I don't recall it being this bad last year but it's been "loading" constantly today. It plays the commerical it forces you to just fine and will play about 30 seconds of the game and then back to loading.
I've reset my router and unplugged the Roku to reset it and tested the the speed and it seems to be fine but the app still blows.

YES.

I’ve been having issues with it since the British Open in July.

Same thing, commercials load and play fine but the program takes forever to load, cuts in and out, and has awful quality. I emailed their support site. My fix right now is casting the matches from my laptop to my roku. Can probably do the same using a phone too.

At least Roku has Gold. XB1 needs to fix the NBCSN app.

I’ve always thought the nbc sports app streaming is horrible on my Apple TV compared to fox or espn in terms of picture quality. Gives me a headache

I was able to stream yesterday by hooking my laptop up to my TV, today not even the laptop stream was working well. Would play fine for 10 minutes then freeze. Switched to Fox Sports app on my Roku and watching Bundesliga in perfect quality with no issues.

I don’t know what the problem with NBC is, but there is definitely a problem. I posted on Roku subreddit and others are experiencing the same. NBC sucks.
