Showtime provides up to 16 multiplex channels available in both standard and high definition. As of 2018, the OTT platform had more than 28 million subscribers nationwide.
It is also home to some popular TV series such as Homeland, Billions, Penny Dreadful, and Dexter amongst many more. But recent reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) from Showtime subscribers suggest that many subscribers are facing buffering and freezing issues.
Users say they are unable to watch anything on Showtime since the app acts up every few minutes. Some said they tried switching devices but it looks like the problem is affecting multiple platforms.
Generic solutions such as clearing data and reinstalling the app do not seem to make any difference. Below are some of the reports shared by Showtime users affected by the freezing and buffering issues.
With some reports dating back to December 2021, it looks like users have been unable to enjoy the service for quite some time now. Unfortunately, Showtime is yet to say anything about the buffering and freezing issues.
We hope developers shed some light on the matter sooner than later since many have been unable to watch their favorite TV shows in the last couple of months.
Rest assured, we will keep track of the developments on this one and update the story as we come across new information so make sure you stay tuned.
