Hey there Philthegeek,

I apologize about the late response, thank you for being patient! Were you able to fix that stuttering issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:

When did this issue start happening?
Does this only happen with one particular app/website, or many?
Is your Chromecast's firmware up-to-date?
Is your Google Home app up-to-date?
What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran

Hi Jeran,

Thank you for your reply. Tried turning the moderm off and on. I am not very technical. The buffering is happening with one app in particular, SkysportNow both being cast from my mac laptop and from my app on my TCL TV.

Cheers

Phil

Of course! Here are some steps I can recommend for now when you run into this issue, some steps may only apply when you are casting from your Mac laptop:

Disconnect the cast session and then re-cast.
Toggle Wi-Fi off/on the casting device.
Exit any battery-draining applications that are running.
Turn off power saving mode.
Decrease the distance between the TV, casting device, and Wi-Fi router.
Confirm that the Chrome browser, device operating system, and Chromecast Firmware are up-to-date.
Reboot the Chromecast.

I hope that helps out! However, if the issue keeps occurring, and it's only with Sky Sport Now, it may be worth reaching out to their support to see if they are aware of any issues going on.

Best regards,

Jeran
