Re: TiVo bandwith issues

I was wondering if this was just me - I tried to watch a 20 min clip on my Tivo earlier and gave up (it was full HD). I then tried to watch the same clip on my laptop - when I turned the quality right down (480p) it streamed OK, at 720p and 1080p it wouldn't work over my 60mb connection.

I wouldn't describe myself as a heavy user so I cannot imagine I have ever been traffic managed (we watch an occasional you tube clip but other than that nothing more than general web browsing.

I am taking part in the SamKnows broadband study, and based on that I don't generally have problems with my connection which makes me think this is related to YouTube.

I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a way to fix this, or a way to make Tivo select lower quality streams?

Incidentally, this is the report I got for January showing the speeds detected by the SamKnows monitoring device - Kudos to Virgin there are very few times when I drop below my stated speed.
