Have you tried in different locations? Sprint TV works best when in a Rev A area.

Also have you checked if Rev A is enabled in your EPST.

I always come here before I call Sprint. Their techs just read off flashcards anyways. A monkey could do their job, lol. I would say if you are having this kind of problem you need to check your reception. Also you need to make sure you are connected to EVDO instead of 1x. Sprint TV is more than likely not the problem but if you are having good reception I would try downloading Sprint TV from here and reloading it. You still pay for Sprint TV, you need a better plan.

make sure you have an evdo connection not 1x this can be found by looking in your notifications and seeing either an ev or 1x ev is good

I'd have to agree with the above - sprint TV should throttle itself to run fairly smoothly on any EV link, rev-A not needed. Works fine for me off the stock 6.1 rom.

Now, if you are somehow running something in the background (RSS feed loader?) that could cause it, but its doubtful. Try a SOFT reset and the run sprint tv, see if that helps (assuming you've not got a nasty 1X on the top bar, meaning no EVDO...)

i upgraded to wm6.1 thats about all i know. i am in evdo not 1x but it happens all the time different places different channels etc. how do i check to see if rev a is enabled in epst?

also you may have a lot of ram being used hence the soft reset and rev a means nothing for sprint tv since it relies on down speeds and rev a speeds up up speads

i am not sure if your saying your offended or you dont know what a soft reset it but a soft reset is when you stick your stylus into the whole below your sd card and it restarts your phone you should do this 1 or 2 times a day or when your phone starts to lag
