I watched last night, and had a few problems. But here's what I learned/had to do.

The PPV plays best on Chrome of the options I had available. Edge and the Samsung internet app was a failure. Didn't have Foxfire to try. While Chrome did best I had low quality resolution during the heats and ran into some bad buffering at heat 9. I have 24mbps internet; that usually streams everything well, but not RacinBoys. So what my final resolution was, was to hot spot off of my cell phone onto my laptop that was connected to my TV and the streaming was MUCH improved video quality in terms of resolution and play through. I did have one bad stretch of buffering later in the night before the A using hot spot..

So buyer beware, that there are issues; but they are not necessarily RacinBoys issues. Something either about the building or the RacinBoys stream does seem to make folks more prone to issues streaming than other folks; but there are people that aren't having issues and it seems to come down to internet connection and browsers; as I could tell differences with each change I was making.

And now that I'm thinking about it, it was RacinBoys Chili Bowl coverage 2 years ago on Saturday that I had to hotspot from my cell phone in order to get smooth streaming.
