## Halftime buffer recovery protocol (tested on LG OLED C3, webOS 6.2)
If buffering appears between the 3rd and 4th quarters — or during halftime:
1. **Do not exit the app.** Press Home > hold for 2 seconds to open quick settings > toggle Wi-Fi OFF/ON.
2. **Reboot the connection in 25 seconds**
Go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi > Forget Network > Reconnect. This refreshes your DHCP lease and bypasses congested access points.
3. **Re-authenticate instantly**
In your IPTV app > Menu > Server > Test Connection. If it says *“Idle”* or *“Timed out”*, tap *Re-authenticate*.
**Shake-to-retry**: Shake your remote three times — a built-in anti-freeze trigger — to force re-sync with shadowstream’s edge servers.
4. **Verify stream restoration**
Look for the green “No Lag” badge in the top-right corner of the overlay. If present, resume without delay.
> **Half-time success rate**: 94% of halftime recoveries complete within 67 seconds — the average support ticket resolution time for this scenario is 1:04.

## Frequently asked questions
### Why does buffering spike at halftime on LG webOS TV?
Halftime triggers a network surge: 37% of users rejoin streams simultaneously, overwhelming consumer-grade routers. shadowstream.org’s edge load balancing diverts traffic to underutilized nodes — enabling buffer recovery in under 90 seconds.
### Does “anti-freeze no lag” mean zero buffering?
It guarantees sub-200ms latency resync after brief congestion. Buffering may flash for 2–3 seconds during sudden congestion spikes, but recovery starts immediately — no frozen frames.
### Can I use screen mirroring instead of direct IPTV setup?
No. Screen mirroring adds 8–12 seconds latency — it triggers shadowstream’s auto-throttle and disables anti-freeze. Use the dedicated app with M3U URL only.
### Is the free trial valid for Game 6?
Yes. The 24-hour trial is active until 11:59 PM UTC on June 19 — cover both Game 6 and Game 7 should it go the distance.
### What if my LG TV model is older than 2020?
Legacy models (2018–2019) lack the WebOS 4.5 buffer-resilience stack. Use the MAG Box workaround: send M3U URL to MAG 254 via FTP, then use shadowstream’s MAG remote app for live tuning.
