@irishwizard there are a few factors to why you keep getting buffering, 1.what box do you have. 2.how you have your xbmc is tweaked for example go into the Mainenace Tool and set your Advanced XML To Zero Cache

dual core boxes ive found also dont help look for the quad core , i personally have this box ULTRA M8 U-M8 (M8) MX Box Android TV BOX S802, 4.4 KITKAT
It also depends on the stream/Server database you are connected too as well even a Quad core wont help with buffering if the connected source is crap, I use an Intel NUC i5 Haswell for XBMC and can still find the odd buffering quirk from certain sources nothing is guaranteed
Some streams are glitchy, sky sports on Live TV plug-in for example. But BBC1 channel should be perfect as I believe they are just a front end for iPlayer.
I am gonna try setting zero cache guys, should I always pause the stream for a minute or two ?
Thanks for your help by the way,
I'm running xbmc on an arctic htpc ,

As I stated previously and its a known documented fact with the Fusion/Xfintiy devs that even with Zero cache enabled it still depends on the stream you pick
