Sky+

[messerschmitt]

Watched on Sky+ today and it kept pausing every 20 seconds or so, wasn't great for Tuesday's game either, anybody else had the same?

Watched it at my parents; it didn't pause but the picture blurred every 20 minutes for about 30 seconds.

Are you sure it's not just the way we play !?

Mine worked perfectly and I don't even have Sky...

[Walshie is God]

If it's blurring or pausing that's your wifi or Internet on a whole

[whoareyaaa]

Complain they will give you free mine does pause from time to time but seems to be more up to real time than previously 

[Phube]

Absolutely perfect for me, except the sound/commentary seems to have a 1 second delay!

Yeah, that's what I thought; however, we have BT full Fibre, which is supposed to be 2Gbps and costs us £58 a month

[Unabomber]

Mine was great apart from the live feed they were showing 

[messerschmitt]

Speed test is showing we are currently getting 148 Mbps. The tennis is currently buffering every few minutes, not as bad as the football was. I think it must be Sky in our area, going to give them a ring. No doubt they will blame the internet, and they will blame Sky.

148 Mbps is more than enough to stream.

Can't help. Virgin had a software glitch that had the same effect in the first week and had to do an upgrade on all the tv boxes.

Speed into the router is one thing (and often exaggerated imo), but then it gets reduced by certain devices, particularly older devices and so on. But as someone has said 148mbps is more than enough as well.

[FosseSpark]

it cant keep uo with the speed of our build up play..

I don't think it's your internet. It's Sky.

 

I was watching Leicester and the picture kept going blurry every 5 - 15 mins or so (but it never dropped).

 

There have been times on our TV's where someone's been streaming Netflix and Disney simultaneously whilst someone else is using the internet and it all works fine. Yet on Sat it was just me watching Sky+ and the pictured turned to mush every 5 mins.

 

[supernuk]

I watch on the sky sports app and any game on Sky plus is honking video quality. 

[Chelmofox]

Watching Arsenal last night on NowTv and getting loads of break up and it flipping to the 'Our experts are looking into it screen'. Have amazing broadband here, but been getting this a lot on NowTV. Don't know if its just the LG app thats poor?

[djskydiver]

Mine was fine, can’t say the same for the quality of the football

Have also had this at least a few times every game I’ve watched this season (at least 10 so far). It only lasts a second or two but it’s annoying when it happens frequently. 

[Sly]

Mine just randomly drops out. 
 

I restart it and it’s working. 

[sphericalfox]

Sky+ is essentially streaming. If it's dropping out, it's likely your internet is already throttled or you have shite interwebs,

[Sly]

Mine is running now.
