Re: BBC buffering
 
I had a nightmare trying to watch Channel 4 one day last week. We had watched it fine the night before then the next night it froze so many times i just gave up and put TV back on. Friday night we watched it again and for 2 hours it was perfect with no issues whatsoever.
Using mediahint too. BTW

Ok thanks, will try that. We use Unblockus and Chrome.

I might be wrong but media hint etc changes the DNS? DNS settings just link websites together that shouldn't have any affect on speeds.

BBC is always slow and buffering especially with 6 Nations... Iplayer works well on Xbox though.

No, still typing. There is no verbal communication on an internet forum. Which was rather my point.
