UK ITV buffering

[superal]

Tried to watch the England v Albania game on this early morning on ITV but it was constantly buffering and was unwatchable . All other channels were OK . Did anyone else have the same problem ?

Lots of other people trying to watch is why its buffering,

try https://www.footballorgin.com/   should be on there

to watch with no buffering.

No one can help you much because you fail to provide the relevant important information..such as  where you watching ITV direct from the official website/player   or through an IPTV 3rd party supplier.. and less important what equipment, Wifi or Wired, VPN or not, ISP speed.

 

But as @worgeordie  suggested if not the "official" then more than likely  just too many viewers overloaded the server..could happen to the official site too but less likely.

Hi, there's an app called 'live TV soccer' which, as well as the scores, lists all the worldwide channels broadcasting each game. If you use a VPN you can just switch country and watch on other free to air channels etc. Might be in a foreign language but better than buffering.. also useful if you use IPTV with lots of countries (the game was on supersport for instance)

wired , 80mbps down 50 up  , no vpn ,   iptv , but as I said all other channels were good , so as you and worgeordie said , maybe too many people watching

Yes it seems then the problem is your IPTV provider server was swamped with to many people trying to watch at the same time.

Find alternative IPTV provider or watch the "official"  stream direct from ITV  which will require a VPN as it is geo restricted to the UK.

Can you recommend a VPN , cos there are so many . A couple of years ago I did have Tunnel Bear which was quite easy to  use .

No problem watching it with Pulse TV.

A little expensive but it works.

I watched the game this morning ( San Marino v England ) on ITV with no vpn and this time it was perfection with no buffering ,  10 - 0 to England with 3 good goals disallowed by VAR ( wrongly in my opinion ) . What a one sided game  , a pointless  charade with a forgone conclusion .
