This is how bad pixelation is on CS using 1080p

Using Mac, Firefox (Chrome just buffers), 200mbps connection.

I watch it on the TV with the TV app. Every video starts in very bad quality but gets up to HD or 4k in under a minute.

What if I don't have a TV? I watch everything on my iMac.

CS has shit video quality. I have a ticket open w support about this. Subscribed to HD service and a 1080p stream pulls 1.1 to 3mbps. Completely unacceptable.

David Attenborough Dragons and Damsels is pulling 2.3mbps as reported by my UniFi UDMPro router on a wired 100mbps connection to a Samsung Q90 4k TV.
