Roku Problem

Ok, so I'm sure this has been asked before, but.... At home, plug Roku in, WatchESPN pops up, pick LSU game and bam there it is... Well the last two nights at work it wouldn't work at all. You can select the game, then it just sits on the "loading" screen and never loads...
Help please. I'd rather not watch on a computer I can barely hear or a phone I can barely see.(yes I know, just lucky to be even able to see it.)

so you can watch at home, but not at work? sounds like your work network may not allow the streaming.

I can watch on computer though. That's what confuses me. You can just barely hear it...
ETA: Netflix, HBOgo and Showtime whatever work perfectly fine on it...

Maybe its the app. Not sure why it works at home but not work though. Maybe ESPN.com is targeted specifically by your firewall. FYI I have a Roku and a Chromecast. Chromecasting from my phone is always better.

Maybe they block user agent strings from certain types of devices.

But like I said, works fine on work computer and even my phone if I'm on work wifi... I'd just rather watch it on a 37" I can hear and see...

My iPad struggles with watchespn app. But my roku runs it seemlessly.

Would they not block Netflix, HBOgo and Showtime anytime..? And the app loads, you can select the game, it loads to about 25% the goes back to ESPN home screen.

I believe you can stream to the Roku from your phone/laptop. Like a chromecast. There is a channel for that.

Thanks I'll look.. Never had this trouble before.

that or just connect the computer directly to the tv.

Try unplugging the device. We have to do that from time to time.

I've had problems with WatchESPN cutting out on me on my ipad(which gives the best picture), I just don't get why mostly every game on there is blocked. I've clicked on a few random tennis and soccer matches and they open right up. No baseball though.

I may try to reset the Roku(if there's a way. I'm taking my pre game dooker right now).

Followed instructions... Didn't work... Screw it.. Just have to scoot up close to the computer.
