### Troubleshooting: If Buffering Starts in the 2nd or 3rd Period
– **If buffering begins before 10:00 in 3rd period**: Reboot MAG Box (unplug 10 sec), then re-authenticate in *IPTV Player > Settings > Account*.
– **If freeze occurs at even strength (non-powerplay)**: Hold *Back* + *OK* for 7 seconds to force-reload stream.
– **If audio drops at 1st whistle**: In *Settings > Audio*, switch to *Passthrough (AC3)* and *Sample Rate 48 kHz*.
Shadowstream’s anti-freeze tech survived 12K concurrent streams during NBA Christmas Day. During last year’s Cup Final, buffer incidents dropped 89% vs. competitors.
