The audio does not play smoothly for me, what can I do?

Users with less than a 56K connection do not have enough bandwidth to receive both audio and video. The software gives preference to video, therefore, you should mute your computer’s volume or try the solution below.

How can I improve overall quality?

The number one thing is to get a faster modem. Other than that, pressing the pause button increases the buffer size. The longer you pause the video, the better it will look & sound once it begins playing.

Why doesn't the video look as good as TV?

Huge amounts of bandwidth are required to transmit TV quality video over the Internet. As prevailing modem speeds increase, Internet video will increasing look better. We all just have to be patient.
