I’m based in the UK and I’ve got a couple of subs each with their own dedicated app running on an Nvidia shield. So far so good, only whenever I watch any live sports there is a frame skip every 5 seconds or so. It’s more noticeable on the UK sports channels (Sky etc) but doesn’t seem too bad on something like NBC Gold. I’m guessing there is an issue with the refresh rate / FPS but I’ve never been able to fully resolve the issue. I’ve tried the ‘refresh rate’ app on the Shield but I’ve no idea if it’s doing anything? Anyone else had an issue like this and managed to resolve it?
You sure that's not buffering? In some apps the buffer amount is very low and you won't see much of a indication of buffering other than a half second hiccup.
