ESPN3/Roku help needed

[BBShox84]

Am hoping some of you tech smart shockers can help this tech challenged shocker.

Have tried to watch replays of both the Drake and Bradley games on ESPN3 (on laptop) and on Roku Watch ESPN. On the laptop, the game plays normally until commercial break, then reverts back to start of the game. Did this on both games.

Also, when trying to watch on Roku3, game plays normally for a while, then loses connection and has to be reset in order to start all over.

We live in an area not supported by Cox (yet we have to live with the %$#$ blackout), so these seem to be our only options to watch replays after listening to brilliant broadcast of Mike Kennedy.

Any insights or help would be greatly appreciated.

Watching espn3 on Firefox would do the starting over nonsense. Watching it with Explorer worked much better.

You are correct, I do attempt to watch on Firefox. Will try IE........thank you.

I've never had any problems with Google Chrome. For the Roku: 1. Are you connecting to your router via ethernet or wireless? 2. Who is your internet provider?

My parents live in the country and their provider doesn't give enough throughput to handle the WatchESPN app. When I visit we have to use Sprint's LTE on my phone for internet access to watch replays of the games.

have tried both wireless and ethernet for the roku with same results. Provider is pixius. Did not have this issue until this year. Worked fine last year. Am wondering if it might be the roku unit itself with an issue?

I had the same issues here in Branson. We live near the lake (not in town) and our internet service is poor at best. I started out on our home internet provider and the broadcast was starting over and then going clear to the end on most commercial breaks. I then switched to my cell phone hot spot and had the same experience.

I was using IE the whole time.

I'm thinking it had something to do with ESPN 3. We were blacked out here also so I had to watch the replay. This is the first game this season that I couldn't watch live......thanks Bradley.

I am the last person to be contacted about tech matters.

My audio/video guy strongly recommends cabled Roku over wireless Roku.
