1) What is the purpose of the SEC alternate channels if they are rarely used?



2) Bad audio, video, dropouts, and crashes on WatchESPN are so frequent that it's often frustrating to watch.

We shouldn't have to log out and reboot, etc.

3) The repetitive commercials on WatchESPN are pure torture.

Shouldn't SEC/ESPN make viewing games enjoyable for fans?

Talk about your first world problems. Maybe you should seek help?

Probably has something to do with finances or contracts and is not something I'm privy or knowledgeable about.

It was bad for the Tulane-LSU game and was not great during the LSU-Auburn game yesterday but it has been mostly fine the rest of the year and been fine today for me.

Yeah, they get old. Not much I can do about it. Oh well.

Agree, if the channel is there, they need to put more games on the tv channel

I'm not having any of those problems.

Maybe your internet sucks.

Meh. They are repetitive sure, but at least there aren't as many commercials (they don't take up as much time) as in other sports like Football (where it's really bad w/ commercials).

No issues for me. The commercials do get very old, but I'll listen to them to have access to all the games

1 and 3 have nothing to do with internet connectivity. My internet is at 50 mbps by the way.

The Tulane feed was the worse but other games have had issues too.

Not bitching but I guess everything on the rant is perceived that way.

I was having the same problems with lag and buffering! I broke down an invested in a more powerful router for about $150 and it has been beyond worth it. Every game I've streamed has come in 100% clear and lag free!!

It should be on real TV. At least CST.

It would be almost zero effort for someone at Cox to click a few times and display the same WatchESPN broadcast of the LSU games on one of the alt channels (at least for the local service area).

If I ever find myself working there I'll take of it for you guys.
