Boyd & Lennon,at times super Ally can be very annoying hibb….
the new pc is good aceform...
no complaints at all now i've got it set up properly...
the mistake i made was buying the previous one for £150...
mind you the only issue i had with that one was the Display Port to HDMI not working...
and i'd have had to be a mind reader to know that before buying it tbh...
lesseon learned...
it's still a good backup PC tho.

Ball control from over the top and left footed goals name a better player…
no doubt in my mind Souness will go down as one of the very best central midfielders in my lifetime aceform...
he had the lot imv.

Hard as nails hibb,superb player…Leith man too I thought he was from Broomhouse…..hence the hard man image..

pretty sure Broomhouse or somewhere that end of town at least.

Top man is Souness, he first played for Merchiston in Edinburgh not sure exactly where that is though, he not long ago swam the Channel for a young girl with a rare skin disease, Big hard man nearly broke down in tears when talking about her. As I say, Top man in my eyes.
it's got Display Port and HDMI as outputs Mr.Hunt...
no doubt that will be why the Display Port to HDMI (on the telly) works.

definitely something not right and it seems to be individual tracks...
has RTV speeded up over the last few months and it has led to a very very temperemental feed ?

nice look at the plaque outside the weighing room now.
When I used to manage online services for an IT company we used to feel we had failed miserably if our customers told us that WE had an issue, before we had put out a broadcast and informed them. Regrettably BF customer services appear to sit in their Ivory Towers and there are so many issues with their system at the mo, such as
BF going down frequently...LV going down....slow responses on their exchange ( whereby on Horse Racing it takes a few seconds for a bet to get accepted or rejected) ...its a bit like placing a footy bet when (for obvious reasons) from the time you press the button to placing a bet (or lay) there is a few seconds delay...must be costing them a lot of turnover

Betfair takes the stance that if THEY are having no issues then there are NO issues piston...

i sent them numerous videos...
all i got was 'we'll pass it on' and of course 'clear your cookies'...
you just end up giving up (which they know is what will happen).

so i asked RTV if they could look at this for me...
and some very helpful guys (after lots of Q's and tests) came back and told me it's very likely to be packet loss from the local exchange...
i asked BT Openreach and they say i should speak to my provider (which i have done)...
awaiting a response (and i'm not hopeful they will help) but time will tell.

Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data traveling across a computer network fail to reach their destination1. This can result in incomplete data transmission, causing issues like slow network performance, interrupted streams, and lag during online activities2.
Causes of packet loss include:
Network congestion: Too much data traffic can overwhelm the network.
Faulty hardware: Damaged cables, outdated routers, or corrupt network card drivers.
Wireless interference: Obstacles or other wireless devices can disrupt signals.
Software issues: Bugs or misconfigurations in network software32.
To fix packet loss, you can:
Check and replace any faulty hardware.
Reduce network congestion by limiting the number of devices connected.
Update your network drivers and firmware.
Use wired connections instead of wireless where possible

Point taken - I've worked in tech all my adult life.
I think one of the issues with LV is BF don't really provide it - they provide a link which is a pass-through to the LV provider. And that LV provider will distribute their video via one of the CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) like Akamai. So it's entirely possible for LV to look perfect in BF Towers, but dreadful to you and me as we connect to different nodes on the CDN.

that's exactly what does happen longbridge...
sounds to me like what 'the provider' sends out is fine until it gets to the local exchange and depending on the local exchange (how modern is it ?) depends if you will have issues or not...
some local exchanges will be more hi-tech/modern than others for sure...
from the local exchange itgoes to the green cabinet (and again some will be more modern than others)...
and from the green cabinet it goes to individual homes...
so there are lots of connections and no doubt some of the kit used needs upgrading big time...
i had a look at where the UK is in the table of 'internet speed' and it is nowhere to be seen worldwide...
we've got a hell of a lot of catching up to do...
hopefully the new government will push the providers to pull their fingers out a bit faster...
i'm sure Boris Johnson made some vague promise to speed up/upgrade the UK's internet...
it wasn't going to happen overnight i suppose but it's a bit embarrassing where we are in the world tbh.

Physical broadband days are numbered. I should think it will be >90% wireless within the next decade. I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to invest in the broadband infrastructure, although I remember Corbyn promising a free fibre rollout for everyone, so you never know.
You should investigate the mobile broadband option again Hibs. What mobile phone do you have? And what speed to you get on your mobile when you run a speed test? https://www.speedtest.net/

well if you remember jamee you asked me that before and i couldn't connect to the internet via the mobile signal...
the RTV lads asked that also and i told them the same...
if i knock off the wifi on the phone and try to go online it says 'no connection' or something...
as far as i can tell i have the right things ON to connect to the internet but it doesn't do it...
the wee Mobile Data button thingy is blue so that's it ON...
what else needs to be ON to connect via the phone signal ?

How do you see that? Virgin (et al) are delivering TV, phone as well as internet over their physical connections - do you see those going wireless?
Business is all wired connections (I don't mean from your laptop in the office to the office network, I mean externally).
I cannot see the backbone of this - or any country's - internet connectivity not being cabled any time soon.

It's just my opinion. I already get a consistent >100Mbps on my phone using 5g, which is more than enough for TV and internet. And then 6g will be with us in 5 years offering significantly greater bandwidth and speed.
Why would any data provider want to pay to maintain a physical infrastructure when it can all be done wirelessly?
Hibs, do you use connected apps or the internet on your phone when you are out and about?
can youhelp with how i connect my phone to the internet jamee ?
my phone knowledge is very limited but as far as i can tell it should connect...
i mean i can make phone calls with it so why i can't connect to the internet is beyond me tbh.

when i'm out and about i forget all about the internet as i am on it at home constantly more or less.

jamee - bandwidth and latency are different things, so that will affect the LV experience.
And fair point, I get individuals may choose not to have a wired connection for personal access (though I wouldn't be without).

Most likely you don't have any signal inside your house.
Perhaps next time you are in town, try accessing the internet and see if it works.
If you don't have a decent 4g connection in your home though, then you won't be able to use it as an internet hotspot for your PC anyway.

Probably a different connection.
my neighbours might be able to help jamee...
will ask them when i see them...
i mean the RTV LV is something i'd like to be pause/glitch free...
but it's not a gamestopper so i'll just crack on with it...
my main concern was that it was something either i was doing or something wrong in the house...
the reasoning the RTV lads gave me sounds right tho...
and from what i gather VIRGIN full fibre (the neighbours fast fibre) goes through the exchange also so that wouldn't make a difference i don't think ?
anyway cheers for your help jamee...
appreciate it.

That's why it would have been useful to try using mobile data. If it had the same issues then it would have ruled out a local infrastructure problem.
will ask neighbours to see if any can help jamee...
i know them quite well so they'd probably let me use their phone/laptop to connect to their Mobile Data stuff...
if i can figure out how to do it of course.

RTV lads were on about tethering to a mobile hotspot ?

put phone on hotspot and search fro it on laptop.
Turn on your hotspot
Swipe down from the top of the screen.
Tap Hotspot . If you don't find Hotspot , at the bottom left, tap Edit and drag Hotspot. into your Quick Settings.
