re: Who else learned to love espn3 today?

while i don't mind ESPN3, i would much rather them have a channel dedicated that will play regional coverage. If i live in Baton Rouge, show me the Baton Rouge regional only and so forth.
ESPN3 should be for people that don't live near their home team.
Why the hell would anyone outside of alabama want to watch Bama and Troy play on ESPNU? Do the regional coverage thing, like they used to do for the basketball tournament.
I used to like watching the the CBS sports feeds for the tournament before they wised up and put every game on TV.
I know they can't do that for baseball b/c it's not popular enough, but at least do the regional thing on a certain channel, like ESPNU.

How much does espn3 cost?

Most cable and satellite providers, it is a free add-on.

You can't subscribe directly to ESPN 3, at least not yet to the best of my knowledge.

The espn xbox app is really great. Full HD quality stream and tons of content to choose from. If you have cable TV service as well you can also watch anything that's on espn, espn2, espnU, and espn3 through the same interface.

Espn3 performs almost as well on the mobile app as it does on any decent laptop. If you are having trouble with the app, it's likely an issue with your cellular Internet speeds.

Now, if you try to stream from a mobile device to a larger tv, you might run into processing problems.

All in all, espn3 is a great product. Anyone complaining likely has a shitty Internet connection.

If the game looked great on your laptop but not your tv, look at your picture/zoom setting and make sure you're on natural or something that sounds close.

That said, you could have a tv with a slow response time, so it isn't handling the streaming well.

Had it on my Xbox....man was it the shite.

Same here. I used my 360, and watched it on a 60 in. No lagging, HD was good. I enjoyed it! The commentator guys are pretty lame tho.

I think it's great. I watched the game driving back from Destin yesterday. The commentators, the color guy in particular, sucked. He kept repeating the same shite all game about Eades bad day and the injuries.

Us poor folks thinks it sucks as we can't get espn3 on tv. And don't have an x-box or lab top.

If you have an iPhone, you can download the app

Watched it through my Xbox it was HD and awesome, watched four or five games near their ending. The Oregon state walk off was cool

This is fairly simple. To get a decent viewing experience of an HD stream, you need at minimum 5-7 Mbps (bits, not bytes). If you test your connection with dslreports.com or other speedtester and don't get this regularly, you picture won't be good. And, if your Aunt Margie is downloading or streaming music or Uncle Perv is watching porn, factor that in...
