It's streaming completely smooth and uninterrupted on my laptop (mac air) but through the wifi blu-ray with Serviio, sometimes it's really choppy. And Serviio doesn't allow fast-forwarding, so have to sit through commercials.
So the device matters. I just ordered a toggle so I can hook the laptop directly to the TV via HDMI, but is anyone else finding a device that is smooth so I don't need to leave my laptop connected to the TV? chromecast? apple tv? don't really want to buy a roku if I don't have to (sony blu-ray already does all that stuff I need).
Generally though, much higher quality picture (actual HD) than broadband league pass last year, and psyched to avoid blackouts.
