Like I say, I'm no techie. However, if you are right, how come I can stream BBC iPlayer, YouTube and Netflix till the cows come home and I never have a buffering issue?

Just trying to help guys.

2 months ago a lightning strike a mile away sent a surge that blew all my equipment. Modem, Router, and the tower PC. Modem and router were only 2 yrs old. Spectrum gave me replacements.

My PC was toast so I had to buy a new one. Am not a techie like you guys but in reading up for a new one it seemed that the amount of RAM 8GB, 12GB or 16GB was extremely important to watch streaming stuff and/or play hungry online video games

I bought 1 of the new micro pc's for 160. Smaller than a mug of coffee. And boom everything streams 100% fine now.

Try a test. It will tell you if its your PC that causing it.

Prior to new PC I had zero problems with watching youtube just like you
So, Go to amazon, click on Prime Video, then click on Live TV.
Pick a station and see if that is buffering like Swans TV. If it is then its your equipment.

Someone else responded to me saying its RAM and I am wrong. OK am no techie. But my point is its your equipment no the stream. As the other guy said live streams require a lot more bandwidth or whatever.

Like plenty of others on here today, I had really frequent buffering today. I'm not technical enough to know why this happens or whether the clubs response above is a correct explanation or not. However, trying to be logical, it can't be the case that so many of us have a poor connection or an outdated browser or a clogged up cache.

Isn't there anyone here who is sufficiently skilled in this subject who can respond to the clubs explanation? Appreciate most of us are only technically "abroad" and so shouldn't really be accessing the stream in the way we do, but clearly Swans TV knows what goes on and so to take good money off us and deliver a poor service is not on.

I have been supportive of the service to date and said so on here, but today was simply not good enough. As others have pointed out, if the club is looking to expand its supporter base the least they can do is get their TV broadcasting right.

I have reached out to the trust and multiple people within the club. Let's wait and see if we get anything back. There is no reason why today should of happened
It was an issue on their end. They can dress it up as much as they like but when it's happening to a lot of people it's clearly them who caused it.

It's an issue on there end. I have spent last few years in deep discussion with the club. And took this to the top. I was able to resolve issues last year with audio out of sync which eventually led them to email customers to apologise. Trust me it's them nothing more, nothing less.

Its the lack of/insufficient RAM in your PC's for the vast majority of you.

No disrespect. Its not 1990. My PC is top notch mate. It's a club issue. This buffering didn't happen before. And it happened today. Same goes for other issues.

Ok. No probs.
Was buffering for me every game for a few years. Now it doesnt. Conicided with me having to buy a new PC so thought maybe that was it and my experience might help others. If its the club then have at em

But my streaming Live TV on Amazon works perfectly now too.

But anyway. Go get em

My MSI gaming PC has 32G RAM and I still suffered buffering.

Got this from swansea trust this morning.

Thanks

I've had a couple of other similar issues reported to me yesterday so I'll raise them with the club and come back to you as soon as I can.

Kind regards
