So has anyone had any issues with streaming live sports?
I didn't have any trouble streaming live WatchESPN, but I did have the device lock up when leaving the app twice, both times after having the stream go for a good while. It was unresponsive, then went to home menu and scrolled through all crazy like, and I had to unplug it. Wondering if it was a processing power or overheating issue. I had some stutter with Plex, that I didn't have when using a Chromecast as well. Me thinks it's those apps being written for the Fire TV and not being optimized yet for a less powerful device. I sure hope so, because otherwise it is a great little device, and my wife finds it much easier to use than the lack of UI of the Chromecast.

That's exactly what it did. It buffered a couple of times in the UF/FSU game, and when I exited that after the game it froze up, then did the scrolling thing. I hit the home button on the remote a couple of times, and then it was locked up and nothing on the remote would change it. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, and it was fine. Played a couple of shows on Netflix for my daughter, and it never did that. It only seemed to be on WatchESPN and none of the other apps.
