Problems watching Lovefilm on PS3.

Options

Last night we started watching a film via Lovefilm on the PS3.  It has previously been ok.

 

I downloaded a Lovefilm update and began watching the film, but every few seconds or so it kept on pausing, making the film unwatchable.

 

We selected "standard quality" and this didn't make any difference.

 

In the end we had to continue watching the film on the laptop plugged into the TV.  I have since tested the Ipad and Lovefilm works fine on there.

 

There's nothing wrong with our internet connection (Sky broadband).

 

Does anyone else have any issues with Lovefilm on the PS3.  I'm really disappointed with it.

Hmm. You may have been having your connection throttled at the time you tried to watch your film. The PS3 needs a higher speed connection than the PC one as far as I'm aware. Try later in the day. (even though some say they don't throttle, there's every possibility it dips slightly below the minimum for decent playback.

An alternative might be simply to pause it straight away and allow it to preload?
