Futubox

For me I am going to utilize Netflix and Hulu atm. I am finding Futubox to laggy and frustrating. I don't have issues on the other two. My kids can watch wirelessly on my ipad from Netflix without issues. Fair enough it is SD, but laggy free.

Yeah, thats pretty much my experience. I have Netflix, Hulu, Put.io and now this. Futubox is the only one I have problems with. Its improved a bit, but still lags out every couple of minutes. Still not worth me buying again. I hope they sort it out, because I like having access to international channels like this (dont like the ads though!).
 
Are you using the net while streaming? I find even the smallest use causes mine I stutter a second.

You sure you watching at the correct time and not when telemarketing is on? I haven't really noticed adverts unless in-between shows.

Im watching the History Channel and theyre History Channel ads...
 
I have buffering and some lag on my side and this is due to me being to far from my Exchange so HD will not work. SD works fine but buffers now and then but 90% of the time it is good to go.

Seems you're out of luck then, many people, including myself - don't have that problem.

I am running an 8mb line and am 1.5 km from the exchange.

My NZB's run at max (825Kb/s) but I can't stream from Futubox smoothly. I am on Afrihost business uncapped.
 
Well I like to give as balanced view on my technology experiences. I haven't had one stutter today so I am more happy with the product. British adverts are still terribly long on History channel :(
 
After I bought a month code, and using it for a few days I must say its not all that. If it atleast had SkySports 1 English in HD i would of been more happy, but its got SkySports 1 in HD for all the other languages :( All the local rugby gets shown on SkySports 4 which isnt part of this package. Quite sad. Luckily there are still some good free streams that do the job while I continue not to support dstv :P
 
Does anyone else find some live streams just freeze?

I've had E! HD and Sky new HD freeze on me this morning..:(

Yeah, I have this happen every now and again.

Wonder what codec they are using. They're inefficient codecs. Put.io uses a much more effcient codec.
 
WTF... seriously. The UK television sucks. Infomercials on history channel and Syfy. I kid you not. Its like watching SABC!
