If you notice buffering, try restarting your streaming device and router. This often resolves temporary connection issues.

Adjust your TV‘s picture settings like sharpness and motion smoothing for an optimal sports viewing experience.

Upgrade your older streaming device if needed – some don‘t have the RAM or processor for smooth HD streams.

Finally, consider connecting a VPN like ExpressVPN for maximum speed and to avoid pesky sports blackouts.
Following these tips will prevent lag, buffering and other issues – so you can enjoy nonstop sports action!
