Watch ESPN iPhone App - Unable to play video

I am trying out the new Watch ESPN app on iPhone and when clicking on Watch Now I get an error message stating "Access to this content requires a television subscription.  Please contact your TV proider to subscribe". Is there a seperate subscription required to watch on the ESPN app?

I will throw out a few points until ComcastJoe gets into the office on Monday.
Your home network must be using Comcast DNS settings, typically these days, 75.75.75.75 for primary and 75.75.76.76 for secondary.  The Adobe authenticaion doesn't seem to work on other DNS providers.
When you installed the app, the app would ask for your TV provider and then your primary Comcast logon and password.  This is the part that tells the app you are a ESPN subscriber on Comcast.  Once the authentication is setup, then authentication for the app is transparent.
If the above is all in place, then it could boil down to a code issue on your account that ComcastJoe can get fixed next business week.
There is a long extensive thread going on with many ESPN app issues and results, if you want to scroll through some of it.

    You can't play movies in iPhoto.  But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS.  Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

  • I am unable to play videos over cellular data in multiple apps

    For about a week and a half now, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube videos within their apps, will not play on my device.  They WILL play in the web browser, but not in the app itself.  
    Steps I've taken to rectify.
    1. Reset network settings - FAILED
    2. Removed apps and reinstalled - FAILED
    3. Restored phone and set up as new iphone - FAILED
    4. Called AT&T and had them resert my cellular signal - FAILED
    5. New SIM card - NEXT STEP
    Is anyone else seeing this issue as of late? 
    I am on an iPhone 5s with software version 7.1.1.
    7.9 GB of storage available on the device. 

    I'm having this same issue. The videos show their length and the preview. But once I hit the play button the video goes black and stops showing the length.
    The videos play normally within the YouTube app but not on safari or other apps.

  • Time Warner App How to play video to PS3?

    I have the Time Warner(TW) app on my 5th gen Touch. How can I play video from TW app into ps3? I have iMediashare app but the progamming available on that is not as complete as the TW app.
    What I am trying to do for example is watch an entire season of Homeland on my tv through PS3. I can watch it all on my Touch but cannot stream the video to the ps3. I know many will say go to Sony PS3 board but we are talking about Apple product and apps so thats why I am here. iMediashare WORKS (watching it right now) but again avail library is limited to 1 episode.
    Suggestions?

    Open both of them and arrange them onscreen so that you can see both.

  • IPhone 4 doesn't play video

    Ever since I updated to iOS 7 my phone has lag like I've never seen. All around the phone is slow now but it didn't bother me too much. What bothed me the most was that when my phone tries to play video from anywhere (YouTube, camera roll, email) it will play it in 1 or less fps as if I was just watching a slideshow. My brother has the same phone and same problem when he updated but I thought it was just his phone until I updated too.

    it seems the router is working fine. My laptop and my brother's phone is also working fine. So, why me?

  • Music purchased on iPhone is unable to play on Macbook pro.

    I purchased some music on my iPhone, recently and awhile back. Most of the songs are now starting to pop up on my Macbook pro as unable to play file because original fiile cannot be found. The songs are listed on my iTunes on my Mac but there is a symbol next to the song of an exclamation point.

    Sounds like the songs are not there anymore or the location of where your iTunes library points to has been changed.  You can redownload songs you have purchased by going to the Purchased link in iTunes Store.  You could also just do a search on your hard drive for the music and then change where your iTunes library is pointing to in order to play the files.
