ESPN3 quality is proportional to how much crap I have running on my computer

available resources will definitely affect the quality, so will your internet connection. depends on what speed/Mbps internet package you are using and if you are connected wireless or straight ethernet connection.

Connection speed, computer resources, and wireless quality are all factors. I had to restart my laptop a couple times to get HD quality back. I think the player software ESPN uses sucks, too. I don't have this problem with MLB.tv with silverlight.

Was poor most of the game for me.

Will try the re-connect action tonight & see if that helps.

Was watching on PC with ATT high-speed Ethernet connection.

I am subscribed to a Watch ESPN provider and it was still crap for almost the whole game...refresh or not.

This is a poor, poor service that ESPN provides. Give me Jefferson Pilot or any other TV quality picture in the future.

Another reason to say that ESPN hates LSU.

My video during game action was mostly terrible, but the commercials were always crystal clear.

I tried your instructions and it still didn't work. Yes, I enabled the plugin and I can see previous shows but how do I play the live stream for an ongoing game?


When you click to get to Live streams and then click on an event, what error message do you?

Watch ESPN on my iPhone has gone to shite. I can't even watch the game. It will work for a minute then go black and close out on me. Restarted my phone 5 times yesterday to limited success

HDMI is the easiest if you have a plug on your laptop.

I don't know how to get to Live streams, apparently. I've tried going through Video ... add ons ... ESPN but that doesn't show anything other than prerecorded shows.

I've watched a bunch of games on ESPN3. Tonight is easily the worst quality I've seen. Most of the time it is really good.

iPad + Apple TV is money also. I was worried about the feed as this is my first time using Apple Airplay. I will not think twice in the future about using this setup
