Watching a video
4 Answers
Could anybody help me out there? I can't watch a video over the internet as they just stop and start and drive me to frustration. I have noticed however, I can watch it normally a second time round BUT not always. Then there are other videos (usually US television) where the image and voices are all broken up and even second time round it's the same. Please help!

Some sites (such as youtube) will download the video in full so the second time round it doesn't have to be downloaded again so you can watch it smoothly, other sites (especially live TV sites or places like BBC Iplayer) don't store the video after the first watch so even if you play it again it has to be downloaded all over from scratch.
All you can do is see if you can get a faster connection.
