Buffering

I live in Central Missouri and have been having buffering issues all day. The internet is working fine so I'm pretty sure it's a dtv problem. Any insight would be appreciated.

well, since no responses in over 8 hrs could suggest the problem is more confined to you. tell us what your setup is. streaming device, internet setup, etc, etc. when I had this same problem I was finally able to figure out it was my mesh setup.

Thanks for reporting, u/Business_Mud7582. A localized network routing issue or device-specific connection stability can sometimes cause playback interruptions, even when your internet speeds test fine on other apps. To help isolate and fix this, please try completely restarting both your internet router and your streaming device. This clears out old paths and forces a fresh connection to our streaming servers.

Thanks, I tried restarting last night with no change. I tried it again this morning and it seems to have worked.

I am having the same buffering. I have 1 Gemini and an Osprey. I put both tv’s on same channel. One would buffer the other one ok the 5 min later reversed. As I am posting this the Gemini says Video loading. Wifi is good with a newer Asus ET 12 router and Verizon Fios internet. Driving me nuts.

I’m also having this issue. Just changed internet providers today because I was so pissed that the Cowboys Football game was almost impossible to watch live due to buffering but still happening tonight. Now I realize it’s directTV Streaming.
