Proababy more users on the service during those time frames?
Maybe more people at home around your negiborhood. Cable ISP servcies is effected by more people on a cable line system.
Need to verify that your modem is bridged if possible or use the DMZ for the Orbi if you want to run the Orbi in router mode.
You might try using the ISP modem in router mode and configure the Orbi for AP mode and see if you notice same time frames when the streaming services are working or not.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll give them a try. Had the same questions regarding neighborhood traffic, but other streaming services (Netflix and Amazon) run perfectly fine during the times I have buffering issues with VidAngel.
