Please can you help on why this should occur.

Kodi client is a Android Box with SPMC (16.4.1) running, and is located in Spain

Backend 1 is TVHeadEnd running on Ubuntu 16.04 located in UK.

When this is the "only" backend, the buffering is horrible.

Backend 2 is MythTV-backend running also on Ubuntu 16.04 and located in Spain.

When Backend 1 and 2 both are enabled, the buffering on the UK TV programs goes away. It is perfect for hours on end.
There is no problem with Spanish TV either.

Found this by accident, and complete baffled by it.
Although it solves my problem with UK TV, I'd like to know why.
