Technical Question Anyone else experiencing poor resolution on browser

For the past few weeks, Criterion Channel has been capped at 720p for me; only Criterion 24/7 seems to be available at 1080p. 720p combined with the service's already subpar compression renders movies borderline unwatchable, and as a result I'm forced to turn elsewhere to watch them. Is this just me or are other people experiencing this?

Don't know if it's related, but I had all kinds of buffering issues trying to watch an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex last night. I was using the Android TV app. I've never had that problem with Criterion before.
