That's broadband contention in your area. But hang in there - plans are afoot to dedicate more capacity to Tivo.

Hi Spiderplant,

I get iPlayer buffering on Tivo in my area (Gravesend) but also on my XBOX 360, which runs off my, recently speed-doubled, 100Meg connection. Web surfing is perfect, now, touch wood, after about year of poor performance. So, I was wondering if this is due to insufficient capacity at the BBC, or is it due, maybe, to the way VM prioritises streaming traffic? Or maybe the MS servers need more capacity? I prefer the iPlayer UI on the XBOX to the Tivo, although the PQ is not as good.

Regards

Dave
