I have been trying to watch Six Triple Eeight on Netflix tonight, very good movie.
I made it through about 1 hour of it, I got at best 10 minutes of movie then red buffering ring came up.
It got so bad I would only get 1 minute, and the ring would come up again. I guess that is because there
are too many users. I am about to cancel, they raised their price, and service has went to hell. I am going
to try and finish the movie in the morning.

(4,445 posts)I thought I could live with the ads, cause at least they don't interrupt the show I'm watching. But I've noticed the buffering more and more often, and it doesn't seem to make any difference what time of day. I'm also getting it on Prime. For me, its bad enough that Prime just goes "Oops! Something went wrong. Try again later." Pretty damned bad when it happens in the middle of a movie or series!

When we've had trouble it's been caused by our home internet connection or the streaming devices themselves. Often clearing all the caches and resetting a streaming device helps.
There are all sorts of settings you can fiddle with to match the picture quality to the actual , (not the advertised...) quality of your internet connection. Many internet connections cannot sustain Blu-Ray HD quality, let alone 4K. You can go to Netflix settings and stream everything in "standard" mode, which is where ours is set.
What kind of internet service do you have? Fiber, cable, dsl, 5G wireless, or something else?
I still haven't found a streaming device I'm enthusiastic about, or a "smart television" I'd connect directly to the internet.

(36,966 posts)to write a couple checks earlier, it was sitting about 2" in front of my router. I moved it back where I usually have it
and the streaming is OK so far. guess that was the problem?

a good while.
