Bunch of channels down... Maintenance again?

A bunch of USA channels and sports channels are down...

[chad1976]

like always.

If channels are down, report them in the Channel Issue forum. It may be the case that they are working on them, but the server is up.

many are up and working great today

Yes, they work great during the day and early morning, but I notice that the buffering starts up at around 5 EST, up to about 10. Yes, I have rebooted my modem, router and IPTV Unit, but it is still happening. The system is also very sluggish when loading.

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:

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.

Maybe. Maybe not.. I have Google fiber 1000Mbps download speeds so I don't think that's the issue here in my particular case.

C/P again:
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.

[cjiour]

Yes yes thw channels working perfectly

Wouldn't a tracert just show hops to the stalker portal rather than the streams themselves? I was under the impression not all the streams were hosted together but that is just a hunch.
