NETFLIX speed check 30mbs

[JONNY2015]

I've been getting a bit of buffering when I watch a 4k film. My TV netflix app says it receives 141mbps (home broadband is 150mbps)

Yet my sky Q box, which is brand new today as a replacement says 30mbps.

Any ideas. Are the boxes limited? I don't have any cables to try hard working it in.

Thanks

You're much better off using your TV's Netflix app as it will be optimised to give you the best experience on your TV. 

Sky Q is decade-old technology and the apps are limited in the formats that can be output. Your TV may have Dolby Vision or HDR10+, neither of which Sky Q can output.

As above, use the TV's built in Apps where possible as the picture and audio are better in a modern TV. For reference my Q box gets around 50Mbps+ which sits below the TV which gets 240Mbps (both via WiFi)

If not possible then try repositioning the Sky router or Q box to give it line of sight.
