Contour Stream Player and Discovery Plus

I have a non-smart TV and watch Peacock as it is included in the Contour 2 cable set top box. Months ago, I subscribed to Discovery + as it is compatible with the Contour 2. But, I encountered incessant buffering which made the shows unwatchable. Now I see Cox offers a Contour Streaming Player. IF I resubscribed to the D+ and used the streaming player - on a non-smart TV without a commercial streaming device (Roku, etc) - would I be able to view D+ on my TV without encountering the buffer problem?

    A Smart TV only means the TV has Internet access.  How have you connected your Contour set-top box to the TV...HDMI, coaxial, RCA?

    What's the make and model of your TV set?

    It also depends on your internet connection. Such as the internet package you have, and the location of the panoramic modem required for the steamer box, just to name two things. Are you having any issues with any other wireless devices using the internet?
