Freezing Issue

[maird57]

I have a good one. I'm getting constant freezing on some channels. It's happening on two Buzz X5's and also on the Buzz E5. It freezes about every minute for about 2 seconds. When I connect to a Formuler Z10 Pro there is no freezing at all. I'm hooked up direct to the modem. I even tried with a wifi connection and it's still freezing. The modem is the newest Ignite Gateway from Shaw/Rogers. I contacted others with the same Buzz boxes and they are not freezing on the same channels. One person is with Shaw and the other with Telus. Would there be any settings in the Buzz boxes that could fix this?

Yupper. Went from primary to back up and it was worse.
It seems like the modem doesn't like the Buzz boxes only because the Formular has no freezing issues.

Could it be a IP conflict happening ? maybe log into modem and asign a IP Address or mac address to the buzz boxes
Are the Buzz's setup as static IP or Dynamic IP (modem asigns a IP)

[maird57]

It seems the Buzz is flighting with the internet modem. When the Buzz is connected I notice my TV constantly pops up a windows type message saying your internet connection is disconnected then pops up your internet is connected. Once I connected the Formular no issues whatsoever.

Set up to Dynamic

[auggie]

then possibly the Buzz's need a static ip or mac addy for them to work right, instead of the modem
asigning one all the time "DYNAMIC" I'm not setup on IPTV, just offering some suggestions for network setup
router/modem setup etc. I suggest log into router/modem and have a look around in there for anything saying
iptv settings, Quaility of service, or IP/Mac assignment etc. My TP-Link router has settings for IPTV IP/Mac assignment etc.

Are you using a VPN ? IF SO that may have something to do with it possibly.

folks with a "DYNAMIC" ip are missing out in many ways when it comes to iptv lol

So your suggestion is to change over to static?

[Highwayman]

So your suggestion is to change over to static?

depends on what you want to do if your running scanners static is best
because you can get banned if you dont watch what your doing statics
have a range 100 up and 100 down dynamics only the one.

say as a user on one of your servers that gets banned for running to many connections
as long as you dont remove the user and hes on a static when his range changes the ban will be undone.
sometimes depending on the server these sutomatiic banning can go unseen on a panel like when scanning
and viewing a provider at the same time if you get my meaning.

All these theories are great, but it would not explain why his Formuler works fine and no freezing.

BTW: Do you have TS (Timeshift) enabled ? I used it for a while, but then stopped because I would get microfreezes regularly. I thought it was my service and I eventually realized it was that. There were many updates since then, but I never re-tested that feature again.

I never used timeshift. The E5 I tested was new out of the box.

Same with my buzz U5. No issues with the classic. Jus plan to return the unit.

Are the Boxes wired or wireless ? if wireless that could cause the dropped connection etc.
