Hi All,
Just wondering if everyone else experiences the same, essentially terrible,
quality of the BBC's internet streaming videos (i.e. realplayer, windows
media, etc.). They always seem to arrive at substantially less than half the
indicated bandwidth and so skip frames to the order of 80/90%+ (i.e. 80/90%
of the video is not shown).
They seem to have managed to get their audio streams (radio stations) to
operate reasonably decently and reliably but the video has almost always
seemed close to dire or abysmal! (It also seems they may have now stopped
their lowest bandwidth stream option which sometimes at least seemed
passable!).
All input, experiences, thoughts, etc. welcomed.
Thanks and best wishes,
