Hi there! I understand you're having the S.A. (San Antonio) Rodeo feed going in and out on the Cowboy Channel Plus app on your Android device. Let's see if we can get that streaming smoothly for you.

To start, could you tell me if this happens all the time or just at certain times? Also, are you connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data? Knowing these details helps me narrow down the cause.

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps that often resolve streaming interruptions:

1. Check Your Internet Connection:
Ensure you have a stable internet connection. If you're on Wi-Fi, try moving closer to the router or switch to mobile data temporarily to see if it improves.

2. Restart the App:
Close the Cowboy Channel Plus app completely, then reopen it.

3. Clear App Cache (for Android 10):
- Go to Settings > Apps > Cowboy Channel Plus.
- Tap on "Storage."
- Select "Clear Cache."
Then try streaming again.

4. Update or Reinstall the App:
- Check the Google Play Store for any available updates for Cowboy Channel Plus.
- If up-to-date, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

5. Close other Background Apps:
Sometimes other apps running in the background can affect streaming.

If you have already tried any of these or if the issue persists, we can dig deeper into app or network settings, or check for any server-side issues.

Let me know how these steps go or if you notice any patterns with the interruptions!

Hey Henry.... internet is good. On starlink.has not been working since before Fort Worth.

Thanks for the extra details! Since you mentioned your internet is stable via Starlink but the Cowboy Channel Plus feed has been spotty since before the Fort Worth event, this might be related to a specific compatibility or network setting issue with Starlink.

A bit of background: Some users have reported that certain apps, including streaming ones, can run into trouble on Starlink due to how its network routes traffic or its DNS (Domain Name System) settings. Here’s something worth trying that has helped others using Starlink with streaming apps:

1. Set Custom DNS Addresses in Starlink Router:
- Open your Starlink app or access your Starlink router settings (usually at 192.168.1.1 via browser on your device).
- Look for an option called “Custom DNS” or “DNS Settings.”
- Enable custom DNS and set the primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4 (these are Google’s public DNS servers).
- Save the settings and restart your router.
2. Restart Your Android Device and the Cowboy Channel Plus App:
- After the router restart, reboot your Android device.
- Open the app again and check if the stream improves.

This DNS change helps because it sometimes circumvents routing problems Starlink has with certain services. If you want, I can guide you through the process step-by-step.

If this still doesn’t fix the feed, the issue may also be on Cowboy Channel’s server side, as there have been server interruptions reported on their end at times. I can help check if there’s an ongoing server issue as well.

Please let me know if you want to try the DNS change or if you'd like me to verify server status for you!

Please verify server status. Haven't had this trouble before.

Thanks for your patience! I checked the latest updates regarding Cowboy Channel Plus server status. There are some reports in the past where users experienced server outages and streaming interruptions, but I don’t see a current widespread server outage announced by Cowboy Channel Plus. Their support page suggests the usual steps like restarting the device and app to fix streaming problems1.

Also, there was a Facebook post from mid-2024 acknowledging some users had issues with the app and that their team was actively working to resolve them7. However, nothing recent about a current outage impacting the San Antonio Rodeo feed specifically.

Since you’ve confirmed your internet is solid with Starlink, and the problem has persisted through a couple of events, it could be a localized app or network routing issue possibly tied to Starlink’s service.

At this point, trying the custom DNS change on your Starlink router I mentioned earlier could still be the best next step. If you'd like, I can walk you through that process or assist with any other troubleshooting.

Would you like me to help you set up the custom DNS on your Starlink router now?

No. But thanks

Hey! You’re asking about troubleshooting tips for the Cowboy Channel Plus app on your Android device. Here are some straightforward steps that usually help resolve most streaming issues:
