When watching movies on hulu or putlocker why does the movie tile Is it my laptop my connection or flashplayer maybe something else. What can i do to make this not happen or make it better?

Answer 1

Not sure what you mean by tiling, but I'll assume you mean the picture occasionally looks like a mosaic (artefacts and noise). This is usually a result of missing data in the stream which is most likely a result of dropped data packets. I would suspect your connection is poor or congested. If your connection is wireless, try a wired Ethernet connection (it's much faster and more consistent, but less convenient). If that doesn't resolve it then check your video codecs and graphics drivers are up to date, and also re-install Flashplayer. If that doesn't resolve it then you need to test your internet connection; you may have a faulty or noisy line, but it may simply be congestion, which can only be resolved by upgrading your connection. Either way, speak to your service provider who can run a line test. ADSL lines can be improved by replacing all your telephone sockets with dedicated filtered sockets, and placing the router as close to the main line as is possible. Relays can be used to improve wireless connections, but they are inherently much slower than Ethernet.
