Random quick question - Fire TV Stick

Does anybody else's keep freezing if you put ITV on?

It's been doing it since yesterday. Needs unplugging from mains to reboot as nothing works on remote.

I keep forgetting and automatically go to ITV 🙄

Yes and mine seems particularly buffery on BBC. No idea what’s changed.

Hurray, a reply!

Usually it wouldn't be any great loss but I wanted to start watching Protection.

Does yours completely freeze so that you have to actually unplug it?

My BBC has always been quite shoddy, but I hotspot from phone to stream, so it can always be a bit hit and miss.

I've never figured out why my local news changed to Meridian - covering the South, Brighton etc. I live in the Midlands!

I also used to get some random news from another part of the country on BBC.

I don’t have to unplug it anymore - just grit my teeth and hang on to the last syllable uttered whilst watching that spinning dial for up to 30 seconds. Then other days all is well. It helps me watch less garbage once it goes beyond a certain point!

Certainly cuts down on the day time TV!

Ah okay, like I said with hotspotting (and multitasking on MN) I'll often get the buffering circle of doom.

Now though, I click on the ITV and it just freezes.

Oh well, I'll have to put something else on!
