One important tip on watching sporting events with the TV service is that you need to "update" the Live TV group THAT DAY for the proper games to show up in their respective sports channel.

If your "update" was from a previous day, then you can find the sporting event on its state/city/network channel but it will not show up in the MLB, NFL, NBA marked channel for your team.

BUFF: If you are watching live sports, update your live TV section every day.

I do that

Like I said - finding the feed among all the feeds in the NFL folder was the problem

Haven't had that, but I had a heck of a time w/ it last night. Kept getting the error that it couldn't find the movie/show. Finally got it working ok after restarting my Firestick the 2nd time and w/ updating the movie and series library for the umpteenth time.

I checked it this morning, and it was working fine but haven't logged on it since.

I unplugged the stick and then got it working. When I updated live tv it kept spinning and then after forever it said invalid account but now is working

Question for you guys who have had the TV Service for awhile: how often do you upgrade/replace your Firestick and/or router?

I haven't really had any issues w/ Live TV (at least during Colts games), but I do seem to have to do a lot of restarting the Firestick, Cache clearing, and sometimes restarting my router to get the movies and series to work sometimes. Both my Firestick and router are from ~June of '20, so thinking it might be time.

Amazon is running a deal where you can get the latest and greatest Firestick for $40 (and I could maybe get it for a little less if trade in my old one). My router is through my internet and TV provider, so I could probably get it changed out for free. But I don't have any buffering issues on any other streaming apps which I run through my smart TV so I think it's probably more the Firestick than the router.

Internet companies usually do not install very good routers. Always best to purchase your own. I have the for sale on the website and we monitor them and keep them updated on firmware. Or you can order one from Best Buy.

You really need to lock off all folders/channels you are not using so your firestick is not trying to refresh and download shows you wont ever watch. Like the foreign stuff. Need to do that in Live TV Movies and Series
on the app.
Settings
Parental controls
you can set a code or use 00000
go through and lock everything you dont watch

You can check your firestick to see how much capacity you have left That will tell you if you need a new firestick.

You also need to go in and delete all apps you dont use. They are always working in the background and use data

And modems ...... instead of renting a modem for $15 per month, you can buy your own for less than $100, and you break even after 6 months. After that's, it's all proverbial profit.

I don't pay a dime for TV service because both of my TV sets are smart TV's, and I get thousands of free movies, TV shows, and live TV news programs ...... if and when I purchase Puck's service, it will be the first time in a long time that I will be paying anything for my televisions.

Thanks Puck (and C&O) for the recommendations.

I've kept over 1 GB available on my Firestick, so I don't think it was a capacity issue. But I went ahead and deleted the Apps I don't use, so I'm at ~2.7 GB free now.

I'll go ahead and at least lock the folders that I don't use. Hopefully that and deleting my unused apps will fix any issues I've had. If not then I'll look into getting my own router. Although it's included in the promo bundle I'm on, so would like to just keep using it (or a replacement from Altifiber) if I can.

Thanks Again!
