Channel Loading and freezing issues
Sorry Asesinopr but Expatter is correct. Many channels will not load and some that do come in are experiencing freezin

Firat of all, I'm not saying nothing new buddy. If you're experiencing freezing or black screen and I'm not, what do you want me to say? Ok, I took one out of the system. Now for the other ones: With all due respect, please, pleeeaaaseee!!! Take your time and read. Instead of watching what your neighbor post on facebook, look at the stickys on this forum. Here're a lot of useful information for free. It's solid gold. And still, you're wasting your time lamenting why you're paying 6 bucks a month for a service with more than 800 channels. Simply I don't get it. Buffering? Freezing? There a ton of reasons this could happen. The easy way? It's a server issue. And while writing this lines, I'm watching nbatv without a blink. Nice day!

I really have never complained or put down the servers,but saying it's on my end when i know it isnt(just for the fact every other streaming device in my house worked great)Is like saying im a dumb f**k.Not the case ive been in this game since the B>U>D years.
Its back to normal!

Please explained about those streaming devices and what type of service were (just to understand your allegation)...

Ok, listen. We need to understand something first. This is a hobby. When you have a hobby, it's because you enjoy it. You have fun. A lot. I know you will say that you paid for this, and yeah; like me, here are a lot of ppl who have no other option for live tv. But at the end, it's a hobby. Think for once this is a playstation game. You paid (for example) 65$ for Call of Duty "Trump declares to Putin" edition. And results that, the game just have 6 missions and you're unsatisfied. But when you were playing it, you enjoyed it because it's your hobby. Then, you bought another with a chippy story, then another without the online play option, and so on... But you still playing them because its a freaking Hobby! You will not go to the Gamestop manager to argue about the game. It's the same here. You have more than 800 playstation games. And with a real playstation cash value you could buy more than 4 android boxes. That's how cheap this awesome hobby is. So, my friends, I just wanted to make that clear so no one get it out of perspective while discussing any issue. Nite nite!

Hi all just because you can watch something on another service it has nothing to do with this service. Servers are located in different parts of the world. The one that works for you could be located in a part of the world that might be closer to you or has less hops to make from you to it. Just remember just because you have 100mbs from your provider that doesn't necessarily mean you won't have buffering. This is still a deal what is paid a year! Always have a backup source just in case there is an issue, thinking your going to pay what is paid for this service a year with no issue and without a backup source is your own fault. This is meant no disrespect to anyone I just wanted to put it out there for you to think about!

Check this out;

Here is a c/p from another site that explains the buffering situation.. As some of us are not experiencing the issue all the time:

C/P: What you have described is very typical of ISP capacity problems. This has been a major problem in my area where the ISP's lack either the total available bandwidth to cover its commitment or they lack the infrastructure to distribute bandwidth at full capacity. I've had people paying for 30mbps that at peak times would get less then 1mbps.

If you can prove your ISP is incapable of providing an acceptable service through logging speed tests over time you should report it to your local authority that is responsible for the regulation of ISP's. Then you should report to your ISP that you have reported them to the authority

C/P: That is xx mbps from your ISP to you but what happens between your ISP and the server? That is probably where the freezing comes from. Do a tracert and you will see where the freezing is from

BT Sports2 down

[Cruiser]

205 Fox news down again.

[crazed 9.6]

thnx Cruiser
I see the same results this morning.
I have reported to admins of the inconstancy with this channel

[PACh]

Hi, all channels are freezing, USA or UK or latinamerican, i cant watch anything

[crazed 9.6]

I been going thru every channel on the service, checking for issues. I been doing that since early this morning, about 6 hours now.
There have been a few channels freezing up but only a few. Some we lost but later came back.
Cant say I have checked the Latino America channels too closely today yet, but the others I have.
I can count the channels with freezing issue with one hand , less then 5 fingers

Not a server issue here.

windows 7, kodi 16.1

you can't channel surf to find the buffering channels, some take 30 seconds before settling into a steady buffering routine.

a short test results 9:40 am pacific time.
buffering: 94,200.209,8102

non-buffering 240, 8101

update: 9:45am 8101 just started buffering.
