    Hi,

    I have just unwrapped my new netbook, its the 1gb ram 120gb hard drive version and got it up and running, I have it wirelessly connected to the net and have tried showing a utube video clip, the picture is very slow and gittery and keeps stopping momentarily. Is this a fault with the machine or have i just not got it set up right? My desktop pc shows the same pic with no problems, WINXP. Sory I forgot to mention it is running linux on the new netbook.


    cheers Stew

    Out of the box, it should have no problems streaming Youtube vids. I would suspect the wireless connection. I assume your desktop is wired? Try connecting the AA1 via ethernet cable and then viewing some vids. If that works, it's your wireless connection that's at fault.
