Can I stream multiple games through the WatchESPN app on different devices? I wasn't sure if their log in allowed this or not. We may be having people over this weekend and I was going to bring a second TV to the living room. My main TV has a FireStick and this one has a Roku.

Same. Not sure if there is a limit but I usually have 3 going at once via chromecasts.

I've read somewhere that there is a limit of like 4 or 5 devices before it starts logging you off of the others but I've never tested it to see if it's true.

This completely depends on your subscription provider. If you have a subscription through SlingTV, it only allows one stream of ESPN at a time. If you log into a new device, it disconnects the previous device. However, if you have a cable provider, you can likely get more streams, I know at least 3 worked when I had Cox. I have a desk set up with 5 monitors and would have four of them tuned to college football; 3 of them through WatchESPN and another through CBS with a TV tuner.

Which blows my mind. How come Playstation Vue allows multiple streams but SlingTV does not?

Thanks everyone. I have a Comcast/Xfinity log in. I may try it out tonight just to see before I go moving TV's around.

I have always wondered why you can't do the 4 way split like you can on a computer with any streaming devices

Nope. And it's literally an acct I set up just to be a Good Samaritan and allow td users who otherwise couldn't stream the season opener to be able to view.
