Yep and no stupid ads. Also yes, no buffering, no playback issues, no lag. ESPN app is miles better. Also the replays and post match stuff has been good.
Great performance from the PC app via home WIFI. Had to break watching and I returned 2 hrs later used the replay stream and went seamlessly to the 51st minute. I was able to "rewind" the play with no buffering and move forward and backward at will. Sadly 2 Brits no Matteo Bonetti. Best $4.99 deal anywhere
As someone who doesn’t like Bonetti, I’m ok with it. He’ll be doing the broadcast games on network tv for ESPN.
So after a weekend of use, ESPN+ blows beIN out of the water. I watched a bunch of games and had zero issues. Games were super easy to find. This weeks preview show was pretty good too, it was just over 20 minutes. I saw that they already have a highlights show up as well, even though the last game for this round has yet to be played.
Yes if they keep this up ESPN+ is going to be an excellent value. Too bad they aren't doing the CL. I am not so sanguine about Turners set up and the B/R streaming looks sketch.
I noticed that the ESPN+ Serie A streams "snuck" in a couple of commercials immediately following the half and final whistles. I was spared the endless (it seems) run of half time commercial announcements. Seems like paying a monthly charge should save you from adverts. Regardless small price to pay, and the on off and mute buttons work so really no big complaint.
All the streaming apps do that, and since it's during half-time, I don't mind it, especially if it keeps the price down at $49.99 a year.
