Anybody been having this issue lately? It just started buffering in and out for me with in the last week or so. Netflix, watch espn, Amazon all work fine so it's not my internet connection.

yes. Thought it was my internet. Does it real bad for like 3 minutes then it's ok. Does it on all 3 devices.

I recently plugged mine directly to the router. It has not buffered once since I did this. Before that I had the same situation as you netflix and prime were fine, but vue had some buffering. If you can hardwire it, and that should do the trick.

Nvidea Shield is plugged into Ethernet and the Fire TV's are wifi.

All of them are buffering.

Yep, just something else that is making my decision to jump to directv now easier

I'm hardwired in and it's been buffering for me too.

I'm ready to switch back to sling, was just waiting for college football to end.

Sling and Directv Now are probably thanking the Gods for whatever has happened to PSVue.

I just wish the Xbox One would get love from PSVue and/or DirecTV Now. The sling app on the xbox one s is sluggish and buggy whereas the sling app on the amazon fire and appletv is fast and responsive.

Yes. This just started and it's fast forwarding at rapid speed on its own with no volume at time, too. Clearing the cache and force stopping the app helps the latter.

Yea, I get the random fast forwarding issue from time to time. That's probably the most frustrating bug.

When mine does the occasional buffer, I just hit the quick rewind button on the fireTV remote (10 seconds) and then fast forward back to live tv. That works just fine for me.

Thought about trying DirecTV Now, but some channels I get for $35 on Vue are in the $60 package for DTV Now.

The $60 package is only $35 at the moment. FWIW.

Saw that, but I have NFL Redzone with Vue. I know there is only a few weeks left of the season, but I still watch it when the Saints are not playing. DirecTV Now also not having DVR until 2017 is another reason I won't be jumping in directly for the discounted price. I record soccer matches while I'm at work.

Sounds like your ISPs have found a new thing to throttle.

Any chance you all have ATT as ISPs ? They do buisness with Direct Tv no ?
