Anyone ever have IPTV issues like buffering,freezing,blocking?
Buffering, freezing. yes.Originally Posted by LX89
Yes there is some of this (but tolerable to me) but it's not always a provider issue. It can be an internet speed issue too.
For the yearly cost savings, I'll deal with the minor blips.
I don't experience freezing or blocking but when I used the cheaper Android boxes and cheap IPTV service providers the buffering was worse. I hardly get buffering now.

Rogers hasn't been supporting cable boxes for several years now. So now, if you have an issue with them they force you in to Ignite. Of course, the pricing is insane (once the introductory ankle grabbing pricing period is over) and the content is mostly absolute garbage. I especially like checking the channels on the weekend only to find that 4 - 5 channels are "Paid Programming" or if they were honest "informercials". There are at times issues with buffering or freezing, but nothing that lasts very long or may require you to reset the router.
A friend of mine works out of province for stretches at a time has the Android box and takes it with him to use at his hotel or rental house. He absolutely loves it and says that there is more content than he could ever watch.
My wife and I have been discussing making this change and I'm glad this topic came up so I can relay this information to her.

I've been using Android boxes for years (Nvidia Shield Pro) and haven't looked back.
We bring a box with us wherever we are and they work great.

Same here...
All the content (tv shows and movies) can be found for free on the box. I have a OTA for my local channels. Haven't had cable in 13 years and I don't miss it!
Currently have Cogeco cable... $125/mth Then, I have Distributel for internet... $65/month(cable modem). If I cancel Cogeco, do I loose my internet? Do I have to go DSL(Bell)?
The cable and internet shouldn't be interdependent. Distributel should cover you if you have decent throughput if you want to solely stream. It would depend on the number of devices and the network bandwidth to determine if your package is up to it.
A good android box also goes a long way to ensure a good experience.

Can you explain the free part of your comment?
