For those thinking about ESPN+...
Take a look at the layout and some of the offerings from ESPN+ for those who may not have signed up yet.
I'd say it's worth it as a big sports fan. And if you'd like a good way to watch the App vs GW game this Saturday!

Also, I note that this will be the first ESPN+ broadcast from our stadium so I'm expecting good things since the UNCC broadcast wasn't very good.

Hope it is better than UNCC. Since I have to be stuck at a wedding.

Oh man, gotta love weddings during football season!
I know the vantage point will be better because of the height of our stadium compared to theirs but I fully expect our coverage to blow theirs out of the water in general too!

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
I watched it on my IPad and the picture was great. I can't get it to stream on my TV though. I opened the app on my tv and it asked for me to log into my device and add the code but it still didn't work.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
Worked fine on Roku. Watched Charlotte game. Broadcast was a dumpster fire and volume was horrible. Hope that was on UNCC. Looking for better quality this week.

Even just GW game that will be a blowout is still better than a wedding.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
Hated that UNCC's press box was so closed in, like the crowd noise during a broadcast.
This was watching the replay after being there, I know it was pretty loud at times in that stadium and couldn't really hear anything on the broadcast.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
I have also had satisfactory experience with it (the ESPN app) with Roku. I have watched several games and one thing I have noticed is the broadcast volume is unusually low, so I turn it up. Then when the commercials play it's really loud, so I turn it down. Nonetheless, very pleased so far with what $4.99 per month is delivering.
Note, on Roku it's titled ESPN app...not ESPN+. I had to google that piece of information.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
I experience the exact same thing with volume. I started watching the WCU/GW game replay last night and the announcers are really low volume and then an explosion of sound when the commercials start. It's pretty annoying but I just know to have the remote in hand when taking in games.CVAPP wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:46 amI have also had satisfactory experience with it (the ESPN app) with Roku.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
For those with the technology, ESPN+ streams in 4K if the event you're watching is being broadcast/recorded in UHD. It has been very noticeable on my McBook and on our 4k UHD TV we've streamed CFL games.
We are a ways from having App State games shot with 4k UHD equipment, but other sporting events are certainly available in the ultra high def.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
Didn't know about the 4k! I don't have a 4k tv though so not a big loss for me right now. I'm sure it still looks better than what we saw 2 weeks ago from that Charlotte broadcast! hahaMtnDevil95 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 4:17 pmFor those with the technology, ESPN+ streams in 4K if the event you're watching is being broadcast/recorded in UHD.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
This auto or so you have to choose the definition? Didn’t notice on the UNCC game but probably couldn’t on that quality.MtnDevil95 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 4:17 pmFor those with the technology, ESPN+ streams in 4K if the event you're watching is being broadcast/recorded in UHD.

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
I'm assuming it's auto. I think that's how Netflix works as well. Although I think that in the options you can downgrade the stream in order to not have any drop off, in the case of a weaker connection/loading issues.biggie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 6:47 pmThis auto or so you have to choose the definition?

Re: For those thinking about ESPN+...
That's my understanding, the image quality is auto set based on the recording, broadcasting equipment (TSN in Canada uses 4k cameras and equipment, UNCC most definitely does not) and your individual bandwidth capabilities.
