Hey guys I love the fact you can now watch espn events over 360 live, I have a nice hdtv so that helps add to the experience. They have every sport and have live sport events such as nba etc not sure if they have nfl live though. But mainly I was just wondering if anyone else on here watches espn on 360 now a lot?

My provider doesnt have espn like they want so I cannot watch live events. If I could watch live espn1, I would cancel my cable service. I only pay for cable for football, I suppose I would still need nfl network for thursday nights but we dont play any thursday nights.

Yes. The ESPN XBOX LIVE channel is awesome. I didn't think there would be that much content but it's cool. I have already watched an NBA game on the channel. It's pretty damn cool and works with Kinect.

It's the same deal with some ISP's and sites like Hulu. Some of these ISPs need to get off their backsides and get with the program.

If I understand correctly, it's an ISP issue not an ESPN issue. ISP has to open up a certain port on their routers to allow the kind of bandwidth ESPN 360 needs, but most ISPs don't want to because they don't want to give away bandwidth.

That's what I recall reading awhile back, anyway.

That is how I understand it as well. Has nothing to do with ESPN. It's an ISP problem.
