Amazon video is crap, January 6, 2012
This review is from: Top Chef Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I rarely ever purchase videos online when I can find them on Hulu or Sidereel for free, but I really wanted to watch this episode of Top Chef (and couldn't find it elsewhere), so I decided to splurge on a fancy 99 cent Amazon tv show. And boy, was I astounded by how terrible the quality was. The loading time is absolutely terrible, this show has been buffering for over half an hour but still won't play. I'm getting a "very poor signal" despite having a strong WiFi connection that readily loads other videos while this one slogs along and intermittently freezes. One would think that the Amazon version of the video would be of superior quality than that of a pirated version on Megavideo, but clearly that is not the case. Do not waste money on crappy Amazon shows when you can find faster-loading, higher-quality versions for free elsewhere.
