PlayStation Vue network down or buffering problems

PlayStation Vue is the online streaming service that connects all of your favorite cable channels into one integrated hub allowing you to watch whatever you want direct from your PS4 console.

It is the ultimate home entertainment service for many users and the monthly plans can include access to premium channels such as HBO Now, Showtime, FOX, FOX Sports, NBCSN and much more.

Being a streaming service though, it means that there can be sudden PlayStation Vue problems which are out of your control if a channel is not working or loses connection without warning.

The biggest problem with PlayStation Vue is when live shows keep buffering and it can cause a serious headache when you need to watch a certain programme without disruption.

For a few weeks I have been having an issue with PlayStation Vue pausing very frequently when watching numerous channels. I do not have any issues watching Netflix or Prime. I have been very please with PlayStation Vue but I am getting very frustrated with the constant pausing…. especially when I’m watching a hockey game. I have practically stopped watching shows because it is so annoying and going to other services like Netflix, Prime, Hulu etc. If this continues to occur I will be forced to go to another provider so I can actually watch the channels I am paying for. Please fix the issue and reduce your cost while the issues are persistent – which they have been for some time.

I just signed up for PlayStation Vue and I loved it till the wife said it started to buffer on her TV.
I have tried everything from different devices and settings on my network.
Fubutv ,netflix, hulu have no problem buffering.

Wish Sony would fix this .

We have PSVUE and have been loving it for the past few years but within the recent month the freezing and buffering have over taken us. We run off Spectum using a Roku and also a Firestick. We stream Hulu & Netfilx and Amazon Prime and have no issues with these services. If PSVUE does not come up with a fix for the issues then they will be losing a long time customer. I use to praise how great PSVUE was and recommend it to all my friends, Not anymore!!!

We have had PSVue for several months and are currently looking for a new service.

The problems we are encountering are: TV Shows just freeze then bounce back 5 minutes and play all over again, or jump ahead after being frozen.
It really sucks and from all of the research I have been doing, I keep hearing Sony has no desire to fix this and put the blame on the end user.

We watch everything streaming from Netflix, to Hulu on Apple TV and never have a problem with anything, this is all on their service.

I’m another PSVue user with the same buffering/freezing problem that started about 2 weeks ago. It worked just fine for about a year then all of a sudden it started failing. Now that I’ve read that so many other people are experiencing the same issue and that PSVue won’t address the problem, there will be no choice but to find another streaming service. How sad because overall Vue was good. Tried Sling which was lousy. Going to have to move on – I’m not putting up with this annoyance at night when I want to relax.

Just got PSVue a week ago or so. no matter what I use it on – the PS4 or Roku – it freezes way too much. It seems like it locks up whatever I’m running it through, along with my router. We have the fastest internet speed we can get and I don’t feel we should be having this problem. It’s insane to have to keep rebooting everything AT LEAST once a day.

Watching Fox business news, kept pausing. Now it has completely stopped! Thos had been happening for several days on different channels.

I’m trying to watch NFL on CBS and literally every 10-15 seconds it starts buffering. I’ve just about had it with Vue.

I received a PS Vue onscreen update last night and quickly installed it and rebooted my Nvidia Shield. Have not had even one buffer or freeze on any channel ever since. Am running wireless at 150/150. Good luck out there!

My PS4 is hardwired and it’s buffering every few minutes on ESPN.

I’ve been having buffering issues all this week. MSNBC Velocity and other channels. It’s terrible. My download speeds on my router/modem ATT 1 gig service has been fine.

I’ve had Vue for about 3 months now and I really love it. But in the past 2 weeks or so, the service has been awful. It keeps stopping and starting, making watching impossible. Tonight, I tried to watch the Olympics and got SO frustrated that I downloaded the 7 days trial of DirecTv Now. Watched all night without a single issue. I kept bouncing back to Vue, just to see if it was working but, sure enough, it was still unwatchable. I like everything about Vue better than DirecTv Now, but if I can’t watch what I want, I’m just going to have to drop Vue and pay more for DirecTv Now.

Getting out of control and taking the joy out of my “entertainment”. (t has been really bad since the upgrade that brought the guide. This morning no channels are working properly on Roku tv. Will play for about 30-seconds then just the pause screen. Very frustrating. If sling had Fox News and CBS I would be gone. As it is, I may just have to figure out a different way to watch them. No cost savings with Sling but if it works they’re ahead of Sony!
