What do you lot make of this. Tried speed tests all night and got 4mb. Time hit 11.15pm and boom back to 80mb??
And when you say Boom back to full speed do you get all the FHD HD or still only get SD? The sentence doesn,t tell me a lot it just tells me you got speed back.
Just throwing this out there for anyone to answer? (Like to know myself if there is any truth in it.)
Maybe your on a crap server/supplier/line and when your wanting to watch something the server is getting overloaded and bang you get crap speeds cause the sever can not handle it.
Then come to late in the evening most people on there way to bed and the server quiets down, meaning the server as less people on it so you may get better speeds.
Its just a thought. I know there is suppose to be something in place on most lines to handle this but who knows?
Anyway like I say:
1 Test line. rule out server.
2 Check all cabling/WiFi/Ethernet/connections. Use different cables in case of faulty cables. (Try whatever you can to check everything at your end)
3 Hard reset on everything. (Leave it off for a few minutes, This usually clears any crap left in cache on systems?)
4 Check software on boxes/androids/computers.(Even re-download software in case its corrupt?) Plus don,t just rely on one piece of software on one device.
Have your line setup on many places like Smart TV app / On a computer / On has many devices as possible then if one begins to fail see if its failing elsewhere on other devices then you can generally point to it being server / line? You don,t need multi-room for this if you only run it in once place at a time.
Best software in my opinion is VLC on a computer (safe, easy to use and will play any line I,ve come across) Kodi when setup properly is my next choice. Will play almost any line I,ve had. My reason for the like of kodi is easy to setup VPN on it and you can setup all sorts of proxy's.
Has for apps there only any good as there makers. And I read so much on forums that this app is better than that app. Still not got to a best app out there in my opinion.
5 With it happening at certain times, thats the time a test line needs to run. (Rules out ISP if you get a test line or your line to work)

Go to first post and read on. :)
This just confirms my reasoning. There is no holy grail to play IPTV. Its whatever it runs best in your household.
Might be an android box might be a computer or mag box or zgemma of some app.
There is no rule of thumb that this setup or that setup is the best. Just have it setup on many devices using as many pieces of software as possible and try whatever you like.
Its a shame if you like this software over another if you iptv doesn,t play on your favorite software but works on something else its tough, its just the way it goes.
