With all the ways to stream ESPN content, why aren't the great films and docs they made in the early 00's available to watch?

Arizona blacked out

I lost a hockey team in Arizona, and I thought that would mean I would be free from all NHL blackout trouble and watch all hockey games. But no! I am now blacked out from TWO hockey teams as they are all trying to get TV control of the state of Arizona. Absolutely ridiculous

Subbed for MMF

I just signed up to watch MNF and paid 10.99 for it. Turns out the games aren’t actually available every week? This is so trash why would they advertise Monday games if you can’t actually stream them. This feels like a scam. Canceling after the Seahawks game tonight since the next available game is WEEK 7!

What am I doing wrong?

I have the app on my phone and tv and have yet to successfully be able to stream a hockey game this pre-season on either device. What am I paying for if I can’t stream hockey games that say they’re streaming on ESPN+ when I google it? I’ve deleted and redownloaded/re-logged into my devices numerous times with no luck. Is there some extension or issue with my account that I’m missing?

No commentary on ESPN+

Watching the Kentucky vs SC football game. Streaming ESPN+ through HULU live TV.

No commentary at all. Just game and press box.

Anyone experience this? All the other games streaming are fine.

Tennis buffering like crazy

For the past several days on both TVs US Open tennis has been buffering and breaking up. I have new AppleTVs and getting 300 plus down. It only happens on plus. No issues with any other app.

Maybe ESPN needs to buy more bandwidth out of Flushing Meadows!

Why is this match so blurry.

Watching on a new 75 inch tv through Apple TV and Roku and the picture looks 720p. There no option to increase resolution. Any help?

I Never Learn

I wonder how many times I've sat down and clicked on the espn app - then click plus - only to see monthly the subscription offer despite that I'm already a subscriber.

I don't care what technical nuance I'm missing because all I know is that i never have any issues with other streaming app subscriptions on my firetv. Just espn plus.

I'm watching the FA Cup today and am paying the full month subscription to do so and I'm presented with the liklihood of watching my $10.99 get flushed down the toilet.

Any way to filter sports in watch or in general?

I have my preferences set - I want to have non-preferences that I can set. Basically I’m tired of constantly scrolling past golf content to find something I’d actually want to watch. Should not be a difficult thing to do

Can someone tell me why I pay for an app that ruins the score of the game I’m about to sit down and watch?

I trying to say this in a way that doesn’t insist whoever runs the app needs to be fired immediately… but I can’t figure it out.

I’m already irked I have to have 10 streaming services but I buy another one to watch less common cup competitions in soccer… to my dismay, I pull up the app to find the game and the score line like a baby are put where the games should be. If I wanted score lines I wouldn’t have your app.

I honestly think I’m owed compensation for this. This is the one of the dumbest things I’ve ever experienced and it’s not acceptable. Nothing like waiting all week for a big game for a some broken minded nit wits to ruin it for me.

I’m just astounded and how this is possible… I need an explanation and a significant

Most people will just hack stuff like this now because it’s already a wild oligopoly of gaming rights that’s beyond rediculuos… I already pay for DVR cable to avoid this but now all the networks are burying the content in addition purchase apps. Then I brake on ethical boundary’s and economic ones out of my pocket and they still gut my like a dumpster fish…

It’s completely a pile of unethical BS. There’s no excuse that remotely makes sense here. And If the mods block or ban this I’ll cancel my subscription immediately… I’ve seen too little free speech with these issues being allowed to be discussed. Which is absolutely unacceptable as well.

App issues

I mostly use the app on my Xbox X and a lot this time of year for college baseball. Has anyone else had the issue lately, when trying to stream a game, it telling me that the channel is not part of the package? I have had the bundle for years now. So, I went to my iPhone and tried. A “re-authenticate” pop-up showed. Tried my iPad, it worked fine. The last time this happened (a couple weeks ago), I deleted the app on my Xbox and iPhone and re-downloaded, logged back in to ESPN…to YouTube TV… and I had no issue with it again since, until last night. Apps are all up-to-date. I have always had the issue with ESPN app not saving your credentials like their other bundle apps do but no one should have to be put through this every time they want to watch something. I just think of the people who may not be as tech savvy and how frustrating this must be for them.

I did the math: ESPN+ commercials are on average 11% -- and up to 26% -- louder on average than the broadcast

[Technical] Huge RAM usage in Chrome?

-Device: HTPC (3570K, GTX 970, 6 GB RAM) -Country: USA -Steps taken: ??

Trying to get an idea of where to start. ESPN+ for hockey uses a TON of RAM - a tab will get up to 12 GB after ONE period. Pause, create new tab, restart game in new tab, close old tab works, but is getting old fast. How do I stop ESPN+ from using so much RAM?

Why I cancelled ESPN+

I seriously doubt anyone cares, all evidence suggests not, but after paying for ESPN+ for years I just cancelled it because I got fed up with paying for it, authenticating properly, but still consistently getting denied access to ESPN+ content on their web page.

Why am I sharing this on Reddit? Because the only avenue for communicating this anywhere else limited me to one short sentence to a chat bot which no doubt sent the observation to /dev/null.

Content Subscriptions are a competitive business and ESPN has fumbled the ball in the end-zone.

Another Tiny Rant

Why the hell do we have to watch this stupid ESPN plus repeating commercial during commercial breaks that they haven’t sold. Haven’t we already paid for ESPN plus? Why do we have to watch a commercial for ESPN plus? Especially one that repeats every freaking 15 seconds.

Tiny Rant - Why is ESPN+ navigation so bad

Why does it require 42 clicks to get to the most recently played game of my favorite team? I really wish they had a UX designer on this application.

For the Love of God ESPN+ PLEASE play something different during commercial breaks

This happened hockey season 2022-23 and it's happening this hockey season 2023-24. Instead of commercials, you play the EXACT SAME Espn+ promo commercial with loud, abrasive music over and over again.

I would kill to watch regular commercials. Or, you know, just like every other service you could have a quiet banner ad.

I fall asleep watching ESPN+ sometimes and the amount of anxiety I have gotten hearing those exact same NOISY AND ABRASIVE, ESPN+ promos on repeat makes me want to quit the service.

And it's not just about sleeping. As I write this I had turned on ESPN+ to watch a game in the background while I play a videogame. And then I heard that grating, awful sound and commercial and I came here. "BUH BUH NUH NUH. 'LIVE SPORTS' BUH BUH 'ESPN ORIGINALS' BUH BUH ' THE EXCLUSIVE HOME OF THE COMPLETE 30 for 30 LIBRARY."

Please, for the love of god, if you don't have ads outside of Target to play and you have to put in your own filler, then play a bunch of brief 30 for 30 trailers (or, again, a quiet banner ad which consumers appreciate greatly e.g. baseball zen on MLB.tv). As I write this, I've heard the same ESPN+ commercial more than 5 times and it's driving me to madness.

Hey, btw. "LIVE SPORTS!"

Games are always blurry

It's amazing how low quality the streaming always is with ESPN+. Literally every game I watch goes blurry constantly. GB internet connection with 4k streaming on everything except ESPN+ live games. Yet the commercials are always in 4k.

For a giant conglomerate with billions of dollars, they clearly don't care about their customers at all. Otherwise they'd make improvements to fix this garbage.

It's beyond ridiculous to have games buffering, freezing, and streaming in extremely low quality with a service you pay for. There really should be a law against this crap, some kind of protection for the consumer that forces companies to give a damn.

Question about commercials

With ESPN+, are no commercials shown? Just the banner during the break? Mainly will use for NHL games.

Thanks!!

Trying to watch NHL games and every time there is a commercial break, the app freezes. I have to restart entirely. Watching on PC casting to TV via Chromecast. Anyone have any tips on how to fix this?
