    Now running very well for me. Perhaps 1 viideo per set 'sticks' typically the second one.


    I have a theory that SB have increased the ask on available download bandwidth for the advertising. This being too low is one of the reasons they give for videos not loading


    If I purposefully drain the performance of my PC by opening and running other things Watch will invariably stop next video. I am therefore picking off the usual quick wins and them running it standalone after for the rest of the day to pick off 50-60 SB


    I guess I am suggesting it is worthwhile trying it on its own and nothing else after a reboot, clear cache etc to see if it plays unaided. It could also be that your internet connection is very poor. This is usually easily checked by looking for a BT logo on your router :D

    Glad Watch is working for you MMMoff. Mine's not at the moment, but I went from a dodgy 3Mbs to great 39Mbs back in March and it made no difference to the way Watch plays, although I'm pretty sure the previous connection dropouts caused a couple of soft bans. They just seem to have a clear out or rehash once or twice a year which brings things back to smooth running.

    Admittedly it was just over a week ago Watch suddenly started for me. The PC I trust Swagbucks on is old and because of a G series router will only get about 25MBps of the 350MBps I get from Virgin. Certainly, for me anyway, Watch will run on its own, try and get something else working with it and it becomes very temperamental.
    I'm using Firefox and have blocked Microsoft upgrading me from Windows 7 so perhaps I am just fortunate. I never get issues with Play etc.
    I say that and today very weirdly I've not been paid the daily bonuses. Like you say they will always find a way...

    Again says 20 minutes for 120 SB, takes a few minutes at most


    Good to see the future license money being spent so wisely :beer:

    Not today but had one last week and another to come, there must be a glitch somewhere. I think my trigger was a Swago click and the other was when I was randomly clicking shops to get Team Challenge points. I certainly didn't buy anything unless I was rally drunk one night! Nothing has arrived though, so that can't be it:rotfl:
