I thought i'd watch some telly tonight, so i went over to BBC2's website and tried to watch a program..... didn't work got 5 seconds, buffered, played 4 seconds buffered... Okay i thought, set buffer to 15 seconds manually, WMP went off again, taking about 1 min to buffer 45 seconds. This is on a rather spanky janet connection, i never have any problems getting 10meg a second + from US peers and LINX peers. Okay, i'll try real player (WHY?! do they use this). This played for about 8 seconds, at a noticeably lower quality, then came up with an error, and i've been unable to connect with realplayer or WMP since.
Honestly BBC, just stick up 2 clips and have them work, rather than twelvety that don't!
