Although the recent weekend's Grand Prix was shown as available on the humax iPlayer, it wouldnt play (buffer wheel spun a few times the iPlayer said 'no'). However it did play on my PC. Why a difference?

The HD and SD versions works fine on my HDR1000S

It seems to be hit and miss which suggests to me server connect problems at their end.

This happened a few times with the Grand Prix last year too. Is a pain as although it works on the PC it's a bit jerky, and watching car stutter along for 90 mins isnt as good.

I had no problem watching it on my HB-1000s.
What actual internet download and streaming speeds you get, when testing here? If it's less than 2Mb (2000kbps), that could be the cause. Since "recommended" down speed should be "at least" 2Mb. And if your box detecting less, it might just not bother to start playing without telling you why.| Wed 2 Apr 2014 14:52:07 #5 | -
Catinaz.. I'm on fibre.. FAST
All other broadcasts I tried that evening on iPlayer were fine.. even the 'post GP' show was playing OK, just the race itself would play. I cant recall the exact wording but sentiment was 'program not available try later' type of thing.

In this case only explanation I could think of is that the problem was at "their" (BBC) end, what ever it was. Don't think there is anything wrong with your box (iPlayer). Now, that you've mentioned, I remember couple of times in, the past, watching something on iPlayer (PC) in HD and half way got "insufficient bandwidth" message. Even though I am on virgin 20Mb fiber as well.| Thu 3 Apr 2014 16:16:56 #7 |
