What device are you using? Are you using Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

Actually, Wi-Fi speeds can definitely have an effect on DIRECTV STREAM’s performance. Always needing to pull live feeds from a server and experiencing delays or difficulties whilst doing so is absolutely a reasonable cause for this issue. Please provide your device you are using AS WELL AS the exact model number and upload and download speeds. If your streaming device has a web browser (likely) head over to speedtest.net and click ‘GO’ to start the test. Report back the speeds.

On the other hand, an older streaming device can also be a reason for the slow performance. You can either purchase a newer one online (through places like Amazon) or consider purchasing the DIRECTV STREAM OSPREY BOX which has WAY better performance, a nice guide and remote, built-in apps, etc.
