Inside the home streaming to android

I've recently been comparing different android apps running on all my devices, and the TiVo app is really depressing when it comes to streaming :-(.

I've got a Roamio and all attempts to stream a recorded program to any android device results in pauses every few seconds, spinning circles, etc. It has improved a bit. The app can at least recover now (it never used to be able to recover at all - the very first pause you'd have to exit, kill the app, and restart from scratch).

Meanwhile, on the same network, the same router, the same place in the house, the same wifi signal strength, the same android device, running MX Player to watch a video off my computer via the web server works flawlessly. Also the amazon video app, the xfinity video app, the ESPN video app, and youtube all work flawlessly.

Is the roamio just too feeble, or is the android app just too stoopid? Clearly there is no network problems since everything else is flawless.
