Any of you have an issue with Hulu Live buffering with a fire stick? Just got rid of uverse and went with Hulu since we do Disney/ESPN. It continually buffers, usually after switching to another channel. I have gigabit internet with over 300mbs wireless. I have another tv with roku and it doesn’t seem to buffer. Any fixes?

I get this issue with any streaming app on the firestick. After watching TV for any period of time, I find the firestick needs to be reset.

I don't have Hulu live but I do have fire sticks. I always found that the regular little set top Amazon box performed better.

I don’t have issues with any other apps, even regular Hulu. Just the live Hulu

Sounds like you fixed the problem already. But I have the same issue with Hulu live on my firestick. I also have a Roku stick on anther TV and I have never had an issue with buffering. Same WIFI signal and strength, just different devices. I have been thinking about switching to only Roku too.
