zach   235 #2 Posted June 10, 2019 I've used them in the past and they did the job ok. They are dependant on your internet connection and only do HD 720p (or mine did) I seem to remember numbers like 5Mbps required to stream.  Is your internet speed up to the job?

alchresearch   214 #8 Posted June 17, 2019 That could be your problem. Have you done a speedtest, especially on wireless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
blue9iron   10 #9 Posted June 17, 2019 Yes getting about 34 Mbps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
walkertelecoms   16 #10 Posted July 1, 2019 Though you're getting 34mb (what are you using to test it btw) it doesn't mean you're getting 34mb at the Box end. Always better to hard wire data to any media streaming device rather than wifi. Get your router over behind the TV it'll run a lot better.

oldskool   11 #11 Posted July 12, 2019 I noticed this buying a better tv with more advanced motion handling helped, but on my old tv i never noticed ball ghosting on match of the day ect during terrestrial broadcasts like on now tv makes me wonder how sky will fare when they ditch dishes and go fully broadband.  now tv is getting a 1080p upgrade in august i've heard that might make it worse 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
