Stream box poor connection- keeps buffering
We recently took one of these devices and have it effectively 'on trial' and 'test' with a view to replacing our Sky mini boxes in the fullness of time.
Currently it's sited in the kitchen about 3 metres from the router and in between it and a pod. Only two walls between. However it repeatedly drops out and is buffering. It does reconnect itself given time
The idea is to try it all over the house where the mini boxes are.
This poor performance does not bode well for the future of these devices. We have not tried it yet elsewhere in the house where two other pods exist but this does not encourage us to do so as this is the optimum intended position for it. The other locations - conservatory and bedrooms etc are not a primary matter of concern - yet.
A VM engineer has been to an unrelated issue and suggested we try one to start with, he confirmed the signal was strong enough to use one where it is. He suggested this course of action.
Is it likely to be a defective stream box or are they not as good as is made out?

After further intermittent signal issues its seems this issue is resolved, for now.
