Polantaris Wrote:I can't stand using the Wii U's Internet browser. I was doing that for SGDQ and it was a terrible experience. The stream looked like pomegranate, it timed out frequently, and the Wii U liked to decide that I was no longer using it, dim out the screen, but not un-dim it after I did things on it. It was so annoying I gave up and dealt with the 2 monitor deal on my PC. Neither way is fun, honestly. Maybe my Wii U is too far from my router if you're having no issues with it, I know that the Wii U has a horrid network adapter, but I don't have a way to get it any closer, so it's not really an option for me.

SGDQ was a terrible experience though. (or am i mixing up S and AGDQ again?)

My personal wii u, which i have only had for literally ONE xanadu (it was last night), is right next to my router. However my friends wii u which i have been watching xanadu at since long before the summer even started (and even the wii u invitational) is several dozen feet from his router. Around 6-8 reasonable steps away. Both his router and internet plan are worse than mine and he's starting to have trouble with online play in MK8, and yet i have never experienced what could be described as a frustrating viewing experience with twitch on the wii u browser with either his set up or mine.

The wii u itself is built around being able to do s'hit while you do s'hit, but the internet is the exact opposite of that. Stuff like picture quality (which you're either hugely critical of or your internet just isn't good enough to keep up with streaming or some other reason) i can't really help with but the rest i guarantee is solve-able. 90% of solutions have to do with refreshing, though. Once you have it going it's difficult to have it bork on you and it's difficult for things to go bad in the first place so...

Of course there are (expensive? extreme?) alternatives. The twitch app seems to be the best way to watch twitch period so if you have the power to get your phone screen on the TV...
