7. Troubleshoot issues

If you are experiencing issues with your channels, there are a few troubleshooting options we suggest. The first thing our support team will suggest is to run a speed test and check your Internet speeds as this is usually the number one cause of buffering issues.

We highly suggest you connect your viewing device to the Internet via Ethernet rather than WiFi as this will provide a stronger connection and reduce interruptions. To do this, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your TV, then connect the other end to your modem or router.
