How to Stop Buffering During Long Test Sessions
Test matches go for 5 days – you need rock-solid reliability. Follow these pro tips for buffer‑free cricket streaming:
Ethernet over WiFi
Always use a wired connection if possible. Firestick Ethernet adapters cost under $15 and eliminate wireless interference completely.
Close Background Apps
On Firestick, double-tap home and close unused apps. On Android TV, go to Settings → Apps → Force stop.
Increase Buffer Size
In TiviMate, go to Settings → Playback → Buffer size and set to "Large (10 seconds)". For 4K, try "Very Large (20 seconds)".
Use a VPN
ISPs often throttle streaming during peak times. A VPN like NordVPN or ExpressVPN hides your traffic and can boost speeds.
Check Your Speed
4K 50fps requires 30-40 Mbps. Run a speed test before the first ball. Use Analiti app on Firestick for accurate results.
Restart Weekly
Restart your router and streaming device once a week to clear memory and refresh connections – especially important for long Test matches.

Cricket matches often start late or go overnight. You'll never miss a wicket with these recording options:
