whilst I appreciate the ops view, in acuality it really is utter tosh. Streaming on the pb is superb in my opinion. this is films, tv, live sports, bot on screen and connected thru hdmi to my tv. remember, buffering is down to the size of the file, speed of your wifi network more than the units capability to plqy it.
however I am always watching all manner of streams on mine and its one (of many) areas it outperforms both the ipad and android variants
