You can use this free online tool to check your Internet connection’s speed:

  • Speed Test (Select the New York option as a baseline)

YOUR NETWORK

Make sure you (or others on your network) are not downloading music, movies, or games while you are using Fever Direct, as these activities consume your bandwidth and may mean you are not getting enough bandwidth to stream Fever Direct.

 

Closed networks, such as the ones found on college campuses, hotels, hospitals, businesses, etc., can cause connectivity issues with live streaming video if certain ports are blocked or restricted.

 

INTERNET CONGESTION

Despite having a fast Internet connection, Internet congestion can slow down the delivery of the stream, make it difficult for you to connect, or cause buffering. Often the interruption is temporary.

 

If you repeatedly have problems connecting, please notify your Internet Service Provider. There are often quick fixes they can make when they learn about your issue.

There are several reasons why a stream may have issues. If the stream is taking a long time to load, is consistently buffering, or is of low quality, it could be the following:

 

SLOW INTERNET CONNECTIVITY / NOT ENOUGH BANDWIDTH

Fever Direct works best over 4G and Wi-Fi networks. As Fever Direct uses adaptive playback that adjusts the quality of the stream depending on your network bandwidth, slower networks or internet connection speeds can reduce the video quality available in Fever Direct. Try troubleshooting here, or contact your Internet Service Provider or Mobile Data Provider if you suspect you are getting less bandwidth than you should.

 

CPU UTILIZATION (DESKTOP)

If your CPU is running at or above about 75%, you will likely encounter issues with sluggish or choppy video quality.

 

To check your CPU usage on a Windows computer, press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously and then select “Task Manager”. Your current CPU usage percentage is displayed under the “Performance” tab.

 

To check your CPU usage on a Mac OSX computer, launch the Activity Monitor application. Your current CPU usage percentage is displayed under the CPU tab.

 

If you’re experiencing high CPU utilization, close any unnecessary applications which will help save CPU resources. Also, please check your CPU utilization while the media player is running.

One of the most common issues seen by Fever Direct users is that of weak and interrupted internet connectivity within their home Wi-Fi networks.
