Buffering problem/slow directv

Channels are slow to load, are blurry, or will log you out.   For anyone using fire sticks, the solution to this problem (as all the recommendations from directv don’t work) is very simply to upgrade to the newest fire stick from Amazon.   It will cost you 40-50 bucks, but we’ll worth circumventing unhelpful wasted time from directv.   Once I installed the new fire stick (with no additional needs than to plug it in) every single issue I was having completely went away and my TV has no issues whatsoever.

How old were your old fire sticks? Just like computers, as software improves, the hardware slows down.

They were probably at least a few yrs old.  The point I’m making though is directv should be able to tell customers that this (replacing your firestick) will fix 99 pcent of the problems with buffering and issues with channels, rather than having us “discover it” on our own.
