...Goes to espn.com/activate. The website I never want to visit but I have to type it all the time. Surely I'm not the only one. Every time I want to watch a game on Roku with the ESPN app I have to re-authenticate. Why can't it remember I'm authorized 12 hours later? Why do I have to go to settings and log off and then log back on to the TV provider. Why can't I at least reauthorize from the warning message after spending several minutes finding the A&M baseball game, no I get to exit out go to settings, log out, login via /activate, then go and try to find the game again. Worst app I have ever used for video. ESPN, please just let YouTube take over your steaming app..

Nothing really new in that link. Surprisingly it claims it will last weeks or months. I have to re-authenticate everyday I use the stupid ESPN app, doesn't matter if I'm on Roku, my phone, or an iPad. Therefore the /activate website is now one of my top pages to visit.

Mine is funny. Sometimes it will go months without having to be reset. Then for weeks in a row it will have to be reset every single time. Very schizophrenic.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
