Postby cheekybru » 23 Mar 12, 12:52

Ive been using it to watch the F1 channel, and last weekend it was great, been wathcing P1 on it this morning to and the stream has been jerky all through, its not doing it on any other channels. Anyone else having this problem?

Nope I'm using my IPad to switch between the forums and SkyGo F1 and it's not slow at all. All I can say is make sure you are connected to a good wi-fi and downloading anything if you have a laptop pc etc may also slow your connection.

All my channels work fine? Maybe restarting your router and re-installing the app? Is all I can think of :confused:

I was watching Free Practice 2 on Sky Go last night and it was a little jittery, streaming at 2.9mbps but jittery, found out that because I am running SETI@Home, it was making the video jittery, paused processing on SETI and it played fine, so maybe you have something running in the background that is using a lot of CPU power! Of course, it you mean jittery like stop/start, then I didn't have that problem, just a slow framerate, bit like watching a slideshow!
