About 10 versions ago this started on channel startup. It micro buffers like crazy for about a minute or two until the channel I guess fully catches up when first opening a channel. It doesn’t happen all the time and it seems to happen on 720p the most. Is there a way to increase the initial buffer of channel startup specifically on the Nvidia Shield? It’s just really annoying when the channel first starts up but once it gets rid of the micro buffers initially it runs extremely smooth with absolutely no buffering. Thanks 😊
