Buffering only in the evening: a comparison plan
A stream working during the day but stalling at night does not identify the responsible system on its own. Compare two observations under similar conditions before changing your plan.
Keep the comparison consistent
Use the same device, app and connection type during the day and at the troublesome evening time. Record the content, time and other heavy internet use in the home. Note whether only one stream is affected. Results from different devices and networks on different days are much harder to interpret.
Test the home connection separately
Where possible, compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet on the same device. Google TV’s official troubleshooting suggestions include router placement and a wired connection. Improvement over cable is a reason to examine the wireless path; it does not conclusively rule out every other cause. Google TV: troubleshoot your device
Send both observations to support
A useful note might say that two named channels stalled at 21:15 on the same device but worked earlier. Add a speed-test result if available, while remembering that one high number does not prove uninterrupted playback. Explain the pattern before paying to upgrade an internet tariff; a more expensive connection may not address the actual problem.
Your practical checklist
- Daytime and evening observations
- Same device and player
- Other traffic in the home
- Wired comparison if available
