Who’s having problems with NBC’s SHIT product?!?!

It’s not on my end. Bullshit when you consider people pay for this.

I should state that if it runs “Live” there’s no issue it runs at MAX Quality. If you try to run it behind the live feed it has all kinds of problems.

If you try to run it behind the live feed, I was 15 minutes late, it plays for about a minute and then freezes and reloads due to timeout. If you run live there’s NO issue.

Yep. Goes from perfect to freezing up then it looks like tv from the 70's. This is the only app or anything in the house that has weekly issues

Yep. I have Gigabit internet and consistently pull over 800 Mbit during peak times. I don’t have a single problem even with 4-5 people streaming 4K Netflix... Yet, when I’m the sole person in the house NBC Gold fucks up.

I would think it might be me if it wasn’t for the fact I’m a Software Engineer and can guarantee it’s not on my end.

Total crap. Every week I have bad picture then it randomly rewinds and a bunch of other glitches. Only on the app. I use Apple TV for everything else and zero problems

I purchased it today, worked good for me today. Only problem was my 18 year old was on the internet at the same time and I had to pull the dad card on him.

This is my second year on NBC Sports Gold and no issues. Only thing I need to do is use it in Firefox if I'm using a browser session - Chrome doesn't work. I'm all over the place when it comes to Internet access too. I've used my Droid phone Hotspot, home Internet, iPhone hotspot, and my work MiFi dedicated hotspot. Laptop, Phone app and tablet app. Not a single glitch.

Our internet was only running at 10Mbps today and I had NBC gold running on 2 TVs. Perfectly as it has all year (and last year).

I've noticed that other weeks when I tried to run it behind the live feed. Very frustrating. The last number of weeks I've watched the motos live without issue.

Mine has been good so far. Whats weird is my PS4 has the NBC sports app and plays all types of sports and has AMA motocross advertised but says no events planned. My ps4 browser plays it but not well even with zero issues with Netflix and Amazon etc. I just watch on my laptop or mirror my phone to TV and that works great.

I haven't had a single issue with it. I live in a large city area. I think it as to do with people Phone service or internet service.

How many people dealt with the weird time issues today?? Second 450 Moto said it started 30 minutes later than it actually did for me, and same with the second 250 Moto. Had to just skip an entire hour and pick up on the second 450 Moto when the 250 Moto started.

I know exactly what the OP is saying, if you are watching the race and want to back up, it freezes. Takes 1 to 5 minutes, but the whole broadcast stops. Has happened all year even in Supercross. Anyone who says otherwise probably doesn’t understand what the OP is referring to IMO.

It’s hard to understand when my stuff isn’t acting up. Sometimes it’ll have color lines in it for a few seconds but that’s just streaming in general.

Second 250 moto was watched in the evening. Several times it paused, had to be minimized, hit play or restart the whole show.

I loved the helicopter, but the locking up got old many races ago.

It's 5.xx Mbits per second, about a third of maximum DVD quality. A BD is 40 megabits per second.

Yeah, if I catch everything on time it is perfect. Or if I watch after the fact. I absolutely love the gold subscription and won’t watch it on TV now, also.

EE here and everything runs fine casting from Android. To be fair, I typically watch motocross later because I'm in san diego and the beach calls on Saturdays in the summer. However I've never had issues with the night program for supercross either.
