Hi there,
I am having constant buffering issues watching live TV. Although I've done some research, I haven't found any solution to my problem. Below is an overview of my setup:
- Nvidia Shield TVs, I have both the 2017 and 2019 models
- A Sony TV with Android TV Built in
- Orbi Mesh WiFi (WiFi 6 Model)
- HD Homerun Prime
- Synology Nas running the server package
HD HomeRun Prime Diagnostics
- Cable Card Status
- OOB Frequency: 104.200 MHz
- OOB Lock: 2.048 Mbps
- Signal Strength: 94% (-3.6 dBmV)
- Signal Quality: 100% (38.1 dB)
- Tuner Status (Example)
- Signal Strength: 100% (5.6 dBmV)
- Signal Quality: 100% (37.9 dB)
- Symbol Quality: 100%
- Streaming Rate: 3.969 Mbps
On average, when watching live TV and viewing stats I have about a .5 second cached and my stream rate fluctuates between 3 and 5 megs. I get much higher cache and stream rate values when watching a recording from the server and don't have any buffering issues. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is here. I feel my stream rate should be higher based on what I've read, but this is all new to me.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
