No matter what I try, I can’t get Betfair Video to playback smoothly. I have tried watching via 3 different browsers (Firefox, Explorer and Chrome) on 2 different computers – one of which is highly specced.

I have a 60 Mb connection so its unlikely to be that  I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that its not possible to get a smooth playback? or is it?

Depends on the sport, sometimes it's jumpy other times it's smooth. They've changed the interface now so you can alter the buffer, try upping that to 1 or 3 seconds.  If that doesn't fix it then it's likely the stream provider

Does bet365 jump?

I've really noticed how bad it is while watching the T20 Big Bash Cricket - Also on the snooker but not as bad.

B365 is much better (although not perfect) which makes me think it must be a problem at Betfairs end with the streaming.

Does anyone else get smooth pictures on the Big Bash?
