Hi iLan
I am not a serial poster as I do read through a lot of the posts and most of the answers are there, just seems odd to me why there are so many issues with viewing channels, like I said, I have tried most scenarios, there not much more I can do and my brother is having similar issues and he's using the Amazon Fire TV box, but thanks for your reply

The only thing I can evince from your first post is that Sky Sports 1 is buffering. There's not much you can do if a single channel is buffering, other than post in the Channel Issues forum. If the buffering is more widespread, you have to look at all of the variables, including the ISP plan's parameters, the possibility of the ISP throttling or blocking content and the routing of the stream.

As to your notion that things have gotten worse, I just can't agree with that. Issues are nowhere near as prevalent or as often as before. My own set-ups are better and there are far less issues reported here compared to the past. Now, that being said, if you are experiencing an issue, it doesn't make your situation any better, and I understand and sympathize with that.

I seem to have the same issue, most of the international channels work. over at my mom's place where I set it up all channels work, when I bring it to my place only international channels I reboot etc and still same. is there a trick to this?

Willier,Have you resolved your issue? if so tell me how?

2 weeks now and Good Food still freezes and just says buffering. Is anybody trying to fix this? 2 weeks seems long enough to address the issue don't you think?

Hi Guys
Sorry to be a pessimist, I seem to always have problems with viewing channels, most of them do not work and the guide comes in as and when it wants too. I only have 45 days left to run and I will not be renewing my service with NFPS, I must admit that I am no guru but reasonably computer literate, as are most of the people on here, I do read the forum and I can understand from time to time you may have server issues and like myself most people don't mined the odd drop here and there, but its getting to often now and to be honest its not worth the headache anymore, so I wish you guys all the best for the future.....

P.S Just a quick breakdown on what I have done in the past...

Nvidia Tv shield
Broadband: 74mb
Kodi 16.1
Use built in stalker client for PVR
Stalker EPG updater (********** add-ons) auto setup
Rest MAC and portal (several times)
changed MAC and portals (several times)

and of late when Sky Sports 1 does work, it buffers like hell

Good Luck to you all....

I got to a point where I was fed up also. Too many times were channels going out, no working EPG, lack of information from the host(s). If it gets to the stage where things stabilize and I'm reading that things are working reasonably well, I would certainly jump aboard again. Till that time, I will hang on to my cash. As I see it, there is not much point in having access to 700+ channels if most of the time they aren't working or freezing etc. In the early going I was satisfied to let things go through it's growing pains and thought that after a year it would have things working smoothly most of the time. Alas, I was left with disappointment and decided at renewal time not to sign on again. Keeping my ear to the ground in hopes things get sorted out for the better. Good luck to all.

You need to put the channel, channel number and the issue in the post's title. The backend doesn't open the messages. The title of the post needs to covey all of the information. Check the sticky for instructions.
