    It’s amazing I have never had a problem with my picture or reception on @PrimeVideo but all of a sudden as soon as they get @NFLonPrime now it’s a problem 🤔 🙄🤬 #NFL #annoyingaf

    @PrimeVideo Why is the video quality so poor on the NFL with Prime? #NFLTwitter #

  • LoveMIIrish
    Go Irish! Beat Herd! (@LoveMIIrish) reported

    So when you watch #thursdaynightfootball on @PrimeVideo using a @Control4 system, the audio is a full 6-8 seconds ahead of the video. Not the first time audio has been out of sync w/video watching live TV on #Control4, but this is the worst I've experienced.

    @ajassy @NFL @PrimeVideo And guess what...a complete failure! Horrible quality!

    @amazon @PrimeVideo @NFL The big reason streaming sports sucks is because of the #spinning wheel of death while you wait for your Wi-Fi signal to re-connect. Of course the problem rarely happens, surprise, during the ads.

    @JeffAllen71 @PrimeVideo Mine was great through the first half but has been awful through most of the second.

    @bopalah @PrimeVideo @NFLonPrime Completely worthless viewing experience. It goes fro, low def to high def in 1-2 seconds. I have 1gb internet and no help. 56k dialup 15 years ago was just as good as tonight

    @PatMcAfeeShow Its trash. Sound is ahead of the play, stream is choppy. Not an internet issue, its a @PrimeVideo issue

    @PrimeVideo needs to figure things out because this #TNF game is absolute terrible quality. Blurrier than Velma’s vision without her glasses

    @ajassy @PrimeVideo @NFL The video quality is horrible. It’s a dark picture, with a lot of comments on Twitter about the same thing.

    @PrimeVideo Hopefully you fix this horrible stuttering during your broadcast of TNF by the time the @ChicagoBears play in a few weeks.

  • tron_duck
    Jimmy (@tron_duck) reported

    If @PrimeVideo is going to force all of America to pay to watch TNF they need to fix their broadcast. Can’t be having the game go all blurry every time the ball is snapped

    This has got to be the worst clock operator in TNF history. Dude just keeps the clock going on sideline outs and incompletions smh #tnf @PrimeVideo @NFLOfficiating #wheredotheyfindthesepeople

    This video quality is pathetic. I can’t even tell what’s going on half the time. @PrimeVideo step up the quality or don’t force us to watch it through you #KCvsLAC

    @PrimeVideo @KingJames I can watch on my 4 inch phone but not 60 inch t.v. because it won't show in app. Glad I always pay my bill on time. I was on with tech support for entire game. To hear they have issue with vizio TV and app

    I’ve watched #TNFonPrime @PrimeVideo in my office, family room, loft and on my phone and zero issues so far other than my wife ate my first sandwich and kids ate the second.

    Wow @amazon @PrimeVideo This broadcast is unwatchable. Worst streaming experience since dial-up.

    @PrimeVideo Guys, now that you have two KILLER shows in #Reacher and #TerminalList, and you have #TNF, dear God, please put together a better video player. Rewinding and fast forwarding is the worst I've seen since 2009. Have Bezos chip in a couple scruples.
