Stream interrupted often

Every since ATT changed names and probably something else on the technical side of things, my stream is interrupted MULTIPLE times in an hour by screen going black. I stream using a computer that is hard-wired into Gigabit service. It is not my internet or computer. This is a problem that started since the change. PLEASE FIX IT!!! $90 a month to not be able to watch for on hour without 4-5 interruptions is (Edited per community guidelines).

I've sub'd do directv stream 8 days ago and have never had that issue. I'm using the Dtv Stream box.

I have the same issue. Usually once an hour or so, I get a message stating "video still loading" or "not connected" or it just freezes. Resetting always cures it, but that's a pain in the neck. When I run diagnostics or check the system, it's always connected with 80+ mps. I like the service but don't know how long I'll keep it with these interruptions. Every night. multiple times. Just not acceptable.

I've seen it happen once when the video stopped playing kind of Frozen and some text across the screen came up saying network congestion can cause video to not play properly or something to that effect. I was the only one in the house and no one else was using up any bandwidth on a gig pipe

My stream is interrupted by a message “oops video  feed not working try later “ especially during NFL games… thinking of trying a different live stream like Hulu

Getting someone like DTV Stream to correct their technical inabilities is like spitting in the wind....

I think their servers are overwhelmed during NFL games, but they don’t admit it.

I am using Greenlight here in upstate NY at 500 mbps… all my other streaming apps work without a hitch.

Nope. Having no issues here. Streaming with no hiccups. Perhaps maybe your data path is congested.
