There are a number of unavoidable issues that can affect the streaming quality of movies and TV shows.


But there are a few things you can do that might help:


  • Restart your Xbox One - leave it off for a few moments, then try again.
  • Reboot your router – leave the router off for a few moments, so it fully restarts.
  • If possible, connect your Xbox One to your router using an Ethernet cable, rather than connecting wirelessly. Wired is always better for stability and connection speed.
  • Check that there are no other devices on your network consuming the available bandwidth, such as file downloads or other members of your household gaming online.
  • If the problem persists you can run a speed test at speedtest.blinkbox.com (username: speedtest password: letmein).
  • Raise a ticket at feedback.blinkbox.com and include the speed test results, what you were trying to watch, when you were trying to watch it and a description of the issues you’re experiencing.
