During Week 9 of the NFL games, RedZone experienced technical difficulties that affected its streaming quality. Users reported issues where the stream appeared choppy, blurry, or nearly unwatchable. These problems were not limited to a specific streaming service; even subscribers using traditional cable services encountered similar disruptions.
Numerous social media users, including those accessing RedZone over cable, noted that while other channels were functioning properly, the RedZone channel suffered from buffering and freezing issues. A significant increase in problem reports for NFL Network was observed on Down Detector around 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, coinciding with the start of the first games. Although there is no specific page for reporting RedZone issues, these reports might serve as an indirect indication of the problems.
The inconsistencies in the RedZone service prompted users to frequently check its availability. Mashable has contacted the NFL’s media team for further explanation and will provide updates if any additional information is received.
