Say goodbye to buffering
Sparkle TV will have a channel, series or movie that may occassionally buffer, but most the time, buffering, especially when it involves multiple channels, or multiple sources, aka tvdan, tvdan2, tvdan3...is because of internet speed issues.
Understand your internet speed
The first step to solving buffering is knowing your actual internet speed. Lets start by downloading the Meteor speed test app. Test your speed at your wifi router and test at your streaming device (TV). TV Dan recommends a MINIMUM wifi speed at router of 500 MBS and 250 MBS at streaming device (TV)
Download your internet providers app.
Did you know your internet provider may have security features that interfere with Sparkle TV performance. Start by downloading your internet providers app, and learn how security features may be disabled.
Solutions for faster streaming
1. Improve WiFi router placement.
WiFi router performance can be hurt when located on floor, behind cupboards, clutter, or excessively far from streaming device (TV). In extreme cases wifi extenders may be necessary to "extend" range of router.
2. Increase the incoming internet speed
One of the most painful calls, is calling your internet provider and getting a better plan. However, internet competition is driving prices down, so you may be able to save money and get better speed. The general rule: Faster the internet the better the experience.
3. Reboot wifi router and internet modem.
When was the last time you powered down your wifi router/modem? TV Dan suggests powering down these devices once a month overnight. This simple task will clean cache and may help increase your internet speed
