Live TV buffering for remote users

Why does the Live TV feature buffer/choke when viewing for remote users?

In my situation, I have an indoor antenna with HDHomerun Flex 4K tuner. The signals come through clear and are at high strength. There is no problem when watching at home on my HD Homerun app. Furthermore, when I watch these OTA signals through Plex at home, the feed is fine.

however, when watching remotely such as on my my phone or at my friend’s house, the feed buffers or just freezes.

I’ve tried adjusting the feed settings within the server as well as on the device that is remote (switching to a lower resolution), but just get the same results.

I have also setup a MoCa connection in my home so that feed has a hard-line connection to the router. Not sure if this matters, but I’m using a Synology NAS as well.

Are there any other settings I can do?
