@94 Not having any issues here 

Have you tried rebooting your main Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions

Yes I have tried this (twice) but the problem is still there.

The problem is clearly iplayer and I wish people would stop saying the same old reboot this or clear cache etc. You go on Google and its the same issue evrrywhere for so many, everything else is fine Internet speed is good but iplayer just keeps stuttering.

It's still the same in June 2025! IPlayer plays well on other devices but not via Sky Q, why is that?

I am going bananas trying to watch I player 

it takes ten times longer to watch a half. Hour programme . I pay a fortune for Sky and my internet is Bt also a fortune and I do all the recommended things to try and fix it 

very frustrating !!
