I've just abandoned being in the site before I lost my temper. Came online a short while ago to plug into RTV in the hopes that this evening would be better than last night and in fact it was worse.
Sound on live stream was very hit & miss again, mostly miss sadly. So without proper sound, I watched a couple of items being auctioned but had to refresh about every 30 secs to get updates especially when items changed - the lack of sync between livestream, item information coming on screen and keeping track with auction price made it all very disjointed. Also very distracting if you wanted to join in the livechat. It rather felt like being surrounded by a group of people all talking to me at the same time and not being able to concentrate on any one of them!
Anyway, belatedly the details of a bracelet came on screen after another manual refresh. I was interested in it and there were 2 up for sale. No sound, no measurement on the details on screen (come on guys get it sorted!) and the choice of asking in live chat or asking live help, which interferes further with updates.
I asked in live chat how long the bracelet was and mentioned I had no sound. I could see Carol put it on her wrist, sound popped up and I heard a few words like "its slightly big for my wrist" before sound cut out again. I think she's about a 6.5" wrist, but I was still none the wiser. No answer to my query in chat by the time I saw "auction closed" on the screen.
If the disjointed transmission to my pc continues like this then unfortunately the enjoyment factor of RTV has slumped to zero for me and I will regretfully have to bow out of joining in during the evenings.
However, I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing such troubles. Am I right in assuming the website is overloaded or is it perhaps my broadband that cannot cope with the new website?
