Can anyone advise if there's a way in which to improve the quality from my side, on DSTV Now catchup? I'm running my catchup through a Windows 8 notebook PC, hard-wired network and network speeds are decent. To compare, I watch Netflix and Amazon Prime video at UHD/4K quality through the same PC, linked to the same network, through a hub. I'm of the opinion the DSTV server is slow, or is it my PC that causes the slow/pixelated/buffering catchup? I watch DSTV Now live TV on the same PC/TV setup and that's great quality (not HD, but acceptable)
 
I have been having some serious issues with streaming catchup titles form DSTV now. Live TV works fine, but the catchup often just will not work, even when changing to low quality. Showmax and Netflix stream fine, even at 1080p, and definitely do not have a problem with my internet connection (40mbps fibre).
 
Quality on live tv has taken a hit since their "update" on my ATV4.
