The following network interfaces may yield less consistent video delivery quality due to contending usage of localised resources within a given household:
- USB (Universal Serial Bus), as other active/busy devices (for example, USB printer or memory card reader) connected to the computer or an USB hub will typically consume additional computing resources that will in turn affect StarHubTV.com Channel’s video traffic that is delivered through the same interface.
- Wi-Fi as other Wi-Fi users connected within the same household may consume additional bandwidth and resources from the home network infrastructure.
