Prime Video - Constant interruptions!!

Since my Prime subscription, which started as soon as it launched, there have been continuous micro-cuts during the match broadcasts.

However, my Freebox Revolution is connected via fiber with an Ethernet cable: so there's no issue coming from there.

Moreover, I brought in a team of technicians at my own expense, as well as a very good friend who is highly knowledgeable in this field, and they all confirmed that I had an excellent reception signal and that the problem was coming from Prime.

Additionally, there is another unbelievable issue: the app on the iPhone doesn't bug, and it's the one that's live; not the TV.

Indeed, if you start both at the same time (TV and app), you'll immediately notice that it's the app that is live, with approximately a 30s to 1 minute lead over the TV.

All it takes is to compare the two displays of the match time.

And to finish, since there is a micro-cut of about 10s every 2-3 minutes (even during halftime), and the image restarts where it was interrupted, in the end the match on TV often ends 8 minutes later than on the app.

For example, tonight during OM-Nice, the second half resumed on TV, VERY PRECISELY 4 minutes after it did on the app.

With all the micro-cuts in the second half, the match on TV ended nearly 8 minutes after the app.

It's a SHAME!!

With the "screen mirroring" function of the iPhone, I wanted to transfer the match to the TV, thus eliminating 2 problems at once: the delay and the micro-cuts.

Unfortunately, it's impossible.

What the HELL is going on, what can I do?

Sincerely.

Hello,

Your issue with Prime may be due to the box. The Prime app on the Freebox Revolution is not great: slow and unresponsive.
If you have an Android TV with Prime included, use that program instead of the Freebox one. The difference is considerable.

As for the interruptions, I understand that it's very inconvenient. One cannot talk about micro interruptions when it lasts 10 seconds. The program has to be paused, somewhat like you can do with a television program. So obviously the delays accumulate and it's no longer true live, even if you haven't missed a second of the match.


What is well understood is clearly stated,
And the words to say it come easily.

Yes, but the problem occurs not only with Free but also with other operators. I only mentioned Free because that's my issue, and I have therefore focused the most on those who are in my situation.

Hello, Free offers "OQEE by Free". Check out these deals, personally I have Orange and the Canal Plus Sport option, it's perfect and ad-free.

I have exactly the same problems at every match. The best thing for me is to cancel. If everyone does the same, maybe they'll think about it.
