  Music and TV/movie streaming, and that's about it afaict. I've got it disabled too, and I essentially never see issues unless I go to Netflix.

      That's more of a bonus and not an issue.

      Ohh yeah, that's the only time I've had a problem, but the video has never been that important and if it is it's on Youtube.
