a. It may be caused by the lower bandwidth of your network. A high network speed is required to handle online videos.
b. Peak internet usage times may affect the bandwidth.
c. Check if any other computers on the same network are also operating, as they may be using up bandwidth. Especially if they are downloading or playing online videos.
d. The video may not be smooth itself, it is not the problem of your TV or network.
It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.
Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other electrical appliance.
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path, the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
