Discovery plus buffering

This app often will not load at all. It gets stuck on logo. There is alot of buffering and often just  freezes. It may go to settings-to set language, then a error comes up to reboot. That does not fix it. If it does it is only temporary. Mostly I can not use this app. I do not have this repetitive problem with other apps. I do not use Discovery  anymore because of the ongoing problem. I have Infinity flex. Rebooting or a system refresh not solving the glitches. What is erong? I see with other inquiries the same issue snd Infinity just does not seem to fix it. Discovery saying it is not a problem on their end. SO Whats up?

My Discovery+ app keeps buffering when I’m trying to watch a show. I use several other streaming apps without a problem, so it has to be a problem with this one. If this isn’t resolved I will be canceling the app!

Just signed up for a 1 week trial of Discovery+ on Xfinity (and got the app on my iPhone) and it buffers every 3-5 minutes.  Makes viewing impossible.   I'll be happy to let you look at this.  
I also cannot get Paramount Plus to load EVER!  it finally times out after getting past the user selection. 
Both apps work fine on my phone.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, @user_8bd8f7. You stated that the apps work fine on the phone, what kind of device is it that you are experiencing the buffering on? Is this happening within the app section of the Xfinity TV box? Is the box a wireless box or if it is hardwired, is there a splitter involved?

It is on your official xfinity cable box.  We have the larger "primary/master" box in the living room and the smaller "secondary" one in my bedroom.  The hardwire from the wall cable connection goes directly to the box in both situations.  No splitter. No wireless boxes.

Thank you for clarifying what devices you're experiencing this buffering issue on. So that we don't go over something you've already done, can you please share with me what troubleshooting steps have you completed on your own, @user_8bd8f7?

Greetings,

I also am trying to watch Discovery+ on the Xfinity box that is directly connected via cable and it's unwatchable due to buffering. I have zero issues streaming all the other apps. I can access Discovery+ on my Apple TV device which is connected via WiFi and that streams just fine. So there has to be something going on with the Xfinity Discovery+ app itself.

Thanks, Joe.

Hi, @

I am sorry to hear about the Discovery+ issues you are experiencing. Have you done any basic troubleshooting yet?
