Blind guess it might be but not uneducated I've been into "FTA" for too long and I know servers/computers so I know how it works.
And when there is a big issue, there is no one who give us answers.
is this an issue even on Mag 254?
what was issue?
I forgot with all that pink flyod stuff goings on.
problem isn't server overload.
Check some other threads on the subject.
Check what floder2 has offered and also there is a deal about the Mpeg compression. There is discussion about that too, posted all over the forums. There is a fix for that for some, depending on receiver or app you running.
So yes, your guess is wrong
