Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

Depends on your connection sometimes it's best to pause for a couple of mins to let it build up, personally i just hit play and it never buffers for me i'm on bt infinity1 38mbs.

Buffering in what? Netflix? If it buffers maybe you have over-utilisation in your area? If you do you're due a loss of service credit. I have, supposedly,
50Mb but am paying about £3 a month due to my speed dropping to less that 5Mb after 7pm.

No, not Netflix, the players for Channels 1 to 5. Some are better than others.

Do you mean on your V+? If so, there is no buffer, and so no benefit to pausing it.

Anyone know what happened to Person of Interest on Netflix US? It said we could watch season 4 on September 25. Past that, and it isn't on Netflix US. Or Netflix UK.
