Roku question

[L4Dawg]

I just got it today. It works for me on everything but the ESPN app. The video there is jerky/skippy. It's unwatchable. It's fine on my computer. It's not a bandwidth thing with my internet. We pull around 45, which should be more than fine for 1080 video. Any ideas?

I have a Firestick. At times it seems that logging in and then logging out and logging back in provides better results. I really like the Firestick BTW

I have gigabyte internet and it does the same thing for me. I haven’t found a solution

That works, for 20 seconds.

1st time I've see it to this jerky thing on my Roku. I think it may be an app issue or something. I have 100 MBPS

Have ATT wifi works for me...cast it on the tv

I have a Roku, and usually when that happens I can back out and reload ESPN and it works OK. You don't really have to sign out, just hit the Back button on Roku. I have no idea why it does that ... I suppose you just get a bad connection on occasion.

You'll have to sign in again every few months, but when you need to it'll tell you that you're not authorized to view ESPN.

Mine's fine tonight. In fact, the picure seems higher quality than usual.

 

[RocketDawg]

I shouldn't have said anything. Mine's jerky now.

I own 3 Rokus. And will never buy one again. If it works like it supposed to, it would be a great investment. But mine are always glitchy and messing up on me.

My Roku is doing the same thing. Can’t come up with a solution. iPad works fine. Somebody find a good solution and post it. It’s not throughput/bandwidth

I have both a Roku and fire stick. I despise the fire stick. I have to unplug it and plug it back in about three times every time I turn it on

I have 100 mbs and I have watched every game on my roku thus far, and tonight it was jerking all over the place, so I'm glad it wasn't just me.

 

[Blldawg87]

Yea, overall Roku is great. This is the 1st time I've seen this in 6 months running 3 Roku Sticks.

 

[L4Dawg]

Glad it wasn't just me and that this isn't normal. I really liked what I saw initially, lots of free content that is right up my alley , but I bought it to put ESPN+ on my big screen.

Mine was jerky tonight too, and that’s not the norm. It’s not just you.

Watch ESPN is what sucks on Roku. I can watch Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, Showtime Anytime, ..... flawlessly on my Roku. How can ever other channel be perfect and Watch ESPN suck so much?

 

[Sundawg1974]

What’s really great is the commercials are perfectly fine, just the game is messed up. Good job, espn

I had the same issue. Everything was jerky except for the commercials. They were silky smooth. Eventually there was an update that cured it. But I couldn't watch ESPN on my Roku for like 6 weeks.

Peculiar thing.....have a Roku account and stream to my tv with the device....never have any problems...been using for over three years. A puzzle to me why others are having issue.

Have internet through ATT since 2014 and its the best service I have ever had....guess I had better thank my lucky stars....

I've got an Apple TV and Fire stick running on AT&T U-verse broadband ... 9 times out of 10 it runs like a sewing machine. Every once in a while during football season it'll act up a little with video quality that's not as good, etc. Sometimes restarting the app helps, sometimes it doesn't. When it gets that way it seems to have the same effect on Apple TV and Fire stick, to where I think it's on ESPN's end as opposed to AT&T's. FWIW, I live in Oxford and have U-verse ... used to live in Madison and had Comcast, and my gosh it amazes me how bad an experience I had for years with Comcast - it was a caricature of dealing with a cable company. Insanely bad customer service to where I prayed it kept working and my bill didn't do something wonky so I wouldn't have to deal with them. U-verse has been a breath of fresh air by comparison - good, reliable service that costs almost $100/month less than I used to pay Comcast.
