Help much needed please. Whenever I cast iPlayer to tv from tablet via chromecast, the picture freezes every few seconds. Impossible to watch. Visited by tv and plusnet engineers, and chromecast device replaced. All declared ok. I believe them butno one knows what can be wrong. This is only with iPlayer. Has anyone else had this problem? Most grateful for a response.
Once the tablet has commanded whatever to play, the data communication
path is between the TV, router, internal phone wiring, phone line and
the internet. The tablet is out of the picture (sorry)
Given that everything upstream of the router has been checked, I'd look
a bit closer at the TV connection to the router. Can it be wired? Is
there a local source of radio interference? Microwave in use?
Is the line capable of sustaining a suitable data rate for the iPlayer requested resolution of the TV picture? Might be borderline for iPlayer
HD, just based on location. What eventual resolution does something else
like YouTube automatically choose?
Is something else on the local network pulling a lot of data? Is there a spotty nosed teenager on his PlayStation 5 currently raging war with
aliens, or something else compromised taking part on an active botnet?

More detail needed...
What kind of TV?
Does it have chromecast built-in, or are you using a device?
What sort of tablet?
Does iPlayer play OK on the tablet if you don't use the TV?
What else have you tried, apart from iPlayer, to send things to the TV?

when you are casting in this way, how is it accomplished, IE is it
direct, through the wifi and router, or all the way back to some server then back again?
