Fix: Discovery Plus Keeps Buffering Always
The buffering or freezing issue with Discovery Plus might occur due to various reasons. While sometimes it might be a temporary problem other times it can be quite persistent. Well, however, the problem might be, assuming that it is a software problem, here are some proven fixes that might resolve the issue.
1. Check internet connection
Of course, the first thing we would like you to do is to check whether you have a reliable internet connection or not. If you are on cellular data, try turning on the airplane mode and again turn it off. If it is a connection problem, this should instantly fix it. On the other hand, you might also consider connecting to reliable wifi and check if that works out or not.
Considering my other 7 streaming services never buffer (including when watching on many devices) I am concluding it’s the app itself. I have tested my speeds, restarted router etc. Nothing helps. It’s ONLY discovery plus we have issues with. I think the app just sucks. Wish they would fix it as I love their content.
