Paramount+ Micro Buffering

Brother52 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 14:10:06 GMT

I'm having issues with very brief pauses in the Paramount+ app on my LG TV, the pause is imperceptible for the most part but the app flicks up the play icon centre screen when it happens, which is about every 3 minutes. I've tried all the obvious stuff (reinstall app, power cycle everything) with no luck. I was wondering if there might be a routing issue that I can add an entry into the router routing tables for or something.

Anyone have any ideas?

HI @Brother52

Is your TV connected via WiFi or it is connected using an Ethernet cable (cat 5e or above)?

OK, thanks @Brother52

Could you try another ethernet cable, just to see if it makes a difference please?

Hi - I get this to a lesser degree on my box and smart TV. I believe it must be something on Paramounts end though as I tested tethering my 5G signal (which is less speed than my full fibre internet) to my smart TV and the issue remained
