I have an Amazon Fire TV that has never had any problems until today. Prime Video works fine, but there's a huge delay with Netflix and Disney+. I can't watch the premiere of the new season of The Mandalorian. I probably sound like a whiny child, but I just signed up for Disney+ again for this show. There's a delay from when I hit start to when it actually starts. Then it sort of stutters and stops and stutters and stops. Netflix works a little better, but not like it used it. There's about a 10 to 15-second delay from when I hit the button to when it reacts to my command. Any clue on how to fix it? My signal is good and my connections are good. Anything else I should try?
Start with Barryso's suggestions, and if those don't fix it, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the Disney+ and Netflix apps and make sure they're updated. I hope you find a fix soon.
It's fixed! Finally! I tried several solutions and I think I rushed the steps the first few times. You guys were right though. In the end I uninstalled the apps, then waited several minutes. Next I rebooted everything, then waited several minutes and prayed just in case it helped. Then I reinstalled the apps, allowed all updates, and bam, I'm watching sweet Baby Yoda.

You should ask for a refund and see what happens, Vaiger. My mom is obsessed with watching the New Year's Eve ball drop. Last year the cable cut out just when it hit the last few seconds, and she was furious. She contacted Comcast, and they gave her a $25 credit to her bill. I was surprised.
@Leot55, I'm glad you got it worked out in time to see Baby Yoda eat those eggs.
I'm so glad I found this post because I'm having issues too. We have a smart TV and we are having issues! I wonder if we can uninstall and reinstall preloaded apps. I hope so because I hate delays!
Some media players seem convenient in commercials until you buy the real thing. Application issues happen to me too, and it's sometimes frustrating that you would have to experience a lot of reinstalling to make it work again.
