How to Stop Buffering During Long Test Sessions
Test matches go for 5 days – you need reliability. Follow these pro tips:
- Ethernet over WiFi: Always use a wired connection if possible. Firestick Ethernet adapters cost under $15.
- Close background apps: On Firestick, double-tap home and close unused apps.
- Increase buffer size: In TiviMate, go to Settings → Playback → Buffer size → set to "Large (10 seconds)".
- Use a VPN: ISPs often throttle streaming during peak times. A VPN (NordVPN/ExpressVPN) hides your traffic.
- Check your speed: 4K 50fps requires 30-40 Mbps. Run a speed test before the first ball.
Recording Cricket Matches
Cricket matches often start late or go overnight. With TiviMate premium, you can:
- Schedule recordings of entire matches or sessions.
- Record to USB or network storage – perfect for keeping classic Ashes battles.
- 7-day catch-up is also available for most channels on StarShare.
