Does anyone else have problems with YouTube HD streams? They constantly start and stop despite me having a fast connection (20Mbits/s). 

It happens on all my machines which are running different operation systems and firewalls etc with all browsers.


Many thanks!

Re: YouTube HD Streams

I have the same problem, but assume its down to my 1Meg connection.  If I want to watch something I will generally go away and let it download wholly first.  After that it plays fine.

Re: YouTube HD Streams

Have you run a broadband speed test? You may find you are not getting 20 megabits after all.

Re: YouTube HD Streams

No problems with Youtube HD or BBC HD iPlayer streams. (10mbps cable broadband).

Not only that, but we often have at leat two computers (or the BDP-S370) somewhere in the house streaming HD simultaneously.

However, our cable broadband is rock solid and has never dipped below 9.8mbps when tested. (To be honest I rarely test it.)
