Question:

What are the changes introduced by Netflix 2.1 app and how does adaptive streaming work?

 

Answer:

The Netflix 2.1 app released by Netflix included many changes. One of the biggest changes was the addition of adaptive streaming. Adaptive streaming will automatically adjust the picture quality of the video content from HD to SD depending on the fluctuations in your network speed. This is done without the movie needing to re-buffer. However, these changes in video quality can produce a momentary blank signal or a "Blink", this is normal. If you are experiencing a lot of changes to the picture quality you should contact your ISP and router company to troubleshoot the fluctuations in your network speed.
