Some of you are pretty tech savvy I'm sure, so please help me identify what the actual issue even is, because I'm not exactly sure what to google™.* Lately, when I stream TV on my PC I sit there, on the couch, enjoying the program when all of a sudden (every ten minutes or so) it skips back ten, twenty seconds and repeats what I've already seen. (This only started happening a week ago, before that it was hours of non-stop streaming fun.) After the short repeat is done the framerate seems to drop to about one and it looks like I'm watching a slideshow, sometimes it freezes. I have to get up, refresh the page and restart the stream, AGONY! It doesn't happen on Youtube for example, which leads me to believe that this might be an issue with the particular service, and not with my connection? (Although the service's FAQ response is: "You and your connection are the root of all problems in the world, past, present and future, fuck you forever.") My connection is a stable 40Mb/s, but I guess it could be a short time-out on my end or whatever? Although one would think that something like that would become apparent elsewhere as well, no? So what is this indicative of? Thanks very much friends.
*Meaning I can only seem to come up with shitty results.
