I subscribed for $2.99 a month to an international news channel site LiveNewsOn as I liked the visual quality when I used their free trial. I had to download a driver wzdu34 but now it seems my service is worse. Takes forever to load and when it does it constantly freezes with the little loading circle in the center of the video.

What do I need to do? There is a big green button and it looks I have to install more stuff. But do I really?

Also I subscribed on Chrome and when I pull up the same website on Firefox I get a window asking me to subscribe. Shouldn't I be able to watch using either browser?

I'm ready to cancel and just watch crappy video streaming on youtube for free.

The most reliable free news on the web is from
BBC World News


I cannot find anything posted about the website that you subscribe to, but it seems far too inexpensive to be a legitimate service. I suspect it will soon be shut down.

What device, PC or media player?

Wifi or wired?

Your link takes me to some site offering Fox News.

Legitimate paid sites should not buffer, it may something else.

I get youtube in HD and I am not doing anything special. By the way, I often see Fox news LIVE on YT.
Here's one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKzcwjOkwok

or just search for "fox news live" or try the site directly. http://www.foxnews.com/

There may be other ways to do what you want.

youtube constantly takes down Fox News streaming channels. The few that are left are crappy quality. I've seen the KMedia channels. I want full screen. I will call my ISP and ask about an upgrade. That might be the problem.

The problem is that you're trying to use pirate streams. These are never going to be high quality.

LiveNewsOn is excellent quality - when it works -- which is why I was willing to pay. Oddly, tonight it worked fine. Lots of international channels. Perhaps it can't handle a lot of traffic.
