I'm on a AVOV4 but I'm getting a lot of freezing lately. Some days it's OK then for a day or so it freezes up all over the place. Are you T1 users experiencing the same thing? I'll toss this and buy a T1 if you tell me that you have no issues. It looks like the T1 has a better remote and is a tad easier to use than the AVOV 4 with a better EPG. Is that true or non sense?

Also, the Dreamlinks IPTV app has the ability to set the buffer cache to your liking, up to 10 seconds, which can potentially help smooth things out. No guarantees it'll solve all of your buffering issues though if you have a subpar internet connection or iptv provider.
Freezing can have many other factors, if your box is wired or wifi, at the same time ur ISP might be having peak hours issue. Thats why some time it works good and some time not. You can not simple say its the box or the server, there are several variables attached to the freezing issue. For the best results make sure to have your box hardwired and minimum 30-40 Mbps speed, does not matter which ever box or serve you use.
Sometimes it is what it is, but I doubt the Avov itself is responsible for the freezing. The adjustable buffer cache on the dreamlink can be very helpful, but it is not a cure all if there are more serious throughput issues going on somewhere in the data stream. I do like my T1 very much though, so can recommend it as a solid box.
Sometimes freezing is unavoidable. Case in point, last night, was trying to watch the new episode of shark tank and it started freezing. Switched to a different channel, also playing shark tank, but it was freezing as well. Tried other channels and no freezing. Switched over to my other provider and shark tank was freezing on both of the channels streaming the show there as well.
Consistent 170mbps down from my isp. DOL set to maximum buffer cache.
In that case it was clear to me that both of my providers were likely getting their feed for that channel from the same overtaxed source. Absolutely nothing I could do would help. In this case it wasn't on my end, my isp's end or my iptv providers end... it was further upstream
That said, if the Avov plays channels well sometimes on your current iptv provider, and your internet connection is reliably fast, it may very well not be your box or isp.
Nothing wrong with having a backup box and/or iptv provider, just to help narrow down the source of these types of issues. As I mentioned earlier though, sometimes even having backups for your backups isn't enough to eliminate every issue. Most of the time it helps to narrow down where the problem is originating though. Process of elimination, and whatnot.

Hey everyone. Been having problems with DOL lately on my Dreamlink, the guide is about an hour behind and the neon bar is way out of place on the left. Is anyone else facing this issue? Been looking for ages for some kind of help so anything would be appreciated! Thanks guys
First off, go to Settings-Android-Display and change UI size to 720p. That will get your vertical now playing line back to where it's supposed to be.
Then go into the time settings and change your time zone to the one next to your actual time zone. This will make the guide correctly display what shows are currently playing, however the overall time on your box will be off by 1 hour.
There is no other fix currently available that I'm aware of.

Got a DL T1 with a different PS. It's way better than the AVOV 4. Anyone who thinks they like the AVOV 4 needs to try the T1. No comparison. The issue, though, was rockets. It has issues. I now have a no freeze viewing with a really great EPG. I'm very happy with this device.
