Wow...... Pretty condescending.... To the guy who is asking.... Sometimes the INTERNET in general can cause problems. Every time I have issues I try to buffer. If that don't do it then I go and run a speed test on the thing. 9 times out of ten I have slow speed. Depending on the buffer size, that can cause what you are seeing. That is what I do. If the problem persists, I watch something else and give time for the problem to be solved. Finally bear in mind my friend that there are some people here that think they have the best box and slam those that don't use it. I have a mag, It works just as good as anything else. Better than a Buzz as far as I am concerned. So to close this, Anyone that gives condescending remarks aren't worth the time of day. Some people do not have any manners and my apologies to the original poster for those people.
Hi there. I appreciate the input. Like I said, I usually check my end before reaching into conclusions about the service, and don't get me wrong. I am not complaining about the service, I love it and little things like this wont make me get rid of it any time soon, like I mentioned earlier, I am mostly bringing awareness of the issue and asking perhaps if is still on my end. I have numerous ways or can work on numerous ways to determine whether is the service or just my internet. For instance, when the service was down a while ago, I testes for wether it was my connection, whether my ISP was blocking the service (ie. using a FAST vpn), different internet connection, the only reason it had me believing it was still something on my end was because no one for close to 12-14h of service outage was reporting the issue here or anywhere. Yet the very first time someone posted about his, he got the usual "user error" assumptions as response. And like I said, is mostly for awareness. Who never knows, If no one has brought it up here the other day, maybe it would have stayed down for longer than a day. Its what I attempted to prevent here (like, just in case).
** Helpful methods to diagnose problems ...
- DSL speed test (just to confirm your Local connection loop is not saturated, and you are being Throttled Down, by your ISP).
- Check "Open Channels", compared to channels from the Providers servers. (203-CBSNews/ 227-Aljazeera/ 215-Weather Ntwk.)
*If you receive these without any glitching etc., you can remove your equipment and your ISP(Unless they are blocking or throttling .ts streams).
- HD channels compared to SD channels, can indicate your equipment may be doing something in the background (using resources), you are unaware of (Updates etc.)
- Weather & environmental impacts. All of the streams from the servers, are derived from mostly Satellite sources (directly or indirectly but originating from). If problems are with US feeds, see if there are extreme weather events occurring in that geographical area, for example.
Flooding can also disrupt Internet Routing by causing network traffic to be re-routed, causing traffic bottlenecks.
(This usually will not cause a problem for most internet traffic (Netflix, UTube, Facebook etc.), but will be evident with applications like LiveTV (.ts) streaming, online Gaming etc.
Finally, the 1st thing to check is these Forums, for other users having the same problems.
As for you not knowing much about it, it sure seems like you know more than most!!
So now you know to post more info about your setup, your service, the channels, the time of day, and possibly your geographical location.
As for your problem..., sounds like the data is getting corrupted intermittently, causing the data block decoding to stop, causing replay of the buffer content while the next block of data is being decoded and loaded into the buffer. So I suspect satellite rain fade.
Well, while it sounds as the most rational and sane thing to do but considering the last two issues, I wouldn't put too much faith in that. Of course, after diagnosing my end, I can always come here and report the issue and hope I don't get a few, or should I say, someone riled up.
Which again, perhaps support the argument of being on the server/iptv66 side.
thnx Digitaldan and Shooty and guys for stepping up and bringing some sanity into Panzor's thread
