I had Spectrum traditional cable (not streaming) until recently. Got rid of it and now I use DirectTV Stream. It will freeze up on my phone and go to this (screenshot). On my tv it’s really choppy most times. Internet speed isn’t the problem. I use a Firestick 4k Max. It’s really frustrating. I’d pay to go back to cable right now, but Spectrum is only providing it for current cable customers, otherwise it’s strictly streaming.

My buddy’s ESPN+

Online stuff i won’t mention
Max app. NBA and NHL games are on it.
Good, it’s not just me. A little bit of intel: Xfinity dropped Bally Sports RSNs from their channel lineup so there’s been an uptick in new customers since DirecTV still has them. By no means a pass for the premiums we pay but it’s an explanation.

Max app, although I am not a big fan of the user interface.
I also use direct tv stream via the app on Roku tv and have had no issues.
It isn’t as good as the fuboTV app but sny did their thing with fubo and fubo dropped them. The wilpons still managing to make Mets fans lives difficult
YouTube tv
Fubo, Max and ESPN. I get ESPN free through Verizon airless. I cut the cord a few months ago and mad I didn’t do it sooner.
Sling TV orange. $40 a month, great quality, and I can record all NHL playoff games (except when they do abc/espn+, which one game was) up to 100 hours.
I use max and AirPlay it to my TV. The TV app itself suck
Max or espn app covers everything so far for me
I use directtv on the roku. My issue is it’s extremely behind!!😡 the ESPN app or nhl app sends me a notification that someone scored like 2 minutes before it happens on the tv….
I have sling, gets me tnt and espn for like 30 a month
Been using Hulu live tv for the playoffs. No issues for me at all
I used to use a Sling/ESPN combo but now I use Max.
I’m the idiot with cable here in NY
Honestly I use directTV stream and I’ve never encountered this problem. What isp do you have? I have Verizon Internet and T-Mobile/sprint cell
Can you use your direct tv to login to the ESPN app? I’m doing that but via a cable subscription.
unmentionable because, afaik there is literally no other way to watch in ROI.
Online there is a website:
aoierayefw.net (not actual site name, just figure out the code, it’s pretty easy)
Can get just about anything – it’s worked consistently for me when I’m at work and can’t stream.
HBO Max should be good for the rest of the playoffs.
Max and ESPN apps on my PlayStation 5, or on my phone if I’m out of the house
I have spectrum tv which includes the spectrum tv app which allows me to stream a lot of channels. Otherwise use espn+ that I got from a Disney plus subscription to watch games I missed out on
Im out of market and use fubo for my regular tv. So i have fubo espn+ and sling for the tnt games. Its a hassle for sure
TNT and Max
ESPN NY radio. Sean McDonough is awful and Ray Ferraro sounds like he has a di– marbles in his mouth when he talks.
I’ll listen to Sam and Dave.
