Signed up today. All channels stream flawlessly. For some reason I can't stream on my laptop but I'm using my tablet until it becomes available on Chromecast later this year. In addition with Charter Spectrum I can't complain. Their internet is really good!

For the first month and then it stops/starts/stops repeatedly. Constant errors and sometimes no content plays while a purple screen with HDCP unauthorized content disabled showing.

Sometimes you'll get an unauthorized use error but I've only had that using Chrome. With IE it works every time.

Internet Explorer? I thought you could only stream it through the app on PC?

TNT CNN IFC ESPN/2 AMC plus 15 other channels. Those 5 are the only channels I watch. An extra 5 bucks and you get the sports package including SECN.

I tried it and had to restart every 30-45 min because the audio would get out of sync. Couldn't stand it.

Correct. I had the app last week for SEC alt., the app didn't carry that but I could log into espn3.com and watch the game anyway.

Don't know how the app will work but will soon find out.

i like it so far. the one tv at a time thing is a bit annoying - it would be nice if they gave you two streams at a time (especially during football season). a huge plus that you get the watchESPN app access with your subscription but you can't say stream the SEC network on Sling TV on one set and pull up watchESPN on another.

Shut up. And you don't need to already have cable or anything?

nope. no cable service needed.

$25 for SlingTV + $5 Sports package.
you can stream ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPNU, SECN, SECN+.

which also means you have a full Watch ESPN account via Sling. Which is what I use to watch all the games.
