Too Much buffering at peak times - Very poor Service

[floder2]

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

Its was the same on Rocket IKS channel 300

Sure wish I knew before I bit into the hype.

Do you research things and read up on things before you buy anything?? If you did you would have known that yes there are some issues... Just like when you buy anything in life doing a bit of reading might have just help you out. Again as stated:
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!

Same here, I have issues every now and then but 85% of the time it runs smoothly. When I first started using this service I was using fire sticks on 15 mbps internet but the amount of ram on the sticks I felt wasn't enough to support the stalker client because of all the random force closing I was getting. So I switched to the Fire tv 4k box which had 2 GB of ram and I got far less issues on the box than I was on the sticks but I was still having some buffering on the 4k box not as much as I was on the sticks though. I upgraded my internet speeds to 75 mbps and the buffering was reduced dramatically. So I replaced all 3 of the fire sticks with 4k boxes been smooth ever since. This service is well worth the $105 IMO especially with the new addition of Sunday Ticket and NBA League Pass.

To each his own I suppose.

Same issue now for the last week since purchasing this product last week... AMC and few other movie USA channels buffers like crazy. I have done the temp fix with disabled the codecs and leave one turned on.

I have not tested all the channels but its still having issues. Do you guys recommend a better fix? Is this being investigated? M8S Android IPTV Stalker Video add-on 50 MB Bell.

part of your problem is M8S, I have the same M8S box (kodi) and LIVA X (windows 10/kodi) sitting next to each other.
M8S buffers like hell on every 720 channel, LIVA X works great with no buffering at all. I can switch between them to test.

I have tried both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wifi bands, LIVA X has only 2.4 GHz band

having said that, M8S streams Vivo and youtube fine. fact is the VIVO channels streams have the same codec as stalker but are better quality 3mb+ streams and there is no buffering with them.
I watch PBS news hour on it very night and have seen no buffering in it either. All of this is inside kodi. Makes me belief the stalker client and kodi on M8S to be
the issue. have tried different stalker clients.
Don't have other android boxes to comment on them

I also have a M8S and I do not experience nearly as much buffering or freezing as I did with the AVOV products. In fact I show very little buffering in the movie services. One more thing I did to stop my buffering was to get rid of a netgear router and go with a tplink. That alone reduced my buffering close to 100%. One more thing, I have not had to reset the tp. On the Netgear I had to do that a couple of time a week to reduce buffering. So do not blame your buffering on your box.

Well Mine is the newest M8S TV Box Amlogic S812 Quad Core CPU Amlogic S812 Quad Core 2GHz (Cortex-A9) and mine usually is great on other channels. I setup the EPG for Stalker Client and noticed crazy buffering.
I removed tat and installed the Stalker Add-on and noticed slight difference, but AMC channel seems to be the worse causing me to re-watch Walking Dead somewhere else . I'm not using my box wireless, but wired directly to ethernet. Wireless is turned off.

Should I tried something else other then disable codec? Other stalker client???? I had stalker-exo that was given to me and I had no issues using any of these channels.

I begin to be upset about the situation.
Sky was still working. Last night it began to buffers too on some sky channels.... it's really the end....
Ok for having an other way to watch TV like some says here... but i have not. Only some add ons (with AMC and others premium channels working perfectly in 576p) but i don't like to use them.

If i pay for something, it's for using it, i think it's normal to have something back for my money. Not always saying "problems can occurs sometime". It can happens of course, but not 2 weeks long ! (and it's not finished yet...)

The worst thing is to not have any announcement about the thing, the work in progress...

I would like to know if they think about adding days on our donations for all the days we already lost...
