ROKU stick and Watch ESPN

I have a Roku (4?) with cable internet, and it works like a champ on everything ... except WatchESPN.

Netflix, Amazon, and other channels stream smooth as silk, but ESPN buffers like a bitch.

I had hell with it trying to watch baseball last year. Switched over to my AppleTV, and the WatchESPN app on it worked like a champ.

I used the Roku to watch softball last weekend, and it worked fine, but baseball today was as you described it. Just like last year. Switched to AppleTv, and there was never a hiccup.

Same old shite as last year. I don't know if it is the fault of Roku or ESPN, but it just won't work for me.

If you want to watch LSU baseball, I suggest you get an AppleTV or maybe try some other streaming device that has WatchESPN.

I remember now that I had the problem last year as well and it's only when watching LSU baseball games. I reported the problem to ESPN and got an email back that they received my complaint but nothing else.

This morning I rebooted my Roku 2, deleted the ESPN Watch app, rebooted the Roku 2 and then re-added the app. I've watched the GA Tech and the FSU games with no issue. I'll give the LSU vs AF game a try.

Me Neither. Weird

I absolutely hate Roku sticks. I had one, and I gave it to my brother after buying a Roku Ultimate.
