon was streaming at 720p and it's perfect, so @hagertyoh try dropping Netflix's max streaming to 720p and see how it plays. 

I have another question for you, too, @Milhouse.

I've noticed there were a few issues with PVR during the thread. I've got my PVR streaming perfectly fine. I'm using PVRSimple and have tried a few different m3u playlists. I don't know whether this is an issue with the build, the add-on or if it's just me. But I cannot get a playlist to work if it's stored remotely. Using local playlists that I've stored on the Pi, I've got it streaming. But, I cannot get the TV guide to show what's on the channels.
