Lifelong IT dork here; run some Cat6 to your TV and plug into your router/switch.

Tv was freezing so switched to phone and was fine. Both Verizon 5g so not sure what the issue was. But it was another week of frustration. At least this week I could rewind, unlike last week.

I had enough lag here and there to make me pine for the days of ESPN2 and cable.

Mine worked great for the 450 main….  That’s all I watched. 

Edit….  Watched on my laptop w/ very fast fiber connection.

My situation was kinda odd...during the race the Peacock app went down , not just the stream.  I exited out of peacock and came back in and it just showed some bouncing peacock bubbles for a bit.  All other streaming apps were working fine on the TV , just not peacock.  After several minutes, Peacock was back up again.  Peacock has been super reliable for me and this is the first hiccup I can remember having.  I have a 1/2 gig fiber connection that has been super solid.

It’s definitely on their end. Hardwired with gigspeed with random freezes. No drop in quality though. Froze right at the start of the 250 main from me. They pushed some sort of update, can no longer rewind.

RDL sucked for me but night show was fine 🤷‍♂️

Perfect all day casting from phone to TV. Picture got fuzzy a couple of times but that is because of location where my cell signal isn't great and bounces between 4g and 5g all the time.

Next time cast to your TV from your phone and I bet it'll be better, unless you're Internet provider is running low on bandwidth. That's usually more of a cell tower issue though. I'm not a fan of smart TVs because they're basically shitty computers built inside the TV. I use a Chromecast on a 2012 visio and a fire stick on the other one, no issues with freezing casting to the Chromecast.

Went to a friends house last week to watch the races . He has ATT fiber and it was glitching then he used his phone as a hot spot and it went away. Last night at my house with shitty service it was glitching then I just refreshed the App on the TV and it was all good.

So many variables with providers infrastructure in any given area. I'm spoiled with 2gig fios. Ran cat6 from switch to all TVs.

I’ve had no issues. I don’t know enough about IT to diagnose y’all’s issues but it has to be an internet issue right? Why else would some like me have no issues?
