Streaming channels from my box via Open Webif is very hit and miss, more miss than hit really, can hardly get a stream going at all.

Most of the times channels dont start and i get no video or sound when opened in VLC.

More often than not the channel that the box is currently on does stream then when i try another channel it doesn't work, i thought this may be an issue with one of the tuners but i can successfully watch and record a different channel so that tells me both tuners are ok.

Putting the box in standby and trying to stream doesn't help.

Oddly FTA channels seem to work more so than Sky channels, when im testing i can get FTA channels to work multiple times one after another but then if i try a Sky channel i get nothing.

I'm trying to stream on my internal network and external and get the same results.

Is this normal or does it work perfect for others?

Are there any other ways i can stream and try a different method?
