When i attempt to watch Divx streaming movies most times the movie will stop and sit there and buffer. I don't have this problem watching tv shows, only movies. I found that if I pause the movie before it stops (right at beginning of movie) for about 15 minutes the movie will play fine. I assume I've built up enough kb's by pausing the movie and letting it buffer, but there's no way to tell how much I've built up. The problem is that sometimes the movie stops halfway through and there seems no way to let the stream "catch up". I let it buffer, but when I click play the movie starts back from the beginning. There seems to be no way to fast forward to where the movie stopped. Very frustrating.
