Next Gen Channel Freeze

Post by danieljlevine »

My Fox 145.1 Baltimore ATSC 3.0 hangs up frequently on commercial breaks just watching live. I can hit the back button to get to the guide and watch the channel again, until the audio and video freeze again. I’m using Google Streamer. I haven’t checked to see if Apple screen so freeze yet. I have diagnostics turned on all the time.

It usually happens during football on Sundays. Not sue if it happens on other ATSC 3.0 channel or ATSC 1.0 channels.

Comparing vs. another device would be a good place to start, even if it's just putting the same game on your phone or tablet while watching on TV. The GTV Streamer is unfortunately one of the worst streaming devices in currently on the market and suffers from a lot of playback reliability issues.

Was already in process of doing this now. I simultaneously watched using the HD home run app on the same Fox 145.1 channel. The Google streamer froze on that channel but the iPhone kept right on streaming it. Just a few minutes ago.

you might want to get the roku ultra it has a better gpu and works very well with the hdhomerun app the Google streamers gpu is very buggy.

If it matters, I just got it to happen at about 9:26 PM tonight Eastern time. I made sure diagnostics were on before it happened.
