Sky stream stuttering

Sky stream seems incapable of working properly when downloading on my PC, as soon as I start downloading it hardly works, wondering if anyone has any fixes to potentially try? Basically tried everything and stream box is connected via a power line connector using Ethernet, connection speed is hovering around 35mbps

35Mbps is borderline for Sky Stream to function with any sort of consistency. It requires a fast & stable connection. Any small speed fluctuations will cause you issues. 
Upgrade your broadband (if possible) would be the best plan of action.

Re: Sky stream stuttering

Sky Stream will happily work in HD if it has 8 mbps of stable and available bandwidth.

However, if your PC is using all of the available bandwidth for its download then Stream will be starved of the consistent connection it needs and will buffer.

The fix is not to download large files whilst watching Stream, do not use UHD when the house is hammering the internet and if possible upgrade your incoming broadband speed.
