Wondering if anyone here is having the same issue I am with the HBO Go app on Roku - and I realize I'm probably peeing in the wind here given that HBO Go requires subscription authentication against a cable provider in the US and not too many here will have that (I'm lucky enough to be using a family member's subscription).

I have a Samsung TV with a Roku 3 and UnoTelly thru Slingshot at my house, and at my daughter's place she has a Samsung TV with Roku Streaming Stick, UnoTelly and Orcon. Up until recently (approx the last 6 weeks) HBO Go was always in HD but now it is in SD (or worse) when played thru the Roku's. However, when played using the Sammie SmartHub app it is in HD, as it is when using the PC or tablet. This is happening at both my place and my daughter's.

I have tried changing the UnoTelly DNS server from AKL to SYD or even LA to see if that is the issue, but no go. I posted the question on the Roku forum (obviously without mentioning I am accessing thru a DNS service and outside the USA as they get very precious about that) and one of the guys mentioned it's possible the Roku's are using a different CDN than the TV and PCs. If it is I would expect this would be affecting a ton of people and not just me.

I've logged a ticket with UnoTelly and they are looking into it, but I just thought I would ask and see if anyone else is also having this issue. Because I have two different ISPs (even though they are owned by the same parent) and I have two different UnoTelly accounts I am using then the only common factor is the Roku's.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? UnoTelly got me to try the HBO Speed Test setting but it made no difference at all.

Thanks.
