picture stuttering and freezing

[green_sat]

Can some one offer advice - I tried 2 card sharing services on 24 hour test and for both I was disappointed the channels are really unwatchable. I would definitely not watch.
I have good internet connection, I even tried a cable connection and it did not improve the picture.. this is on uk sly channels.

There is some info here regarding freezing

But I don't think it will help much with payservers.

I wouldn't attempt to watch anything other than sport when card sharing. The stuttering/freezing makes films and general TV unwatchable, but with sport it's not so bad if you miss the odd few seconds here and there.

The best thing really to do is to get together with a few friends and share the cost. That way you know the card being shared will not be overloaded. This is easier said than done though.

Yes, but what was the ECM times for replies from those servers? SkyUK needs rather quick replies from server to avoid stuttering.
SkyIT is even more demanding from this point of view: ECM times over 550ms are too slow and cause stuttering..

How do I find the ECM times from the servers? Sorry if this is obvious.

Thanks Tony, but that's quite disappointing if this is the case with pay servers?
Particularly when these servers give guarantees of no freezing and trial on their service?

The people running payservers are probably not doing it with the aim of providing a good customer service (I may be wrong), they are looking to make as much money as quickly as they can before they are shut down.

I could be wrong though. Payservers are the equivalent of the fella down the car boot sale selling dodgy cable boxes.

Even if you can only find one mate to share a card with, that's the cost halved. And that way you know for sure you will get a decent picture.

Disappointing that there are servers with payment This is a hobby that some have turned into a business. advantage of the work of others

It is annoying as these services are advertised with no freezing, pixalating or stuttering.
