| 696217 | 2008-08-10 05:31:00 | Why can I not watch the olympics on tvone/olympics site. It is all jittery and impossible to watch on live video streaming. It uses windows media player as a platform . Im damned if I can get to work properly, in fact I seem to have alot of trouble with other video streaming sites. Is the problem just network congestion?? Im no expert but I know I have a super fast broadband wireless connection , so what is the problem. Cheers |

| 696218 | 2008-08-10 05:33:00 | Probably congestion or the wireless | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

There is your problem, wireless connection is not designed for streaming video, a bit like playing games on a wireless connection. What speeds do you get when you do a speed test at http://www.speedtest.net ?? I have been streaming Olympic Games live Video for the last three days with out much of a problem here on Xtra ADSL (Go Large) |

| 696220 | 2008-08-10 05:52:00 | Well I am watching streaming right now with no probs - and I'm on an old crap rural exchange that is mediocre at the best of times. And I have a few torrents going at the same time, so I dont know why you are having jittery streams *Edit* As Stu says - your wireless is probably the "weak link" |

| 696222 | 2008-08-10 13:19:00 | Sorry but that's not 'super fast', you can usually adjust the player to match your download speed though (look under Tools>Options in WMP for instance), you can also change the buffer size so you can download more of the video before it plays. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 696223 | 2008-08-10 21:17:00 | Is this using FireFox? I have a similar experience, but using IE, no issues. | PeebZ (454) | ||

| 696225 | 2008-08-11 04:27:00 | Jeanmouloud are you in NZ? Or do you live in the US? If you live in NZ then head over to: tvnz.co.nz if you don’t live in NZ then you will have to try & get the NBC feed to work. PS: to watch NBC live stream you need to enter your zip code & your either need Microsoft Silverlight Site http://www.silverlight.net/ or flash. And Welcome to PressF1 :D |
