    I may have opened the iPad thread on my 24x7 PC which I use for all sorts of stuff but don't recall reading it. So sorry but another fail on your part. You really must be a sad git spying on other board users too.

    If I understand correctly, you are seeing this while using a wi-fi connection. Try using a wired connection. If this stabilises things then it points to interference on the wi-fi knocking the speed down. Maybe other people using the same channel, signal dropping due to laptop positioning or even people walking between your router and your laptop.

    Is Black Bess getting enough hay? Its a long way from wherever to York.

    PS If OP returns they might try changing their wifi channel, if thats what they are using.

    I found last night that by working this literally 12" away from the wifi box then it streams really well.....3.3mbps at times and uninterrupted TV.

    Where I was trying to use it was only 2 rooms away (and 2 walls) - neighbours don't have laptops but I think you might have something about the cable maintaining a stable signal


    thanks to everyone

    OP, download inSSIDer, and scan for wireless signals .
    Ensure that yours is not being interferred with by changing the channel you use if necessary.

    OK, so I've downloaded it and have it running but not sure what I should see.

    Currently there are two laptops on the table receiving the signal from one wi-fi box

    Wrong display, find the one that shows all the 2.4g channels
