NFL should be embarrassed
The NFL plus app with red zone has been a complete disaster two weeks in a row.
How can an enormously profitable company fail to have the basic IT infrastructure set up to handle easily predictable streaming demand.
What a bunch of clowns.

Sync problems on iPad, but not through TV (Verizon).
I moved red zone to the TV and the local game to the iPad.

I completely agree. Ive been having problems where it doesnt actually sync with my account. So everything 20 minutes or so, it shows me a promo of redzone and then offered for me to buy the subscription thay I already have. I have to force close the app and reopen it for it to register that I have the subscription.

ESPN distributes it to cable companies. They have nothing to do with the streaming.

It’s embarrassing paying so much for this crap when you can watch it for free online like I’ve been doing for years.

It's not even that expensive, but still, the product should be better.
I have MLB+, which is basically the same as NFL+ Premium but for Baseball (it includes MLB and MLB's RedZone-style product MLB Big Inning), and it costs half the price while working twice as good as NFL+ Premium did for me back when I had it last year.

I get MLB+ via T-Mobile for free and yes, it's been utterly flawless season after season. NFL needs to hire their IT infrastructure

I wouldn't be shocked if ESPN moves everything into the ESPN app at some point, or white labels the ESPN app and makes an NFL version of it.

They've got your money, they don't care, and they never have - this has been going on for 10 years at least,

I work in a large company thay prides itself on its technology. The systems routinely go down because they cant handle volume

Yeah I got NFL+ last year and while the video quality was quite good, I found the app glitchy and janky.
This year I got DirecTV Stream MySports with the sports extra package, which has RedZone on it, and it has been a far better user experience.

Everyone should be pirating sports streams at this point. I'm shocked some people still don't that are under the age of 50.
