Hi All, I have just started to use my amazon prime prescription to watch some of their movies.
I am using a relatively old (2012) Samsung 40 inch smart tv. The first movie I selected played well for around 10 minutes then started to buffer. So I tried another movie and this one started to buffer after about 5 minutes. I did a speed test and was getting around 8.5 download speed. My adsl is wifi but the router is direct lined to the tv. Surely 8.5 should be fast enough or do you think it is a tv fault?

Can anyone out there give any assistance as I am new to streaming?
Thanks

Check its not 4k or hdr , normal hd should be ok at 8.5 but if its not stable at that speed or if other users are online it will cause buffering. Unlike netflix as the bitrate auto adjusts to your net speed
