Given that streaming is being seen as the way for the future, this will have to be resolved without delay.
Does anyone get this with the Virgin Media V6? I used to get awful problems with the BBC i-Player on my old Tivo, with freezing, stuttering, etc, but no problems at all with the V6s.
I'd like to think that with decent equipment, sufficient Mbs, and decent signal distribution within the home, we would not suffer from these problems.

And yet the way to watch the Olympics this year if you want full coverage, will be through the Eurosport Player.

So streaming is the way forward, judging by the quoted report - sports fans expect to get buffering and other problems while watching live streaming!
I don't know about anyone else, but I am not prepared to pay a subscription and get a sub-standard service.
Give me a standard channel broadcast any day.
