Ours does quite frequently and it's the only channel that it happens on. The audio keeps going but the video stops. Weird.

All the more reason to get an antenna and not pay YouTube (or any provider) for something that you can receive over-the-air with no recurring fees.

We constantly have issues with channels on YTTV. Currently, WACH 57 isn't one of them though.
I've gone back and searched and looked at other streaming services to potentially switch to, but for the money and channel lineup, I can't come up with a better solution.

Get an antenna for local channels, and something like Sling TV to supplement it. No sense paying for WACH, WIS, WLTX, etc. when you can get them for free OTA.

The cost is the same for a streaming service regardless. You can't option out of the local channels on those services, if you sign up for the "live channel" version.

I watch a whole lot more than those 4 locals.

Right - they include it all. That's why I suggested a streaming service which does not include local channels.

It's probably more like a dozen or so if you include the subchannels.

Sling et al carry the local channels now. There really isn't a streaming service offering all the other channels that doesn't also carry the locals as well. You're going to pay for the local channels if you get one of the live streaming services. That was my point.

I thought that was optional for Sling. Sigh.

Not when I was looking at them as an option when we cut the cord. It may have changed, but the majority it is not an option. If you sign up for a Live streaming service, you're getting it all - locals, cable, on demand, etc.

FAQs

Why does my TV keep freezing while streaming? ›

An app that uses a lot of TV memory for buffering (video streaming apps) can cause the TV to reboot or freeze. Ensure a steady, high-quality network connection (preferably wired) when using these apps. A faulty app can cause stability issues on the TV.

Why does my channel keep freezing? ›

A TV's cache stores short-term information on your TV, in a manner similar to what your phone does. When it is full, it can cause your TV to become extremely slow, and cause its image to freeze. If you find your TV glitching frequently, consider clearing the cached data on it.

Why does the stream keep freezing? ›

If you're facing this little hiccup, it could be because your internet connection is playing hard to get. Streaming loves a zippy, stable internet connection, and if yours is more like a lazy river than a fast-flowing stream, the movie might pause now and then to refill its buffer.

Why are my streaming services not working on my TV? ›

3) Check Internet Connection: Make sure your TV is connected to the internet and that the connection is stable. You can do this by testing other streaming services or browsing the web on your TV. 4) Restart Router/Modem: If your internet connection seems slow or unstable, try restarting your router or modem.
