i have been beta testing this all morning. When tvcatchup had the low streams up for beta testing from the main site the chanels all played great via the web browser. Via the closed beta testing they are testing for most smartphones thru a similar site to the iphone mobile site. when you select a chanel in there you are supposed to get the option to select high and low streams (HQ LQ) but if conected via wifi the option does not come up. There is a work around in which if you select 2g or 3g the option works. You have to open the site in 2g or 3g select the chanel you want to watch. Then a page opens with the option to select HQ or LQ. Then you need to disconect from 2g/3g and change over to wifi. This then opens the stream via the media player.....problem being it is awful...very choppy and skipping audio. The identical stream when it was being tested from the main site over the weekend worked perfectly. Therfore is this not a media player issue? is there a way to try changing the default player to mplayer to see if this will work?
