  1. Thank you for the Samsung smart tv app on their hub, but it can only stream 480p without buffering.

    I as well have this issue. To stream twitch on my TV I have to connect both TV and my PC to the same network, then use Steamlink (free with steam) to broadcast my desktop to the TV in 1080p, then open up twitch.tv in my browser and set it to full-screen. Then I can enjoy full-screen 1080p twitch on my TV, however, I do not think it's 1080p 60 as it is on my PC.
    I do not understand why I have the resources to broadcast from my computer to my TV while playing twitch streams on my computer in 1080p60 but the app cannot seem to load 1080p60 on my TV without constant buffering.
    I've heard that the network (LAN) port on the TV is only 100 mbit (12.5~Mbit) ethernet, and the WiFi connection is probably 144mbit, but i cannot imagine that twitch is using more bandwidth than 12.5Mbit/s.
    This is a conundrum.
