Buffer for xxx is more than xx% full - error

#1

The last few days I’ve been coming across these errors.

I usually have live TV on all day and “it just works”, but lately I’ve been plagued with “lost connection” and streaming stops.

My DVR is wired full duplex gigabit, and my AppleTV is on 5G Wi-Fi.

This means the network connection between your DVR and your TV is not keeping up with the video stream.

Thanks for the reply - that’s what I thought but everything had been working fine until recently…

I will review my router settings and strength levels.

I have 3 separate Wi-Fi networks, “general”, “work” and “streaming”. The AppleTVs and my Wi-Fi security cameras are the only things on the “streaming” network.
