Have Direct TV app (beta, for the DVR), use a Fire Stick. once an hour or so the app goes to buffering - we restart the App, reset the modem, restart the fire stick - nothing seems to make it work. We have cleared the cache. Still buffering and other hijinks. What else can I do?
Buy Ethernet adaptor and then connect to your router directly NO MORE STUTTERING…its your wi fi signal not the fire stick which is problem…
reset your data then go back to the app you will have to redo your password and settings and its a pain in the ass
This is all BS. Please cancel my service including prime until you can provide the service I purchased.
Suggestions. a) Get a faster model. If you have a first generation Fire stick (without the mic remote), this is a very slow stick to being with. b) Wait for direct tv to release an updated app (complain to amazon to encourage this) c) If you’re Wi-Fi is built into your Internet modem, get a separate Wi-Fi router. It is a well proven fact that all-in-one Router/Modems have poor and unreliable Wi-Fi performance. You should be connecting to the faster 5ghz frequency on the Wi-Fi router.
On thing to do if you have not done it is get rid of the 1 watt power supply and use a 2 watt one. That will cure buffering altogether period! Enjoy and stop by www.rondoids.com for some news stories. Ron
