    Assuming both devices share the same internet connection...

    Have you checked to see if your broadband is still up to speed. Something like https://www.speedtest.net should help get an idea.

    Might also be worth rebooting your router if it has been on for a long time.

    Thanks tried what you suggested and still the same. Don't have a laptop at the month so unable to check speed. Any other suggestions anyone?

    What are you posting your messages on here with? If an iPad then you can get the speedtest app for it :)

    does the tv allow you to pause it, wait for it to download, then play

    Speedtest app also available on Android. No point going any further until you find out your internet speed to be honest...

    are they the right way around?

    very slow, if you have an extension you could remove the bellwire
