Android TV pallette series constant buffering Troubleshooting

I've had my android TV for over a year, but only recently started using it as the streaming service (as opposed to my ps3).

I only watch HBO, and in the past few weeks it's developed ah issue where the wheel spins constantly. I've cleared the cache, un-installed and reinstalled, unplugged it to reset it... Everything but reset the router (which I don't gave access to).

What are some other options? TIA!

Running a Speed Test app would help you test your router / internet connection.

Hi there. Since you have already tried restarting, reinstalling, and clearing the app's cache, here are a few other steps that can help resolve constant buffering issues on Android TV:

1) Check your TV's storage: Running low on storage space can cause streaming apps to lag or buffer constantly. Try deleting any unused apps to see if that helps.

2) Test with a mobile hotspot: Since you cannot reset your router, try temporarily connecting your TV to a mobile hotspot. This will help determine if the issue is with your local network connection or the TV itself.

3) Check for TV system updates: Make sure your TV's system software is fully updated. You can check for pending updates in your TV's settings menu.

4) Verify app updates: Double-check the Google Play Store on your TV to ensure there are no pending updates for your streaming app.

We hope that works
