Netflix glitches on the fabulous MythBusters
Does anyone else get strange behaviour on any shows? I've had it from day one on the old app and the new one - in fact the new one makes things worse.
The most reliable offending show for me is the truly excellent MythBusters. If anyone is bored, try any episode and see what happens to you. I'd guess it goes screwy for me 9 times out of 10.
Thing start fine. Then anywhere between 5-20s, the red circle appears and hangs forever. The only thing to do is to up and back out of the episode back to the menu. You'll then notice that it believes you've watched 5/6ths of the show.
On the old app, I could select "play from the beginning" and then all would be well - it only ever happened on a first play. But now the horror is that my only option is to resume, landing me right at the crucial final 8 minutes or so and I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ALL PANS OUT. So I have to turn the volume down first, squint and then fast rewind. Takes a few minutes. Then the show plays ok.
Like I say, 9 times out of 10. Once or twice I've had it on other shows. I don't know what it's got against MythBusters, but can anyone else confirm / deny this madness?

Also My List isn't always there, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Oh and Netflix is slow to load, on my phone it's up in seconds, but after putting in the PIN on the Tivo box, it's a good 30-45 seconds before the home screen appears, slowly.
To be honest it's typical Virgin Media.
This happens the first time I watch almost any video on Netflix. After that it works fine until I come out and back in again.
Edit - I see that it's a known issue:
