it will play for 2-5m and then stop. I've watched quite a bit previously w/o this happening, anyone know why it's doing it now?

seems like you're stream cache is getting jammed up or something. Probably a spyware. get spybots s&d for free from their site and use VLC Media player for free, easy download and install, no codec updates needed, on www.videolan.org. Also, where are you? Did you live outside U.S. try hotspot sheild. run a virus scan as well. What speed is your interent supposed to be? www.speedtest.com we need more details to help you out.

Ido! Alright their are a few posibilys. 1 is your cumputer/laptop .... like it does not have enough memory hard to exsplain and then somtimes to get i it frezes try clicking the next part of the movie and it will just skip it. I hope that was what you ment! LOL - alliecatcool

Hulu is only site that works here. Most videos, even lower bitrate don't work. Like on tvw.org, I see little diff between 500 kps stream and 300 kps. I prefer the 300 kps stream, since the stream is more stable and smoother. I think hulu also has good servers.

Watching hulu thru sharetv, is crap since they don't offer me a lowq mode.

I don't think they get it. If I want 70 buck a month internet, I probably can afford a the $1000 a year for tv. Then there is the gig caps providers are silently putting on users with even big bandwidth.

I think a lowq mode benifits all. Yes and a good central server.
