It is unwatchable.

It ain't my modem, or my wifi, because I can stream all kinds of shite without issue.

I want somebody to tell me why this ESPN stream is so godawful. I want answers now. I seriously might kill somebody.

I had same problem. Try loading on your mobile device and casting to TV. That fixed issue for me.

My theory is ESPN wants you to think streaming is a subpar product to cable in their attempt to limit cable cutting. WatchESPN is garbage and they have to know and not care.

Watching on AppleTV and working well. Also worked on iPad.

I tend to have issues if I watch on Roku.

I'm watching on Samsung Galaxy and mirroring to my TV and this is the best picture I've had all year. Looks same as CST broadcast.

I have a roku on my patio and firestick in my living room. Firestick has always been better than the Roku. A couple years ago it was really bad. Might help to restart your router before the game.

Roku was starting to buffer, swapped it out with the Firestick lets see if it makes a difference.

I have no patience at all for that bullshite...I quickly shut it down and turned to SECN where the softball game is being shown.

I stream everything (cord cutter) and don't have any issues, aside from this app. Gonna run a cable from my router to FireTV tomorrow and see if I can just get a little extra juice.
