i have a fibre connection through Fibrehoods and Vox. i am finding almost impossible to watch live sport on my PC. I have tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge, all have the same issue. whilst watching a game, the play seems to skip a bit and then go back in time and I end up watching the same bit of play 3 or 4 times. then, the play freezes and the little wheel appears. Does anyone else experience similar issues and more impoortantly, does anyone have a solution?

using ntv at home, and it works.
I stream a lot of the skynews hd channels especially for the T20 world cup.
TIP:
wrote a little guide to stream NTV to your smart device: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/805827-Sports-on-your-smart-TV-or-Streaming-Device

Supersport streaming is a nightmare. You're not the only one, don't worry. Their app has gone for a ball of s**t now too. I've recently been experiencing two issues:
1) Will be watching when suddenly it will freeze (with the circular buffering icon spinning) and go back to the stream menu screen with the replay (see pic). I then have to get up and go reload the page
2) This hasn't happened too much but the stream will be on the go, when it will just switch to a black screen with a message along the lines of Error: Stream not found. Same story, have to get up and refresh the page to get the stream playing again.
Even the replays buffer repeatedly. This despite everything else being ok (Netflix, YouTube etc)
The thing is that despite it's flaws, the picture is still good so it's great when it works. Just better not start its nonsense with F1 and MotoGP starting this week.

Works 100's on my 2mb line,when i watched on my bro's 4mb the picture is hd just like the decoder. I did however experience that backwards skip and then skip to normal time briefly during the stormers game,then again im only running 1.7mb max at time so guess im streaming at 1.4ish mb it looks like 480p sd so im all happy.
i was wondering, do you use unotelly? if so, what dns servers are you pointed to? i am not technical, but maybe that has an impact?
Not at all. My bro did with his 4mb line and it was pointed to the jhb one. We are from cpt,try using the app on your phone with wifi or a tablet see how it works . I mean u have a fibre conection u should have no problem with streaming.
Go to the dstv page and watch the channels from there rather than the supersport page,im using chrome and win 10
