Vm don't seem to want to even acknowledge the issue on the support forum, presumably because they don't have a solution. Blaming the BBC ain't going to work forever when iplayer works fine on other platforms.

So true the Virgin mantra seems to be, it is not our fault we are just a conduit.

Perhaps the need a "bigger" bore pipe in that case :D

Re: Buffering on TV catchup

I get it too, somewhere I heard that it is due to marginal signal strength on the cable connection

Re: Buffering on TV catchup

I would think that if it was congestion my 60meg broadband would slow at the same time, but speedtest still 40-50, plenty ample.I get better picture & less buffering on slingbox on normal programs off Tivo over the internet, than iplayer in living room on Tivo via its dedicated virgin broadband. Thinking about that,if it was possible, maybe could one connect it direct to the normal broadband to see if it worked better. If it was signal strength problem I would guess that there would be no improvement, but if congestion might be better??
