TV buffering in the evening

[StinkyPete]

My Sky Q is hard wired , but buffers in the evening .

as tho it is being throttled.

What 'buffers'?

Q is primarily a satellite system so buffering shouldn't be an issue unless there's an issue with your wiring, LNB or alignment.

Sky Q is buffering  (lost internet message) . Hard wired with cat5 into the router , so wifi not involved in the set up.

What is buffering?  Sky Q receives it's live channels via satellite so would not be affected by any broadband issue.  So is it live channels, apps or on-demand services that are buffering?

[StinkyPete]

On demand services .

Doesn't matter which , just appears around peak times like 9.30 pm till 11.00

Im thinking either it's the internet speed or Sky Q box.

Even tho a speed test says it's all good , and hardware check using Sky apps are all Green .

Tested last night , and ITV X buffered , loosing internet while normal channels were working ok .

somewhere to start I guess.
