Anyone got this working?

We have been using Unotelly for months and all has been good, however they have updated the app and it now buffers every 30 or so seconds.

I'm using VDSL and Unotelly. BBC iplayer & 4OD both work fine.

We're only on VDSL which could be the problem. :-(

Havent noticed any updates on the TV for it, but just tried playing the jonothan woss show and other than having to endure more ad's than 3 now, it worked ok, but it was playing a totally unaccepable quality stream. Below even the worst option that iplayer gives so it was either backing down because of issues or the stream is just so crap that it wasnt high enough bitrate to bother it.

This is on a poorly performing snap VDSL connection. about 17 down is what I get now.

Mine has a new UI - more like the new BBC iplayer - it changed about 2 or so weeks back and since then hasnt worked.

I've never had much luck with ITV player - I'm on VDSL with Unotelly and a Samsung Smart TV.  It buffers for a long time, has lots of ads, and plays with very low picture quality.  BBC iplayer and Amazon instant video are both OK, and BBC works fine in HD.  Easier to torrent what very little ITV content I like to watch
