Streaming stops part way through playback for no reason

I regularly use EETV to playback shows that I am unable to watch 'live' and for some reason streaming will just stop part way through whatever I'm watching and just go back to the home menu.  I start up the show again and am forced to watch it all the way from the start (which I don't because who's got time for that?) - why would streaming just abruptly stop? My broadband is as fast as it can be and there's no issue with that.  I pay for a TV package that for the most part is ok but I just understand why it's so unreliable and just decides to quit like it does sometimes, I have restarted all equipment, made sure everything is up to date yet it fails and it's very frustrating.

Which app on EE TV specifically are you experiencing this in @Ty_1978 ?  And from which device?  A TV Box Pro? TV Box Mini? Apple TV?

Hi Darren,

It's a Humax (TV recordable box) BTTV digi box which is running the latest software

I don't think it's an app as such, I press the blue home button on the remote then search and start watching (sometimes)

It will be launching one of the apps on the box to play it - the channel / app name will be shown in the corner of the image for that programme.  If you're unsure, let us know the programme you're trying to watch.

Ah yeah then it's launching My5

OK great.  Could I ask you to please try launching the My5 app from the apps menu, and then find the programme within it - watch it from there instead.  If the fault still occurs, it'll either return to the My5 menu or the EE TV menu - let us know which, as it will give us a big clue on where the fault is.

Thanks Darren, as it is intermittent I will report back should it happen again.  Thank you for your help.
