Why is YouTube Slow on Hisense TV?
YouTube requires a lot of internet data, or bandwidth, to work normally. YouTube can slow down on a Hisense TV if that TV does not have a strong internet connection.
YouTube can also slow down due to internet problems, internal bugs with the YouTube app, and even problems on Google’s servers that are interrupting your YouTube viewing experience.
Most of these issues can be fixed by making sure your Hisense TV has a good internet connection.
This includes making sure you don’t have too many devices connected at once, that your TV is close to your router, and that you have enough data on your internet plan to stream YouTube content.
Problems with the app can be fixed by checking for updates for both the app and the TV itself. You can also check online to see if YouTube is experiencing server problems.
Why Does YouTube Keep Buffering on My Hisense TV?
YouTube keeps buffering on a Hisense TV because the YouTube app is having trouble connecting to the internet.
This means it is able to only load small portions of a show at a time, which causes it to lag and buffering to load more content.
Improving the connection will allow YouTube to stream content more effectively and reduce buffering.
A little buffering is normal even on fast internet connections. Your YouTube app, and all video apps, use buffering to pre-load video content.
The YouTube app then plays it back while loading future segments. This is why you can watch a small section of a video that has already buffered even if you lose your internet connection entirely.

Lagging can appear as a video randomly buffering, video and sound sync issues, or as an inability to show search results.
The biggest cause is the internet connection that keeps giving out, is overcrowded, or does not have enough bandwidth for YouTube.
