Thanks Leo and Latrade for the replies, yes you both described it better than I did, it seems to be playing faster than the streaming.
I have 1mb broadband but i know nothing about the router, its a silver eircom router. Perhaps i need to go up to a higher MB package.
Having said that the last time the provider rang me and asked if I was interested in 8MB, I declined on the basis I had enough MB for our then requirements and in an effort to prove me wrong she checked the line and grudgingly had to agree that I do indeed have excellent broadband coverage.
In any event I wonder what to do next... I will check the tablet tommorrow as per your suggestion Latrade with a youtube clip.
My main concern was that I hadnt bought a dud tablet particularly after doing a bit of research and getting lots of good feedback about this brand.
eek....can't do right for doing wrong!!
