Freezing and looping question

[andkaal]

If they get rid of standard def. which is most channels on rocket., and just run HD channels would that stop all the freezing and looping we had for months ? Or vice - versa ?? Or Just run Standard def. ?? Just maybe a dumb question, but the freezing is not getting any better. Thanks .. andkaal

Hard to do that thou.. I have had private conversations from members in the past when HD channels first started coming online. They ask to keep the SD channels because of their bandwidth restrictions. And if all SD channels were dropped then so would their working subscriptions

Not much of an answer for you thou, sorry

1080p h.264 HD streams require very robust hardware decoding, otherwise the main Processor has to try to decode using Software decoding algorithms and overtaxes the cpu(s).
Even with dedicated decoding chips in your STB, if there is not quality resources available (memory, controllers, firmware drivers and efficient firmware coding), you are going to have problems.

So what is the solution? is there any thing we can do?
I have tried running the Stalker client in Kodi on a High end gaming PC and it still does the same skips and loops.

Ken, forgive me but I do not think that most people have hardwere problems. This problem has been happening for approximately 2 or 3 weeks. before that, it was working well. I understand that it is another way of saying I do not know what is happening or I can not fix it now.

If you are having this problem only for 3 weeks and it is happening on SD as well, you have a different problem.
As far as I can tell, there is no overall problem affecting all Services.

Recommend you do a DSL Speed Test to see what bandwidth you are getting.
Check your Network cables for connection problems.
Shutdown your STB and Reset your Router(Us the Reset button(hold for 30 seconds)dont just unplug). Wait 5min and power up your STB.

everything mentioned verify it, my internet runs at 30mbs, and on the sd channels I loop and it takes me out of the channel.

On a Amazon fire TV 3rd gen. box, and new Fire Stick, as a prime member you can watch all there TV series, they have many too watch, without a problem. Most in 1080 - 720 i.p. and no buffering, freezing or looping. Just wondering why Rocket always have this problem and can't fix some of these issues. Even with Kodi most movies on terrarium are also in 720 i.p. works very nice. Just wondering ? I know that crazed7.2 has reported these problems over and over. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, or find a remedy to help us. ... andkaal
