Frequently Asked Questions (Continued)
Allow the test to complete. Note the value of the Download speed. If this value is less than 1000 Kbps, you more than likely do not have enough
bandwidth to continue watching uninterrupted content. There are several possibilities that may cause this problem:
1. You have other devices using a lot of Internet bandwidth- check if your children are attempting to download music or movies while you
are watching. These activities compete for your network bandwidth. Normal Internet surfing and chatting should be ok.
2. Your broadband connection is too slow- your broadband provider may be giving you low bandwidth. We recommend 1000 Kbps or more.
You will have to call customer service for your network service provider to check the connection speed.
Q. “Retrieving” is appearing constantly when I try to watch a program. Sometimes the program abruptly ends when “Retrieving” appears.
A. Please go to your Internet-connected PC and open your preferred Web browser application. In the area designated for entering a URL (Web page
address) enter the following:
http://speed.neulion.com/neulion_tools.html
Select Neulion Speedtest and then the button labeled “Begin Test”.
