Streaming at just 284 on Lg BD350 and 550

Hi all - have just reported this via chat, but thought I'd post here in case anyone has a simple solution.

 

BT homehub 5 connection @ 10mb, LG BD box hardwired to router using an ethernet cable.  Both boxes (in turn) give a streaming speed of just 284 on Sky Sports channels using the Now TV app. Apps updated to current version, nothing else running on the network (except my macbook !)

 

Any thoughts ?

 

Many thanks

 

Mike

Hi Just wondered if anyone has found a solution to this problem. Bought a sports pass today, streaming rate is a ridiculously low 90!!! Using NowTV ap on recently purchased LG-BP350 (sofware updated), wireless (no ethernet port). Router is Netgear DG834G, download speed 14 Mbps, rebooted several times. Tried with two TVs, Sony Bravia 720p & new Panasonic 1080p, with the same result. Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Thanks for posting,

 

That is rather odd though depending on how many devices use your network that 14 Mbps might not stretch that far, it'a also worth checking if your ISP is subject to any kind of bandwidth shaping.

 

Another thing you could try is changeing he wireless channel on the router to see if this improves the quality.

 

Thanks
