Apple TV 4 buffering with live tv only

A very, very long time later…

I had wondered that. My kids are always messing with that. But I have yet to master the dark art of the timeline. Is there a way to reset it?

Either just accept the rebuffer or make sure you you leave a small gap from the end of the stream, ie leaving a manual buffer of 5-10 seconds. Normally the player takes its sweet time when you start up a channel because it is streaming you a good 10 seconds ahead of time. So when you normally start out on a channel you have a buffer of 10’ish seconds. However the player does not stop you from forwarding into that buffer leaving you with something like 4 seconds of buffer. Well since the tablo sends you video in like 4 second chunks it doesn’t take much for the player to run out of video before the next 4 second chunk is received. So nothing to reset, you just have to not seek to the very edge of the right side of the screen. Leave a small gap.
