Thanks @user_6rc9w6 for reaching out on our Xfinity Community forums!

If the buffering is only occurring on ESPN channels, that can help narrow down where the issue may be occurring.

As a few quick self-help steps, try refreshing the TV Box, restarting any streaming device you're using, and checking whether the same buffering occurs on both live ESPN content and ESPN On Demand content.

Can you also let us know what types of devices you're watching on when this happens? For example, is it occurring on an X1 TV Box, Xumo Stream Box, smart TV, Roku, or another device? It would also be helpful to know whether the device is connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and if all devices are experiencing the same behavior at the same time.

Those details can help point us in the right direction and determine whether we're looking at a connection issue, device-specific issue, or something isolated to the ESPN channels themselves.
