I would like to watch the Olympics live from my computer using their streaming service...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/201 ... o/p00w2w84

I've tried from different locations, different computers and different browsers but I get the same problem across them all.

The video plays for about 5 seconds and then goes wrong (think pausing an old VHS video). The sound continues fine but the video just stops.

Is anyone else having this problem?

It's working fine for me though it did freeze/buffer for a moment. What speed is your connection running at?

At home I've got 10meg. At the moment about 5 because of other downloads.

It's OK for me at the moment. It is Flash based, so 'quirkiness' is kind of on the cards. Tried updating your flash player?

Also getting bufferring issues so I can only assume it is the BBC's streaming service that cannot take the strain as my broadband is more than capable.

There's likely to be some load issues today. If you think about it over the weekend a lot of people will be watching it on telly, whereas today they've got millions of people who are all stuck in the office, want to continue to watch the coverage and now the only form of access they've got is the web....

Tried to watch the fencing online. The player kept freezing. The load now is going to be immense as the diving is on and all eyes will be on Tom Daley.

I've been watching the volleyball all day at work with no real issues.
An occasional small jump but no buffering or stuttering

I've changed to just watching it on BBC iPlayer.

Forgot about watching it there. I only get the normal TV stream though so I can't choose the sport.
