Depending on the program and hardware platform you use, the corrupt data stream will get processed differently.
Some will replay the buffer while attempting to wait for the lost data blocks(looping), some will just dump the buffer and wait for good data(freezing).
and BTW..., I have 3 different IPTV services, and for the last week or two, all have had excessive problems.
