I haven't been subbed to Hulu+Live for a while but the number of clicks to switch channels or jump back to previous ones was too damn high. It also was weird trying to get the guide organized
I don't mind the Hulu interface but I've been using it exclusively for years so it's probably just a familiarity thing. I don't use the channel guide. I find the category guide far easier to navigate.
If you are a Verizon Wireless customer you can get Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ free with certain plans.

I've had this issue in the past, with my firestick. I usually clear the cache and that works.
Once in a while, I have to restart my firestick. Now if I could only solve my issues with CF...

Those were the good old days. Push your tv button. Bam. Cyclone Basketball for free!!!!
Worse...in the Cedar Rapids market we used to get some of the games on a delayed broadcast after the 10:00 news!
this happened to me last night for the first time. We have lightning fast internet, great router with a booster for good measure and a brand new top dollar Roku stick. WTAF?
On a Thursday night you can go from ESPN+ to Fox Sports to Amazon Prime within the Hulu app?
Even with this set, it doesn't seem to work and buries the Iowa State games. Sometimes to the point that I have to use the search feature.
I have a firetv 3 hooked up to my OLED, gig internet with an orbi system that blankets my house with good wireless. Last night, the ESPN app would buffer after 30 seconds, then the stream would fail after two minutes. This happened about 8 times including after I force closed and cleared the cache. Eventually it just locked up.
I switched to the app on my phone, which was better, but still had somewhat frequent buffering.
Streaming the game under ESPN+ sucked but when I went under Hulu and watched. It was fine.

ESPN+ and Fox sports for sure but not Amazon Prime since it's not owned by Disney. Hulu is the best option for streaming sports, IMO.

Really disappointed that fans had so much trouble with the ESPN+. The only way I can watch ESPN+ on my LG smart TV is through HULU so I was lucky.
I watched the women's game at work on my computer and the mens game at home on my TV using a Google Chromecast. Both expereinces were fine. I am not thrilled with ESPN+ as our "home" but I have never had an issue with the technology (going way back to stuff being on ESPN3).
So all the sports content isn't in one place then. And that separation will only get worse when other streamers get involved, like many are saying is inevitable.
