Grr! Argh! Same old stupid staccato buffering. I cannot see the reason for it. Why can't Food Network understand this. They should buffer their videos the way U-Tube does. That way, if an audience member missed something, they can push the slider back and watch that particular bit as many times as necessary. Cooking shows are more about instruction than they are entertainment. These AIN'T music videos on MTV.
Are they worried about someone making copies? Give me a break! If I had Tivo, I'd be recording them and I would neither need nor want to watch them online.
NOTE TO FOOD TV Your videos are a complete waste of storage and bandwidth owing to this issue.
