You can disagree all you want. I am not a newbie to this have been around for years. You say the channels only go down for a couple of hours or a day have you checked out 133 or 139 lately. Also you say to make sure to have enough bandwidth. there is nothing wrong with my bandwidth or any other part of my setups . why does it work for a while and then buffer like crazy. so don't tell me the problem is on my end (yes when is works it works good but it sure changes from day to day) Crazy 2.0 says that there are only about 80 channels down they just happen to be "English language channels. have you tried watching today the ALL the channels that are up are buffering so bad that they might as well be down.
 
yes, even I am getting some buffering today. I just started checking.
Some excessive buffering and some not so bad, but is seen on channels that I have not seen it on before too.

The 133 and 139 channels been down awhile now, they are and been posted on the Down List a couple weeks now.
 
CNN US HD is a buffering mess. Headline News is a buffering mess. MSNBC HD is a buffering mess. Old reliable channels like TV Land are a buffering mess. Channels up and down the line up are buffering messes. Chiller TV was one of the few channels that wasn't a stuttering mess yesterday, but it is a mess today. It looks like the service will wait until it things becomes a crisis again before it does anything, just like the last time. Each day it gets worse and worse, with no relief in sight.
 
This is the main problem crazed... some days (like yesterday) it worked great, the only channel that I could not get was 111 FOOD which has been down for some time now. Last night watched the boxing on Showtime and 100%, today same channel will not load (along with all SKY Sports and others).

I'm glad you are seeing how it is. I like to watch SKY News, it's buffering today but I found a feed with a Kodi AddOn and its 24/7 all the time. The problem is by the time the tech guys get onto the problem everything will be working ok again, and they will say "no problema here"
 
What a joke.....this is testing? ??? I've never heard such bs.....back in the card days that was testing. ...as soon as fta hit it stopped being testing. .....this kind of service is called idiot proof stealing of tv signals via the Internet. ....so let's just say it like it is....people want premium tv without the high price or the hassle so no its not testing. ..most of the people with this service couldn't unlock a rom card or modify an ird if there life depended on it....and back in those days there was very little complaining at all ..if any a person came to these boards to read and ask for a little guidance. ...so once again I say......this is not testing
 
So as well here lots and lots of buffering this evening the game is unwatchable so is USA CNN and all the locals for me.
I did a reset at the source hooked my TV box up direct so it wasn't even going through the router (it has always been hard wired from the router). Still the same. I live in the country so I don't think anybody has hopped on my wifi.I have 25 download speed and when this works good I think that is enough. but like many have said the buffering comes and goes from day to day.
However I don't believe there is anything wrong with my end .... I have NO problems watching 24/7 channels or surfing youtube etc.... that works good not 100% of the time but dammm close.....
I will TRY ANYTHING anyone thinks will work just don't tell me every time we get buffering to reset my system ,router etc cause it works fine watching other videos and tv
Oh by the way am watching the game via the internet and it hasnt buffered once since I wrote this 14-3 GB.... its not my internet but i will listen to all ideas

thank you
