Nelflix Blocky

Hello Everyone 

When we are watching Netflix through our Sky Q 2TB box it always goes blocky for a second or so quite regularly. 

No other streaming service on the box does this .... only Netflix. 

If I watch Netflix through my Xbox it doesn't do the blocky thing so what's going on with Netflix through the Sky Q box ?? 

Internet is fine and steady at 65mb/s which is also Sky Broadband. Its only us watching streaming service as theres no others here. No issues with the broadband. Netflix through Sky Q is the only service that's blocky. I don't understand lol.

The Netflix app on Q is basic and prone to glitching. Sky Q is quite an old system now with pretty slow on-board processing. It's functional but not the best. 

You're much better off using the Netflix app on your Xbox, Smart TV or a dedicated streaming device.
