Vidstick Max

[Flyinghigh]

My Vidstick Max is losing connection, pausing, slow motion and out of sync. I have attached a small video to see the signal dropping. Also, a pic of settings. This stick is connected to the same Wi-Fi as my x5. X5 is fine on same channel.

 

Need a bit of help getting her rolling, please.

what's the speed at the stick?

what are you using for power?

[Flyinghigh]

Analiti is showing 35 Mbps. Lower than normal. I am plugged into the outlet.

UPDATE......... This appears to only be happening on a couple channels. This happened yesterday as well, but on a different channel. Maybe it needs to settle in?

[dishuser]

what's firmware and software versions?

[Flyinghigh]

Seems I cut off the right side. Buzz System Update shows 2.211105

you should consider updating to buzztv 5

[Flyinghigh]

Sure. How do I do that? I just got the stick this week.

This may be related to the latest version of  analti. Alot of people talking about this on another streaming forum.  You might want to try a different speedtest app or use older version of analti. Hope this helps,  good luck

I always update and have no issues with tests

Thanks, Papa. I read that thread as well. Wasn't so hooked on the speed result. Darn thing just keeps stopping, freezing, getting out of sync. All kinds of crazy stuff.

Send it to my email address so I can update my Buzztv vidstick max

They can't do it that way

You have to send them your mac and current firmware

Here is an update on my Vidstick Max. I have reset the stick. Added VPN and apps. Turned on TS.

Problem is pausing and out of sync. This is happening on my 2 Buzztv devices. The vidstick is what I am talking about here.

There are several channels that are not watchable. I am watching a baseball games today. The local network channel will not play without pausing. It is even out of sync when it shows and says something. I change to the MLB channel for the home team channel. Still won't play. Tune to the away feed MLB channel, and it plays fine. So what the heck does this mean? I have even gotten a 24hr trial of another provider. It is doing the same thing with that channel.

There is another issue on both boxes. The spinning wheel will sometimes stay on the screen. It's on there now.

I need some ideas on this one. What needs to happen here?

Usually if some channels play fine and others don't it's a server issue
