IPTV66 Help here!
Freezing always occurs during peak hours, server cannot keep up with demand, certain channels are worse than others. I must say, in the last month there has been a drastic improvement, hopefully they keep investing and improving this service.
Freezing is the only thing I had since got the donation.....too bad that I paid the whole year already for freezing channels.
lost my confidence the service will be improve....
Looking for a better service. Do you know any other that actually works?

funny but for years now with these freezing reports, somehow the freezing experience is not seen here.
Sure there is freezing but very rarely compared to whats reported.
How does that happen ??

really really really wish i new the answer to that one,i can assure you everytime i have reported freezing it has been freezing all i can do is give you correct info totaly up to you to accept the truth,or not,trying to watch 192 bump me off channel right now on mag 254 and it is freezing tenant has dreamlink and tells me it freezes alot. Reminds of the time i went to a diner with really bad service and food ,i tried to mention it in the nicest way as i didnt want to offend the waitress ,she says (that really bugs me everybody says that)my thought was if everybody says it maybe listen a bit to what there saying but i kept my thoughts to myself i dont think i could help her.
understood and apologizes for my ignorance. True apologies.
I have had not had this freezing experience, but only thru others reports.
I do not never mean to diminish a problem. My objectives always are in solution
But I know I offend and partly why sometimes is my own ignorance.
Is why the appology
It's freezing terribly for many of us. There are many posts over the last few days. This is always the way it works. After weeks of complaints they'll finally do something, but not until things are in crisis mode. Nothing else buffers, just this impossible to watch service.
Just a thought here.... Maybe I'm crazy..... But if I am, insanity has it's advantages. Nobody has a direct line to the servers. Everyone has a router, Modem, and who knows how many "Hops" through different networks or servers just to get to the service. To pinpoint blame on the service alone is outright insane since nobody really knows. I have had freezing at times. When it gets too bad, I have rebooted the Mag and have had success in correcting the problem. If that did not do it, then I have reset my router. That would solve it sometimes. Sometimes I have had to reboot my modem to solve the problem. Other times I have just got so frustrated that I shut it down and fire up Kodi and go to the Dark Side to watch something only to find out that it too is freezing. That tells me it is the network somewhere between me and the server. Friends that have "Other" IPTV services also are acting up during those times. My point is there are too many variables involved to blame any one thing. So blaming the service alone might make one feel better, but isn't actually the problem. Just something to think about. If anyone knows for sure and can show me how they rule out anything else causing the problem, Then I wish they would share the next WINNING Powerball numbers before they are drawn. No offence meant to anyone, Just stating what I have been through in order to form my opinion about all these complaints. I hope that those having the problems can get them figured out. Have a great day!
Whenever you post, its best to include specifics like make, model of the device you're using and if there is a sub category for that make and model, post the issue you're having. Whenever you see a change, it usually indicates somebody is working on the software, the hardware or the service to try and make things better. I have noticed that there is a new epg or channel listing which may or may not have something to do with the freezing. I have only noticed some freezing on 9209 which was quite annoying. I decided to try Kodi and an addon to get to world wide tv which has the same channel in HD and there was no freezing. This "suggests" the freezing does have something to do with the server or the service and perhaps your box. I have noticed the more ram, the more rom, the more cores and the more or better gpu a box has, the less freezing. I have had some devices with 1gb of ram, 2 gb of ram and they tend to be a whole lot worse than the boxes I'm using now which have 3gb or ram but then they also have more of the other things I mentioned. I use a 25mb internet service with no user or bandwidth limits and found this to be quite acceptable for the service even when there are several devices using the service. I do use a docsis 3.0 modem and an AC router which also helps keep everything online without bottle necking or adding to the freezing issues. Best to do whatever you can to limit these issues from starting at your end but posting details on your box does help others to respond with their experiences with the same box.
I was hoping this silliness would end. That used to be the strategy: "Tell them it's at their end. It'll buy some time." Since there are no real certainties in life, you have taken the easiest path. But
I'm using the system on a native app with one box, with Kodi on another box and with Kodi on a computer. Every single one of them is buffering like crazy. They all started buffering a few days ago at the same time. The same time, in fact, that others started reporting the exact same issue. Every other streaming resource is operating perfectly. There are no issues with HD movies from Netflix or Amazon. Youtube is streaming without event. There are no issues with other IPTV services/apps. It is just THIS service. There is always the chance that a rogue node on the internet has gone bad and no one realizes it and many of us routed through that same node...but I doubt it.

Personally I doubt nothing when it comes to the internet.... All I have is a whopping 6 meg down. But if person one says he is freezing.... then person two shows he isn't... Pretty much rules out the service and puts the blame on someplace between you and them. (Or memory or any other possibilities as mentioned in a post above). Not saying they don't have trouble. Just saying if they were actually down like described all the time around here, this site would crash from all the people getting on to find out whats up. (And that has happened before if I remember correctly). Last fall I had major problems. I got so ticked off I called my ISP. They informed me that they were laying new lines in my area, (Fiber optic) and surrounding states. Speed wasn't affected. However packet quality was. Work was completed first of this year. (About a month behind...) Anyway service here has been great since. So like I said. Too many variables. Finally when they have had trouble, they usually get something posted in the announcements section in time.
see i have friend that tells me all time he gets freezing but it his internet that dose that not box too test that i gave him my box and guess what he got freezing really it what internet you have that gave him problems that what i found out please it not the box or server it what your on sometimes and guess what he changed providers and no more freezing there are days yes but not 5 times a week or more then its you for most part sorry to say that but it true
look try change dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 do that in the router if you can read up on it in google and we had post about it here reboot router to and see if that help and try a ip address not auto one
Service. Google Public DNS operates recursive name servers for public use at the two following IP addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for IPv4 service, as well as 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844, for IPv6 access. The addresses are mapped to the nearest operational server by anycast routing.

Same thing here, NFPS started freezing/buffering badly last Friday and was unusable over the weekend. It was still bad but noticeably better Monday morning but reverted to unusable by midday & it's been the same since - better in the morning, bad by midday.
My analysis:
The variable nature of it suggests that it might be traffic based. However, I have another service on the same machine - NFPS on Stalker, the other through a video addon - and it remains solid while NFPS is freezing. This does not prove that the problem is with NFPS since the programming is most likely taking different route to get here but it does prove that there is nothing wrong with my equipment or internet connection.
The most common excuse for freezing heard here is that the problem is not with the source but with the route taken to get to us. Note that while nearly every NFPS channel is freezing the so-called "free" channels (Arirang, C-Span, France 24, & The Weather Channel, for example) work perfectly without buffering. I'm pretty sure that those signals travel the same route. Once again, this suggests a problem with the source.
When there is a problem of this type the first thing I try is another portal. I was on p5 and it changed me to p4 which showed no improvement so I changed portals again and it gave me p5.. again. I just tried four times while writing this and it is still toggling me between p4 and p5 as mentioned earlier in this thread. Several people on this forum have recently mentioned portals 1 and 2 so I assume that I am restricted to 4 and 5 for some reason. Perhaps the reason we haven't had more people reporting the freezing is that it's not happening on portals 1-3.
So in summary, I have no problem with my equipment, evidence suggests it's a source problem, I cannot try another portal and I cannot try another route since for some unfathomable reason NFPS won't let us use a VPN. I'm stuck with no service and no recourse.
It would be nice if an NFPS rep would weigh in here but they don't seem to check this forum. We are treated like mushrooms.

Today 03/08/2018 portal s1 and s2 are freezing for more than 8 days we reset the server, change portal nothing work still freezing all the time every three minutes, please tell us if are something someone can do to solve this problem, it is very sad what happening with this services. I have Mag 254 speed 57mg.
There is nothing you can do. It has happened to many people over the last week. Until something is done at the server end, we'll be going through this. It is exactly the way things played out the last time. At one point, when enough people were complaining, they did work on the servers and got things back in line. Hopefully, it won't take very long before maintenance is undertaken again.
The service is much improved today - about 25% of the channels freeze/buffer but the rest are perfect. The fact that some freeze and some do not proves that it's not the route taken to us, it's the servers. BTW, I changed nothing (well, I did get a new donation number in the hopes that it might allow me to get a different portal. It did not, I'm still stuck on p4 or p5 and everything still froze).
Kudos to the techs, this is progress. it looks like they are working on things after all.
