Preferred online content quality question?
Could someone tell me if I'm imagining things about this setting? I'm using a 2GHz P4 XP Pro with 2GB RAM with a 10MB DSL connection.
I've observed:
When this is set to "Medium", Tune-In and CBS resources normally take from 2 to 10 attempts to get started. Program content will either fail to start or play for less than a second and stop. Once started, they stream nicely forever.
When set to "High", these feeds that require those plugins pretty much don't start at all.
When set to "Low" however, all seem to work almost 100% of the time, but of course the Video quality is poor.
If this observation is correct, might there be a way to demand less bandwidth/CPU-Resources during the first 1 or 2 seconds of the stream?

Update: Disregard the above. It was only a coincidence. Today, "Low" quality is just as difficult to get started as "Medium". I just wish I knew why!
