jazzy_daveI still have problems with You Tube videos even with the Sky hub. It is just too slow a speed to stream and i believe the problem lies with the wi-fi dongle on my laptop.
It is a Netgear 150 Mbps dongle and i have just realized it not suitable for streaming videos. What i think i really need is a dual-band 300 or 600 Mbps dongle for reliable streaming. This is why i have not posted many music videos at home but only when i have been using a library machine. Netgear do a 600 Mbps USB dongle which does not cost much more than the current dongle.
Hence i intend to upgrade it, and sell the old one on Ebay.
