ESPN App

How often do you have to re-enter your TV subscription into the app? I watch on 3 devices. 2 Firesticks and a Roku. The longest I probably go between watching on any of the devices is 2 weeks. But it seems every 3 or 4 days, I’m having to enter my credentials in the App over again. I don’t have to do this with any other app. Does anyone else have this problem? It’s real 17’n annoying.

who's your TV provider? they can force the re-synch to all accounts periodically

The ESPN app is the most finicky streaming app I use. Nearly a 50-50 chance on the second time I click on our game. Guess I have to count my blessings I can watch a midweek non-SEC baseball game from NOLA.

About 3 times a year. At some point during the football, basketball, and baseball season. Directv is my provider.

Yes Google is forcing the resynch.

I re enter logins weekly.

The app never plays our game the first time I try either. Every time I have to close the app and reopen it.

It sucks

I had to re-synch (sign in again) at the start of baseball season, but I'd not used my Roku for a few months. At least one other app I have to sign in every time I use it. Provider is Dish.

Google is addressing password problems. So many users use the same password across different sites that they use for Google. Google TV uses that password so the TV providers like ESPN/Disney make them resynch often due to so many people using logins illegally to watch TV.

I don't really have a password to re-sign in. I get a message that tells me to go to a website, which gives me a 6 or 7 digit alpha/numeric code, then I have to sign into my Dish account, enter the code, and it allows access (the process might be slightly different). It doesn't happen very often with ESPN though - once every few months. I suppose it's to verify that I still have a provider account.

I have spectrum and had to reinstall 3 times a few weeks ago. It's been fine since but does suck in general.

ESPN is without a doubt the worst app available. I often have to re enter credentials, it constantly buffers and stops and I have to go back to the menu and choose the program again. It's the only app I have problems with
