Re: Excessive buffering watching FOX News Channel

My daughter has YouTube TV, her FOX news is buffering and is pretty much unwatchable. I have SlingBlue. FOX news seems to be working fine on my Roku TV. Sounds like a YouTube TV problem.

I doubt that, it has been going on at my house for 7-10 days so bad finally had to turn tv off and go to bed. Previous to that it occurred between 5-6:30 and would usually take 30-45 minutes to resolve???????? Spoke to YOUTubeLiveTv and "they said" they are aware of problem and are working with Fox News but can't guarantee a resolution or time frame.!

Re: Excessive buffering watching FOX News Channel

After a week of Fox Channel buffering using Youtube TV, I contacted Youtube and they indicated they are working on it.   All other channels were fine.    For a network services provider to screw up this badly for a week, they are either completely incompetent or the service interruption is intentional.   

This morning I signed up for Sling Blue and Fox is streaming without interruptions/buffering - and it's half the price of Youtube TV!  I have now cancelled my Youtube TV subscription.

res ipsa loquitur -  In my case,  which doesn't appear to be unique having read similar posts, the problem is Youtube TV's service.  The solution was to change service providers.
