I'll tell you this... There's a good chance that upgrading the hardware would fix the problem. If you have an older Fire Stick, and older Samsung TV, the processing in those devices could easily be causing some issues. However, more than likely, it's a data issue. Either a data issue into the house, or a data issue in the network you are connected to. If you are connecting to the same network with a phone, you can run a simple speed test and have an idea if in ideal conditions your data connection would be good enough to stream. There are also other factors to consider, the evening time is usually when there are a lot of devices connected to not just your network, but possibly other networks in your neighborhood as well, sometimes on the same frequencies or channels that you are using. Just lots to try and troubleshoot from a single question post. I'd start with checking to see if other devices can stream well in your location, then see about getting an open box TV from a local BBY store so that you could take it home and try it out, then bring it back with no loss to yourself or the store. After you establish that you do indeed need a new TV, start shopping, literally every new TV right now will have the same streaming capabilities, none of them more or less likely to see buffering issues. Good luck!
