harbourside Posted February 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have read in reviews that there is a lot of buffering and freezing while trying to watch a movie. Can anyone tell me of their experiences with watching movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruJeffie Posted February 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I never had any buffering or freezing for the on demand movies on the TV. However, if you are trying to stream video via WIFI that is another issue and yes it will buffer and freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harbourside Posted February 16, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The TV entertainment system has lots choices of things to watch but it constantly buffers and it freezes and you can't hear anything for 5-10 seconds and it happens ALL the time. Even with their own ship broadcasts the system constantly buffers. Try to listen to the shore excursions briefing on the TV and it is a real chore. Watch a movie, others have mentioned, and it buffers in the middle of it and it could never be restarted. This extract was from a review I was reading.

Jim Avery Posted February 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We had absolutely no problems watching movies on Viking Sun. 120 days we watched lots of movies. Occasionally the satellite feed would get dropped while watching news channels. I believe the movies are on the ships internal system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moatenote Posted February 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2019 We've been on the Star for 3 cruises now (Homelands, Empires, and Eastern Seaboard) and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderlander123 Posted February 19, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just off the Viking Sea, (Caribbean and South America) and we were unable to watch any movies on the TV in the cabin due to constant buffering. The movies under the stars on the pool deck in the evening were wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrulyBlonde Posted February 21, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2019 On our Viking British Isles cruise we became addicted to Downton Abbey. 🙂 Very good selection on Viking and no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
