HD Channels unwatchable

[jrbill1991]

I thought that after the maintenance, the buffering problems with the channels that are now in 720p HD (ESPN US, CNN and USA Network) would be fixed. But no. It's buffering every second, is completely unwatchable!

And it's not my internet or my PC (kodi) because the Pac 12 channels that are 720p too from the same IKS66 is working fine, and other streams from other addons works fine too.

Anyone knows what is going on? I wish those channels went back to SD quality, I really miss ESPN.

Has anyone facing this issue or not?

Yes since the maintenance they keep buffering bad it's only those channels.

It might be you guys, I got two boxes running those channels as we speak and no buffering at all. My in-laws same thing, those three HD channels are running smoothly.

It's a little bit odd, don't you think? Because as I said, the other channels in 720p (Pac 12) are running just fine, why only these new ones are having buffering issues?

Is it still buffering for you? Did you try to mess around with yout hardware settings?, on my AFTV I have to Turn ON hardware acceleration for those three HD channels to run smooth for the rest of the channels which are SD I have to turn OFF hardware acceleration but that's only on AFTV on my raspberry pi it all runs smooth without messing around with hardware settings.

Although they are not buffering every second it is not good on those 3 channels for me
Just making aware of it

I tried that. hardware acceleration ON or OFF the buffering remains for these new 3 channels, and the SD and Pac 12 (720p) works great with hardware acceleration ON or OFF too.

Now it's not buffering every second, but it still buffering like every 8 seconds.

I got the same problem

Same problem here, with ESPN US buffering, while Sport 4 PAC 12 Bay Area has no buffering and same HD resolution.
