Stuttering playback of new DIRECTV streaming 4K channel
I started watching the new DIRECTV streaming 4K channel last month. It continues to deliver very choppy video playback especially when the camera is moving. I’m watching it on an LG OLED TV and the HDR picture looks great but the choppy playback is making it unwatchable. I’m watching it on the Roku ultimate player and other 4K HDR channels like Apple TV nature shows playback perfectly. Any suggestions? Thanks

CNN is badly stuttering as well on the bottom ticker. Very annoying.

The 4K stream of the World Series stutters like crazy on 4K Apple TV boxes (both 2nd and 3rd gen), but it works just fine on $30 Amazon 4K Firesticks.
DTV's 4K encoding is probably challenging to some streaming boxes.

I have the Roku ultimate box and it seems to handle everything else perfectly. Maybe there’s a setting in the Roku system preferences that I can adjust? Not a big deal but really annoying to watch. Thanks for the comment.

I dunno about Roku, but most streaming boxes allow little to no consumer tuning. I've only seen this problem with my Apple stuff on DirecTV. Apple has all kinds of networking issues with iOS 17.1, so that may be the issue.
