Can you give a link to a website that sells this stick so I can see its specs?

Are you using the Netflix App or streaming through the browser? And how is your stick connected to your router?.

Your PC shouldn`t make a difference mate. From what I read on the Amazon reviews, the distance the stick is from your router could be a problem. One guy said it worked no problem on the tv in his `router room` but struggled when he moved to another room.

Does Netflix stream ok when you go through your PC browser?

Got one of these sticks myself, not a bad bit of kit and plays all my videos while using less than 10watts of power.  The Netflix app has some bad reviews stating that a recent update has caused stuttering playback for other people, so it might be as simple as that.
