IPTV Question:
Ok, I have reasonable tech knowledge but this is my first foray into this. Every channel I view freezes after 45-50 seconds. Yes, I used a stopwatch. Foreign, domestic, movie, tv, live, recorded, it doesn’t matter.
Internet is 500Mb fiber up and down and it tests at over 600. I stream constantly and have never had an issue. It’s borderline inconceivable (yes, I know what the word means) that Internet is the issue.
I’m using a first gen 4K AppleTV hardwired into a bridge. The connection tests fine and it’s never had any issues streaming.
I’m using IPTV Smarters on the AppleTV because that’s what was included in the provider’s instructions, but I’m not married to it.
I’m using a low rent Samsung 4K TV, which seems unlikely to be the issue.
I’m using novawavetv.com as the provider and whatever random-ass link they included in the setup instructions.
I tend to think the issue is the provider, but it’s hard to imagine it’s a global issue unless they’re just a complete scam (which I don’t rule out), so I’m not sure.
Is there anything I can try short of contacting their tech support? Am I missing something that should be obvious?
Theoretically, I can throw an IPTV app on my TV and eliminate the AppleTV and its app as the issue and that’s probably what I’ll do in the meantime, but part of me wonders if the TV will be responsive enough. I’d think even an old AppleTV has more processing power but I’ve been wrong before.
Anyway, thanks for any insight or tips.
