Fix IPTV Buffering on Apple TV

Apple TV is powerful, but IPTV buffering still happens when Wi-Fi or stream settings are unstable. Use the steps below to stabilize playback.

Use Ethernet or strong Wi-Fi

If possible, connect Apple TV via Ethernet. On Wi-Fi, use the 5 GHz band and keep the device within range of the router.

Update tvOS and the IPTV app

Go to Settings > System > Software Updates and install the latest tvOS update. Update your IPTV app from the App Store.

Adjust stream quality and buffer

Some apps allow manual quality or buffer settings. Lower the stream quality if you see repeated buffering on high bitrate channels.

Reboot and clear app cache

Restart the Apple TV and close unused apps. If your IPTV app supports clearing cache or reloading playlists, do it after updates.
