I made the test with this buffering thing, and yes, the codecs have a lot of influence with, but just with live tv. For any other use, its better to turn it on... kodi 15.2
Android box 2gb ram quadcore
Isp with more than 20 excuses to explain why they can't give me my 20 mb.........
Over the past two years, dozens of IXPs have surfaced in several Caribbean countries including Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, British Virgin Islands, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia and the Dominican Republic................But not yet in Belize

I am not the biggest sports fan, but some of my friends are hence the champions league nights also watched HBO events, and I do watch some boxing events though, and other stuff mostly on the request of my friends who are computer illiterates.. could you try pm'ing me before hand when some big events are happening on these channels and we can compare directly? I am naturally curios, its in my blood heh. and I am not disregarding what you are experiencing at all.
the internet is very unpredictable, and some of what you see happens for me too the other way (to US, Canada, and Australia which has paticular bad infrastructure though).
an example of how unpredictable the internet is if I trace route to iks66.tv, rocket , or nfps.
I am (very lucky) and goes trough minimal of 5 hops (I wont post the hosts I go trough but you can always try pm)
my localnet, my public ip on my isp's net, the ix of my country, amsterdam ix, iks66.tv server. 1,2,3,4,5 very short - cant be shorter.
with a average ping time of 17ms!
if I trace route aftvnews.com I go through 7! hops of isp's in my country, before I reach US then 4! hops through US isp's, I then hit the aftvnews server.
with a average ping time of 115ms
in this case it completely disregards my direct connection to the IX, and takes another route, now this route could/should be faster depending on the other isp's so there is some reason behind it. but if the other isp's are cheap and allow for to many users or cap them at primetime it will be slow(er). and the same thing applies on the other side of the ocean. other US sites take other routes and directly to the ix, it differs.
I know this example does not mean much in praxis, but there are far worse scenarios for me too.
but it proves how inconsistent things can be, I happen to have faster connections to the rest of Europe and worse going overseas.
and nfps,rocket,iks66 even though located in belize, they do not use the caribbean IX (I dont think many do yet if you search the internet), instead they seem to have bought their hosting and connection at a company connected to the amsterdam IX that offers offshore hosting. I am of cause not completely sure of the details, but it looks that way.
but as said next time you there is a live event you expect to buffer feel free to pm me the channel no. and the event before its going on. as said I am curios at nature, things bite to me and I am a stubborn troubleshooter.
Buffering is a fact for live popular events whether the admins want to believe or not, many users have reported, both of the channels showing last saturdays fight were unwatchable as the fight progressed (confirmed by myself and few other on this website).
If more people are into testing, let us all test this in the upcoming live events, some on my list are more champions league matches shown on:
------------
Dec 8 and Dec 9
150 Fox Sports 1 and 151 Fox Sports 2
2:45 PM EST
------------
Dec 12
UFC 194
417 BT Sports 2 (Possibly) & 455 PPV (hopefully)
10 PM EST
-----------
Lets watch these and determine the buffering, as the event progresses the buffering increases and gets to a point where the channel is not watchable.
Now I did see the Cotto vs Canelo fight with no interruption and with good picture on channel 409 (Box Nation)
i'm not a admin. it has not been a fact for me.
I am interested in this because I myself never experienced it, so I really want to see if I can get it to happen to me, and I am then prepared to call it factual too.. I am 100% honest, sincere, and non biased, keeping word means a lot to me. I really hope that you believe that. i'm prepared to shot my tv screen with my camera if it is needed.
I wrote these events down apun, looking up the dates I have no appointments.
thanks.

“there is nothing wrong with being insane, as long as you know it yourself.”
The Cotto vs Canelo fight ran flawlessly on BoxNation for me, but the PPV was indeed unwatchable (60mbps internet). I've had some minor buffering issues with other boxing fights, like a few seconds here and there, nothing too serious but can get annoying depending on the moment of the fight... The only live sport I watch is boxing so I can't speak on other live events, but the only other time I get constant lag is on Comedy Central, when a new South Park is airing on Wednesday nights. Not a big deal, but so far this new season I had to watch most of the episodes on Genesis after they aired on TV. No complaints from me though, I know this is a constant work in progress and I just wanted to share my experience in regard to buffering.
As I have basic TV with my internet and have Kodi as well I can say that I rarely have any issues unless the system is being worked on. I use an old gaming laptop and Kodi and for what we pay a year how can you possibly not be happy with the line up and cost? As multiple mods and members have stated this should not be your only source of TV... If you are only planning on using this as your source for TV then of course you are not going to be happy! A major cable TV provider is testing iptv in a major city and guess what.... Customers are having issues with buffering/skipping... So if a major cable provider is having issues and they have a lot more money/resources than this provider how can anyone possibly think there will not be growing pains? If you are a reseller thinking this is a get rich quick product than you should have done some reading/ research before getting into this!! You will be getting complaints just like the big cable providers do... I live in a small town with a great internet provider so maybe that has something to do with it as I rarely have any issues! This service works great for what I paid period!

Cotto vs Alvarez fight on my end using m8 kodi stalker client. 409(boxnation) ran flawlessly. 455 - unwatchable. 455 was using hbo on the first few rounds then they start using boxnation stream on 455.
The Tyson Fury vs Klitshcko fight was completely unwatchable for me on HBO East. Buffered every 3-5 seconds. Ended up having to watch with sports devil. Quite sad considering i made 2 donations
Sure wish I knew before I bit into the hype.
