So I've recently upgraded my TV to LG OLED and my main source of tv is Showbox, Terranium Tv etc etc. Chromecast lately is constantly buffering when I run these now. I've upgraded to the newest Chromecast but wondering if the others would be better as it's not going from my phone to Chromecast to TV rather than just plug into tv. Any help be greatly appreciated. Oh internet speed is 100mb with upload around 10-15 if that helps.

What's your WiFi signal strength? Run a speed test on your phone and give me the results.bearsfaninaz wrote:I'm still having issues with the buffering on the apps. Idk what else could be

I have a Roku and love it. I get my other channels (cable) thru Sling. The only channel I have ever had a problem with is NBC Sports Chicago of course. Seems to be problematic during Hawk games, appropriate.
