Slow connection

My cable service is slow to connect, especially with streaming services. My tv upstairs doesn’t have this issue. What gives?

Thank you for reaching out to us on our community forums @user_q2nf4w! That's definitely interesting, especially since your upstairs TV isn't experiencing the same behavior. Is the upstairs TV a smart TV, using a Roku, Firestick, etc. to watch the apps or does it also use a cable box?

 

When you say it's slow to connect, are you referring to both live TV channels and OnDemand content too?

 

How long is the delay?
