Live Tv Streaming problems

Question

I am trying to use a metro app to stream live tv.  I tried filmon, omnivision tv, & pptv.  None of them can stream.  filmon and ominivision cannot get past loading.  PPTV can load and I can watch on demand shows however live streams do not work.  Any ideas as to why?

I am running windows 8 pro 64bit.  The mother board is a UEFI motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI.

Answer 1

Have you tried, since your last efforts with Avast, to uninstall the faulty Apps, and then to reinstall them and retest?

For testing purposes disable Windows Defender Real Time scanning.  See what that does.  Also have another look at the Clean Boot procedure concentrating on third party programs and services.

See if these are an option for you to consider.   Windows 8 includes these built in options.

Answer 2

Sometime the install just gets so corrupted that the only option is to start all over again.  Just out of interest do you play around with software like Registry Cleaners?  I have seen that type of program upset Windows on numerous occasions.

In answer to your question about resetting or refreshing, see these articles.

Once your system is up and running OK, then make another system image, for backup purposes, and keep repeating the process regularly.
