I can watch/stream video easily from any other site with zero problems. WatchESPN freezes up literally several times per minute. Happens both at home and at work, and only on WatchESPN, no other site. Weird.

ETA: Also happens on Roku, again with WatchESPN only, no other channels.

Got tired of doing that. Tried it about 10 times per inning so far. No luck. If I get 15 seconds of video without it freezing, that's like crazy long.

I had problems since last year and only with baseball and on roku. My phone and ipad would work fine with the same internet connection. I gave up on it.

Try upgrading to non shitty internet. It would do wonders.

Unfortunately, not an option. Work uses Comcast and Comcast has an exclusive deal with the complex where I live, so it's Comcast or Comcast.

I did call Comcast to upgrade from the runny green diarrhea shite internet service to the big stinking turd with flies buzzing around it service, but that's the best they offer, so no more upgrade is possible.

I have the same issue on my ATV4. Speedtest on ATV4 says 45+ Mbps. Absolute zero issue streaming on any other app. I just believe ESPN guesses on how much they can support on their end and underestimate LSU baseball. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Yep, I don't get it. I've got all kinds of problems with the laptop. Switched to the cell phone and it's surprisingly crystal clear and glitch free.
