How can i keep my Media Player from buffering too much? I usually watch news
on svt.se and i can't watch it without it buffering every 15 seconds or so,
it sucks. Thank you!

What speed of broadband connection do you have
(hint : Common speeds are 250k, 500k, 1meg, 4 meg etc)

The default media stream is at 800kbps, if your broadband *can* exceed
that (say, you know for sure you have a 1mbps cable connection) then
you need to change settings : open Media Player

Choose Tools -> Options menu, then Performance tab. In the dropdown,
ignore "detect my connection speed" and set "My Connection speed is"
T1 (1.5Mbps)
