ESPN Streams Through X1 Box App Now Choppy
ESPN apparently changed their app in August and ever since, any stream I use through the xi6 box is choppy. I have watched NHL games through this same box with ESPN+ without issues for years and now with the new season it’s choppy and horrible.
I have 800 mbps internet and the box is connected by Ethernet so it isn’t a connection issue. Also, the ESPN app through the Apple TV box on the same TV, which is WIFI so not even hardwired, is buttery smooth.
I don’t see anyone else complaining about this but I can’t be the only one. Anyone else? Someone at Xfinity should be looking at this because it’s been 100% smooth for years so it’s a software not hardware issue.

Thanks for reaching out to us, we do apologize for any inconvenience you're having with streaming from your Xfinity X1 box. There's no known issues of any connection of streaming issues going with the Espn app on our X1 platform.
You may try and do a hard reset on your X1 cable box by unplugging the power source from the cable box for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
A hard reset does a firmware update so a lot of times that can fix the issues you're having with our X1 platform.
