Espn+

Which one do I buy.

Get the Roku Ultra. We just got it this summer to watch the Twins and it's been perfect. Our two-year old Firestick was really terrible.

Thanks. Plus I used Amazon Smile. TM will get some money from the purchase.

That's the one I use also.

I can't even find the WatchESPN app on my Roku anymore. Looks like all ESPN video goes through the ESPN app there now.

ESPN integrated it into their regular app a while back. ESPN+ app? I don't believe that ever existed as everything is available in the ESPN app.

I've always used my Chromecast with WatchESPN because it's search feature was better than the Rokus. Didn't notice it when Roku killed the app but it's gone now and all integrated into the ESPN app along with the ESPN+ content. Search feature still looks non existent though.

I've had generally the opposite experience. The app UI has generally been better on Firestick compared to Roku. Some of the reason is Amazon is a lot more open with it's technology than Roku (per a friend who is an engineer at Roku). My Roku has worked just fine, but I prefer the app UI on the Firestick better. I recommend getting at least one of each and determining which one you like best.

I've always used the ESPN app on my phone or tablet to connect directly to my Chromecast, works pretty easy, and I like easy.

With the bigger nationally televised games I've had issues streaming. Cuts out, poor picture quality, etc. Not sure if it's the app, ESPN, my internet connection, or just the fact so many people are streaming a particular game (MNF, larger college games, things like that).

Huh, that's odd. If other games on ESPN+ are OK, that kind of sounds like some big ISP decided to throttle the connection.

Seems like all the Bison games I've watched have been fine for the most part. From what I remember anyway.

Just a reminder to all that you are generally best off to hard wire your streaming connections for optimum performance, particularly if you have obstructions between your TV and router. It is not as hard as you may think; MoCA adapters work right through your cable lines and give the speed you need.
