I have Roku but I think it's a bandwidth issue with AT&T. What's your fix?

I had similar issues. My Roku worked fine with no buffering for Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, but WatchESPN would pause every 2 to 3 minutes. So, I knew it was not a bandwidth issue. And because WatchESPN worked fine on my PC on the same network, I knew it was not an issue with WatchESPN.

The 90% fix I found is this:

Using your original Roku remote from the home screen: Press Home Key 5 times, then rewind key 3 times, then fast forward key 2 times. This brings you to a hidden screen where you can select your download speed. Leave it on Auto but turn on Debugging then exit out. Now when you use WatchESPN you will see a Debug screen showing your download speed for about 30 seconds and then it goes away. I have found that leaving it in debug mode reduces the buffer error to about once and hour - still not great but much better. Please post here if it works for you.
