Crunchyroll and Hidive, but you would think Hulu would be above that.

I guess it depends on your area and internet speed. Just a guess.

However, it would fall farther and farther behind. One football game had been over for 45 minutes, and we were still midway in the fourth quarter — knowing who won; we gave up.

We had a first generation Firestick. We replaced it with a newer model, and while the problem still occurs, occasionally, it is nowhere near as bad as it was.
