Your video is still loading, thank you for your patience.

So I rarely ever had this issue before, but I just moved and now I’m constantly getting buffering and the “Your video is still loading, thank you for your patience” message.

A few pieces of pertinent information to better clarify my situation.

1. I’m using a streaming box, so this isn’t an issue with the app.  

2. The box is connected to my modem using an Ethernet cable, so this isn’t a Wi-fi issue.

3. I don’t seem to be having an issue with signal drop on any other device while I’m using the internet.

4. Routine speed tests show I’m running between 1000-1100 mbps consistently.

Is this a hardware issue?  As I said at the offset, I rarely had this issue prior to my move.

Thanks for any tips/help in advance.

Gloria,

I’ve gone through all of those steps already.  I apologize for not including that in my original post.

Have you tried rebooting your router and Internet equipment and your DirecTV Stream box?

I'm having this problem too. I have DirecTV streaming. I'm using a Roku. It seems to happen every time I fast forward or rewind a couple times then this notice pops up.
