Has anyone else noticed that the NBC streaming video quality seems to be much better within the last couple of weeks? I watch shows on MSNBC and bravo, and the quality appears to be much better than it was a few weeks ago. Maybe they’ve increased the bit rate?
Yes, they have.
For reference, here is a Google Sheet with technical details about TVE streams: TV Everywhere stream details in Google Sheet
All their streams are around 5.8 mbps now. They used to be in the low 4 mbps before the recent change. They also have ~60 fps now instead of ~30 fps before. However, all video resolutions are down to 720p now but some used to be 1080p.
You win some, you lose some.
