How fast does my internet connection need to be?
We recommend an internet connection fast enough to allow 3.2Mbps (megabits) playback.
If you’re having buffering issues while streaming but think you have a fast enough connection, you should contact your internet service provider.
You could also try switching to SD (Standard Definition).
What do you actually mean by “High Definition”
To be classed as ""true"" high definition, we encode in at least 1280x720 resolution or 720p. We use h.264 with a bit rate of 3.2Mbps and 192kbps audio. This means that streaming programmes in HD quality will put demands on your network connection
