Since we don’t get ESPN3 I can’t see today’s soccer match between Bayern-München and Hoffenheim, but I stumbled on the above (which lets one watch the game live, ostensibly) and decided to give it a try. The first thing I got when I opened it was a black screen with the words “Buffering Video” and a constant rotating circle. I gave up and uninstalled it. Anyone have any successful experience with this? Thanks Quasi ---

It doesn’t look like a tricky app. Could be you didn’t have a good connection, or problem on the server sending the stream. Could also be that accessing the content requires a $ subscription? What site were you trying to access the match from? ---

Since you’re looking for technical advice, I’ll move this to our advice forum, IMHO. **twickster** , Cafe Society moderator
