recommend a minimum
internet download speed of 1.5mbps for video-on-demand content and 4mbps for live event
content.
How fast is my internet?
You can test your internet speed by
using a service such

download speed is slower,
your viewing experience may be degraded. Please note that viewing a live video stream
over a wireless connection can
be unreliable.
Disable ad-blockers or other browser extensions that may be interfering with the page.
"Hard refresh" the page. This is done by pressing the "Ctrl-F5" keys on Windows or

Video playback is very slow
There could be a number of causes resulting in slow or interrupted video playback. In general, if
you’re
connecting over Wi-Fi and experiencing constant rebuffering or other issues during playback, try
moving
your router to another location and away from other devices that may cause electrical
interference.
We recommend the following:
Move your wireless router to a more central location of your home.
Move your wireless router to an elevated surface such as a desk or on top of a bookshelf.
Clear clutter from the vicinity of your wireless router.
