Cathlete
I continually have problems with streaming Cathe. It freezes and won't start again, and then I have to find a DVD to replace the workout I planned on doing. I tried to start everything again this morning, and I could not even get the website to come on. I have NO problems with internet, and everything else works. Just Cathe Live. It's the persistent unpredictability that I find frustrating. When it works, great. When not, I hate it.

problems with streaming

That is why i avoid streaming! DVDs or Downloads, so any problems are mine to solve!
It can be that the Internet connection is overloaded by a large nubmer of streamers at the same time!
Try to contact support, they may be able to help! They may inform you about peak streaming times so that you can avoid them! Good Luck!

Yes. I access Live using the Internet on my Smart TV. I have to often delete my history and reboot my router. Then it works fine. I hate constantly logging in too. It's a pain using the remote. Much easier using my tablet but I am spoiled with a big screen tv. I rarely have any freezing with you tube.

If you can cast from or mirror your tablet to your smart TV, you'll be able to stream via the easier, spoiled with your TV's big screen, by casting or mirrorring your tablet on the TV screen. These can either be built in on tablets or through apps such as miracast, chromcast, samsung smartthings, ... depending on the type of your tablet!
 
I used to mirror from my tablet to my tv, but after awhile I was forced to pay. Not doing that. I actually prefer the way I'm doing it now, it just can be time consuming. Yesterday I got on right away. Not sure when the next time I will have to relog in. That's what I find irritating.
 
The lag and dropped connection issues smack in the middle of a workout are also why I am reluctant to re-sub to OnDemand. Had it happen to me a couple of times and it's just flipping frustrating. Especially when you're very warmed up and then end up cooling down almost completely as you try to work out a solution.

Like others, I prefer DVDs, and when I don't have a DVD, then it's a download that I either air play to my TV or play from my device via an HDMI cable.
 
I had my fair share of technical issues. From both my own internet connection and from cloud platforms in the beginning of live/on demand.

It's DVD and download for me at this point.

ETA : At the moment I am working out Cathe DVDs and downloads. My files are stored in a flash drive. All I do is stick it to my tv which plays mp4 and AVI files. It is the fastest process from the download to running the actual file. It works efficiently.

Yes I have had issues in the past also. Doesn't seem to happen with any other subscriptions. Not sure why it does with Cathe. So I use the DVDs for Cathe. We changed internet providers so wonder if I will have better luck now but not subscribing to find out. maybe in the future.
 
This morning it froze 3 times and I went back to restart kickbox crush at the time it stopped. I gave up at 40 minutes because at least it was in the final stretch. Other times I cannot restart at all, so I count this as a success.
 
I tried to login yesterday and it froze for a really long time. I recently cleared my history and rebooted my router, so that can't be the issue. Anyway, I ended up doing a YT workout which works great. After work I am excited to do the free LRM2 Total Body download. I got a new tablet that has much more memory. Don't really like the small screen but, since it's a rarity that I would use it for videos.
 
I access Live through the Internet on my Samsung tv. When it works, it's pretty quick. I don't seem to have problems watching Live on my tablet. I just prefer not to, due to picture size. I know I can do a hook up, etc... but I work full-time and really don't have a lot of time to screw around with technology after work. Nor do I want to. I also have a good selection of dvds that I am starting to revisit often lately. YT works fine and I have lots to choose from. It just bugs me that I'm paying for something that is so glitchy.
