[QUOTE="mossanimal, post: 1033794, member: 144303"] i've been trying to get a solution here..... i'm having a terrible time watching online tv (hulu, abc, cbc, etc) through my mac mini to an hdtv. here are the specs: Mac Mini 1.83 GHZ Intel Core Duo 1 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM BUS 667 MHZ 54.78 GB in the hard drive Running MAC OSX 10.5.8 Our DSL tests at 1.5 - 1.8 or so. We can watch Netflix 'watch now' perfectly. we can watch most news broadcasts, etc.... but we can't watch Lost and Survivor without buffering issues. pausing to catch up only helps for a few minutes... even after pausing for up to 20 minutes! i've tried plex, firefox, safari... and nothing helps. i'm assuming that the ABC and CBS programming are coming in at a higher quality and are the reasons for the buffering issues... or perhaps it's a flash issue. anyway.... i have no idea how to improve this. there is not a faster internet option for our area as we live in the country and watching tv through the computer is our only option. i just don't understand how we can watch entire movies from netflix perfectly.... and not Survivor!
