For Those Without ESPN 3 or WatchESPN Access

[slick1ru2]

I have the latest version of Flash installed on my PC. No matter what I do the audio ends up getting behind by a few seconds. I don't have this issue on my Macbook air. Not sure what the issue is. 

Sounds like a memory issue. How old is this PC? RAM? Why don't you just do the offer and get a free Roku Stick? I know it runs fine on those. I have it on two older Rokus.

I'm doing something slightly different. I've got the basic slingTV account, but only so I can have access to WatchESPN. I'm using USTVNow as my main provider. The subscription I have allows 3 rokus to use the same account and it has unlimited DVR capabilities. It also gives me access to the main broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.

I use an OTA for locals. Plus there are apps and Hulu Plus for recent run TV shows. And isn't USTVNow only for those living outside the US? From their homepage: 

 

 

TV for U.S. Military Service Members and Americans Abroad. Watch and record U.S. TV shows & movies over the Internet with no commitments, cancel online anytime

.

From their FAQ.

USTVNow is intended as a free service exclusively for Americans living overseas. We do not delete anything from the original broadcast, cable or satellite TV feeds streamed to users, including commercials. USTVNow also offers a paid service with additional channels and DVR capability. The service in the continental U.S.A. is available as a TV anywhere service in combination with a regular cable subscription from USTVNow cable partners.

I'm using the paid service.

I built it last year 8 Gb Ram, i5, GTX770.   Sling works great everywhere but my PC. I did the offer for the free Kindle Fire stick for signing up for three months. Works great on my tv.

i remember this when I tried to register, I guess it changed.

I am an American citizen (by birth or naturalization) and hold a United States passport or ‘Green Card’ for permanent residence. I understand that USTVNow’s Internet content is available, at this time, only to US citizens and residents while they are in foreign countries. I promise and warrant that my use of USTVNow is and will be consistent with this limitation.

Anyway, I'm getting a channel master DVR for OTA, Sling allows you to go back and view the last couple days content on some channels. It has a 2 week channel guide that updates for free and they are adding streaming channels to it, the first being YouTube and Pandora. http://www.channelmaster.com/Antenna_DVR_s/336.htm

I have problems watching HBO Now on the latest version of Firefox, the screen flickers black. None with Chrome. It could be a display driver issue, contact their technical support. But I do like having an iPad because it's one set of hardware and none of the issues you see with Windows computers and drivers/hardware not being truly up to specs.
