Hi there! I understand that you're experiencing some issues with AFN Now, where it's buffering and connecting, but the video quality is grainy, and it freezes after about 30 seconds. Let's work together to resolve this!

To start, could you please tell me a bit more about your setup? Are you using any particular device for streaming (like a smart TV, computer, or streaming box)? Additionally, how is your internet connection? Is it wired or wireless, and how strong does the signal seem?

Once I have this information, we can dive into some troubleshooting steps!

Thanks for the clarification that you're using a smart TV. Here are some steps to help troubleshoot the buffering and freezing issues with the AFN Now app:

1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure your smart TV is connected to the internet. You can do this by going to the TV’s settings and checking the network status. If you’re using Wi-Fi, make sure the signal is strong.

2. Restart Your Smart TV and Network:
- Unplug your smart TV from the power outlet and wait for about 10 seconds before plugging it back in.
- Restart your router by unplugging it, waiting for a minute, and then plugging it back in.

3. Update the AFN Now App: Check if there’s an update available for the AFN Now app on your smart TV. Outdated apps can cause performance issues. Look for an "Updates" section in your app store.

4. Clear App Cache or Data:
- Go to the settings on your smart TV.
- Find the "Apps" or "Application Manager" section.
- Locate AFN Now and look for the option to clear cache or data.

5. Adjust Video Quality Settings: If AFN Now has an option for adjusting video quality, try setting it to a lower resolution to see if that improves performance.

6. Test Another App: To determine if the issue is with AFN Now specifically, try streaming a video from another app (like YouTube or Netflix) to see if it also buffers or has issues.

7. Hard Reset Your TV: If all else fails, you can do a factory reset on your smart TV. Keep in mind this will erase all your settings and apps, so use it as a last resort.
