HD channels are buffering constantly. Can we an option for non HD?

[infectedtrut]

I noticed that CNN, ESPN and some other channels are high quality now but they constantly buffer like crazy.

Here is like that since they became HD a week ago.

Me too. Since switching to HD, I'm unable to watch CNN. As mentioned, too much buffering. I wish there were a workaround .

They are running flawlessly without any buffering, quite a few of us have tested them and had zero issues. Maybe try using a VPN? Are you running wireless or hard wired? What's your ISP speed?

I have 10 Mbps and not issues at all at those channels.

 

['chasing...]

neighbor's runnin 20m dsl & enjoyin the hd channels with very little issue...

 

[jrbill1991]

Unfortunately here it's the same. Unwatchable

100mb here ad HD Channels looks really fine

Hd working great. I Love the quality.

 

[high247]

Fine here on 50mbps Wi-Fi.

I've also been having constant buffering on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and other American channels. Also the Audio Sync is off badly on those channels, I'm on PVR client, FireStick, Jarvis, 20mbps wireless.

I think this started happening when these channels went HD.

Anyone know why these channels work for some and not others?

How can I fix this? Channels are unwatchable.

Any help? Thanks

so anything under 20 and we r dead in the water

 

[jrbill1991]

I have 20mbps here too and wired. The channels that now are 720p are buffering a lot here, it's unwatchable.

I don't believe that it's something wrong with my ISP or configurations, because the Pac 12 Channels (Sports 1 to 6) always were 720p and they're working just fine here.

Only this new HD channels are buffering.

Try changing you DNS server in your router to googles DNS service 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

 

[jrbill1991]

I tried everything. Changed DNS to google's, using very servers on paid VPN service, changing settings on kodi, advanced setting addon, a many other thing. It stays the same.

 

[MMB10]

The only channels that I have buffering and Audio Sync issues are some American channels, all the other ones work pretty good.

It seems the problems started since those channels went HD.

How can we get info on how to fix this? It doesn't seem like it's on our end.

If any one figures this out or get's info about this, please post, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm on Firestick - Kodi Jarvis latest update, anyone else...maybe that's causing it? It works for some and not others,
so there has to be a solution.

CNN and fox new were unwatchable, checked my download speed 3 times, under 10 mbs, supposed to be 30, now it's back up to 30 and thing seem to be fine, am using kodi 16

I'm experiencing these problems as well. I have a 5O MB and was working perfect all the time. I did a trial with another provider who has HD streams as well today and all their stations are running flawlessly. This has nothing to do with VPN or DNS at this point in time because some of the stations just stick on the screen and you would have to change station . About 5 minutes ago I have NFPS running on a MXQ and another IPTV trial service on another MXQ on the same internet and most of NFPS stations are buffering and the other one isn't which confirms that something is abnormal with their service that some people are experiencing . It's difficult to say as everyone are on different portals so can't say whether it's a issue with a specific portal or if it's in general but yesterday and up until now I have severely poor viewable experience which I wasn't having before.

Lol, it was ok till they fixed it
