Improving my video quality

A poor internet connection can result in lower video quality.
Your internet speed should be at least 4 Mbit/s, but we recommend a higher speed to avoid buffering and automatic quality reduction. In the app, you’ll see a quality indicator in the top right corner showing the current quality based on your connection.

To improve video quality over Wi-Fi

• Make sure you’re connected to the correct network. 
• Reconnect to your network: click Forget this network and set it up again. 
• Restart your router if needed. 
• Make sure your router is nearby. Try to minimize obstacles between you and the router (e.g., thick walls, ceilings, furniture). 
• Check your internet speed with your provider. 

Still having connection issues? Contact your internet provider.

TIP: Try downloading the title so you can watch without interruptions.

The sound is not synchronised with the picture

The lack of synchronization is often due to connected audio equipment. Disconnect external audio equipment (soundbar, speakers, wireless headphones) and then try again.

Some equipment such as sound bars can adjust your sound synchronization in the settings. Check this in the settings of your connected equipment
