Re: TiVo Multiroom Streaming Problem

Does it happen if you stream in the opposite direction? Does it happen on SD recordings or just HD?
It happens in both directions. I have only noticed it on HD recordings as I rarely watch SD. I have noticed that it tends to happen between 8.00 and 9.00 pm but as I only watch TV in the evenings this might just be a coincidence. The worst problem I had was watching a Sky Cinema recording which stopped three times within an hour.

I first encountered the problem using Netgear homeplugs and upgraded to faster TP-Link ones but with no improvement. Next I tried a direct connection with a cat 5e cable via a gigabit switch with the same result. I am now using a 15 metre cat 5e direct TiVo to TiVo connection and still getting this problem.

One other thing to note - often when I first try and connect I get the message 'Unable to find network - try again'. I try again and it connects. All goes well for up to a couple of hours but sooner or later I get the 'Network too slow' message. I must then start the recording from the beginning and fast forward.
