[The Nomad]

Love Friday afternoons once the NZ comp kicks off .

 

[Pieman]

Yep, using Apple TV and signed up for Basic.

 

[Pieman]

Sorted. Thanks for the help.

It's half time in the Reds/rebels game and I've sort of watched a game and a half of stop start rugby on Stan this evening.
The broadcast is stop start, not the games.
Approx 17 buffering stoppages in the NZ game; multiple buffering in the Oz game. Some stoppages were extensive, a few were short but still irritating.
Never had these issues with Fox.

It's been pretty much fine for me. How far is your modem from your TV?

No issues.
Maybe set your Stan feed quality to Auto in case its on HD.

I've just watched the Reds game, and didn't have any issues.

Thanks Adam, passit: I'll look into those issues in the cold light of day.
I should have cooled down too.

I came into the game an hour late and was couldn't find an option to watch from the start, could only watch live which is a problem if ya don't wanna ruin the game. Am I missing something?

I think you have to wait until Stan includes the game in their log of all previous games. I'm not sure when they do that though - certainly well after full time.

If you click on the "More Info" link instead of "Play" you'll get an option to watch live or from the start.

I have never had an issue with the Stan and regularly had issues with Kayo

You need to put the game on your list, it trys to get you to select watch live, move the curser thing to the picture of the game and press the button and you get the option to start at the beginning.

Tonight I learnt that if you stop the game as opposed to pause then you have to go back to the start or go live, you cannot return to when you last watched.

Streaming Stan sport to my tv for the first time today, fuck me this sucks balls. Buffering left right and centre, watching a game in 30 second intervals is not fun

try changing Stan's quality to auto.

 

[Slim 293]

......... and faster internet.

My auto is better than the HD setting, I actually think the HD setting is in SD.

I dont get the buffering, but get a "jerkiness" to the broadcast, it is not smoothe flowing

When we were renovating the Kitchen I moved the router to the hall cupboard and chucked in a couple of Ethernet cables as back haul for a mesh network. Ran a cable out of the mesh access point into the TV and now have buttery smoothness.
