HD channels buffering

[NAUDITOR]

I am happy for you guys, enjoy i guess it up the shitty creek for all those like myself with less than than 10mb and wireless since the upgrade, all was pretty better b 4 it

Nauditor, Where do you live that you can only get 10mb, thats just insane, Might as well have dialup. I dont think i have had a 10mbit connection since 04.

Well mi brethen welcome to jamdown where degicel and flow compete to give us f.........ery, as to internet pardon my language, where flow is the more consistent and all we get, moreso in the rural areas is 10 and alittle more but nothing in the 15s and 20s. I guess i am f...k if i have to use wireless as in my case so complain i will or toss the dam thing out.

Honestly at 10mb you should be able to run this with little to no issues I would contact your provide and see if they are throttling or can perhaps give you a better route to the source...

I live in Mexico and my ISP (Telmex/Infinitum) has my modem capped at 4Mb... I normally get about 3.3 on a speed test. Even with that low speed everything was working fine until the channels were converted to HD. I still get lots of channels in SD and they work fine.

I'm sure there are lots of peeps with the same problem with the HD channels as our bandwidth just isn't sufficient and I realise it's not a problem with the server but with the internet.... that is why I have not complained. It would be nice if the server guys would take into account that not everyone had HD quality internet, and maybe double up some of the channels with both HD and SD.

That's a really good point. They could create SD versions for those channels. Who doesn't have a very great internet won't be affected and the server will keep this clients.

Since my earlier comment, I have watched 2 PPV movies (501 & 503) which are listed as 720 HD... and I get zero buffering. So some HD work fine while others do not. Are all the channels coming from the same place or do the PPV's have a different route ???

ppvs and vods are delivered differently than regular IPTV channels, through a different protocol.

Well instead of beating what i suspect is now a dead horse i guess we'll just have to wait until either the server guys feel generous and oblige us to the request or our internet providers bump up the switch and my speed suddenly becomes lightening fast so until either happens i will just chill since the problem is now known but no corrective action yet
