You might explain what settings you are broadcasting at. Is the video being broadcast at 240 x 320? Is the audio setting to high? Are you moving around while watching? This all has a possible effect on what you are seeing/hearing on the ppc end.

I just noticed you are watching through a bluetooth connection. This is most likely the problem. I think your results would be far better with Wifi.

yeah BT can't provide the kind of connection needed for vid... but also u might want to try Orb (www.orb.com)... been working well for me (not on bluetooth)

its a good idea this orb thing, however to gain access to the internet wirelessly, the only way i can do it is via a bluetooth activesync? so is there really much difference?

thank u for the replies btw

Actually there might be a difference... Don't recall exactly how much bandwidth bt is gonna give you but orb actually streams the video and in turn lowers the quality a bit and I think it does it based on your connection... its worth a try i guess since it is free

About 170-180 kbps, according to my benchmarks. Not much.
