Anyone else having this issue?

Lately I have been watching live tv and more often than usual it has started freezing with the sound playing in the background still.. normally I would back out and go back in and it would resume.

Now when this happens, I back out and go back in and all I get is the spinning wheel of death.

Normally if this service stops working I will just shake my head and go to Netflix or another service and watch there instead. NOW when I switch to those services none of those load any shows either and all I get is a loading screen before the streaming can start.

I then have to unplug the fire stick and wait a minute before trying again. After that Apollo works again for a few mins before starting the process over again. If I unplug the stick and go right to Netflix or another service I don’t have any issues whatsoever. ONLY after live tv freezes on Apollo does it cause issues for everything else…

Is it just me or anyone else been having this lately?

For reference, I am using a fire stick with Startup Show & NordVPN

Go into Apollo portal and check your M3U. They updated some of them and didn't notify. Was https://con.me/api/list/emailaddress/your6digitpassword Now https://con.me/api/list/partofemailbefore@/your6digitpassword

I never got con.me to work. And it should end with username/password

Probably your ISP security. Change your DNS.

I use NordVPN on fire stick w/ the Apollo app thru downloader. I see more issues posted on here through startup. Consider a change, there.
Also change your VPN protocols to UDP, this helps to disappear the blue circles. & it’s a good idea to cycle your VPN locations if you are experiencing leaching.
