    Watching Liverpool v Arsenal match on sky through my xbox. Picture keeps going blurry, fading in and out, it's very annoying. Only noticed it since I switched to Sky broadband connection last week, though I'm getting faster speeds. Was never this bad with eircom, and they had slower speeds. When I press X about video quality, it's on auto, doesn't allow me to switch to low, medium and high as it used to. Seems to be lots of complaints on Sky forums about "adaptive bit rate" which they use but as far as I can see Sky haven't fixed it. Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?

    This is a broadband issue, maybe try that forum.

    Is it possible to order Sky Box Office through an Xbox?
