Question about ESPN 3

Posted: 2/3/2017 11:32:59 AM

I recently switch to AT&T U-verse, about the same time I started following our b-ball games on the Web. Unbelievably frustrating experience with buffering -- it's buffering more than I see live action.

Is it my connection or does ESPN3 suck? I honestly can't tell.

I'm guessing your connection. I have very few buffering issues....WHEN THE GAMES AREN'T BLACKED OUT!!!

That's a whole other point of frustration

With the ISP formerly known as TWC, I've had some buffering and picture quality issues. But those clear up if I back out of ESPN3 and come back in again. Sometimes it takes two or three tries.

Ditto. I will add that sometimes using my iphone is better than my ipad. Not clue why.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Same issues here. We moved in November. Old house was TWC and had few issues with ESPN3 and buffering. New house has ATT internet. I connect to ESPN3 via Roku and SlingTV. Buffering is awful and regular. I end up watching on my iPad via Verizon (no issues.)

It's your connection. We have middling AT&T DSL at home and the video is choppy. But if I tether through my T-Mobile phone, it is great.

I agree...I think the product is fine. It's just the insanity of blacking out games thru the WatchESPN app if you are logging in with a DirecTV account. There's no reason why you can watch a game in certain parts of Cbus, but in other parts it's blacked out. Zero reason for that. It's infuriating.

I don't watch through the UVerse app. I watch through the ESPN app and it seems to work better.
