Out of market, Can't get the games

Like a good number here, and thank you guys again, I am using Fox Now thru Xfinity.

I am in Maryland - certainly out of market. I have a Chromecast streaming device but I find it simpler to watch on the computer using my Xfinity account via FoxSports or FoxNow. I have noticed that FoxSports tends to put up the game at the last minute and FoxNow can be a little quirky in regards to logging in (as noted by others earlier).

FoxSports does put up the game at the last minute; however, I'll take it over not being able to watch the game at all.
 
Funny.... FoxNow on Roku works. Thanks for that one. FoxNow doesn't work on the smart TV...go figure.
 
Fox Sports is crap. buffered and lost game time 25-30 times during the game and had to restart the stream another 10-15 times. The second quarter and last 5 minutes of the third quarter were the only continuous game action we saw. The rest of the game we saw 20sec to 2 minutes then lost connections. We stream a lot of espn games, net flix, and tons of stuff and never have a glich including just before the game. I was actually keeping track of the number of buffering events until I was at 10 and we had only played 4 minutes. Also, the multiple promos for Seton Hall made a lot of sense in the Creighton / UConn game feed.

How can it be Fox Sports with the issue if I did not have any of the problems that you were having? (I am not being nasty but after 25+ years of software testing I know that if it is a problem with the app or Fox streaming connectivity, everyone would have the same issues.)
There are a few possibilities such as your Wi-Fi bandwidth, or your internet provider could be throttling your usage.
While I was watching the game using the Fox Sports channel on my Roku and having no issues, my wife is streaming The Sopranos on HBO MAX using an Xbox with no issues.
Sorry that you had such a bad time and I wish I could help you out...

@Centerstream, I have no idea why Fox doesn't work properly, but there are no other users in the house when these games are on, and I watch other games from other sources. In other threads #1ncfan, sno-cat, caseyb7, meyers7, Americonn, urshurak, jabstep, edsaid, chrissaran, and j66kicker, reported similar experiences to some extent or completely the same, and I suspect Kaizen because he/she 'liked' my post. We are not in the same locales with the same providers, so I suspect it has to have something to do with Fox. Would Spectrum purposefully slow my stream from just Fox?

First two games my feed glitched up 2-3 times each game. Tonight no problems at all (Fox Sports app through Roku, Cox cable/ISP, with some other light/medium Internet use going on in the house).
 
If you want to watch games live, as I do in Colorado, DirecTv offers a package that includes SNY.

I get SNY with my streaming provider, but I tried the Fox app as well and it worked flawlessly for me. I agree, I think the problem is most likely internet speed related for the OP.

My Fox was really bad last night. Constantly refreshing. I had my iPhone, iPad and Roku tv all on Fox Now and they all were constantly freezing and reloading. I’m beginning to wonder if it has something to do with my internet connection on Direct TV. So exasperating!

At this point, I would agree with you and @Centerstream, some (won't say most) of the issues may be to internet speed...at the source (meaning at ROKU, Smart TV, Apple TV...and any other streaming device you use). The download speed the internet provider says you're getting is not what you get at the streaming device. If your device is wi-fi it will be much lower, if you can connect with an Ethernet cable rather than wi-fi it will improve speed.

Found this link (Fox) below regarding Fox Sports app...very top regarding connection requirements. Within link there are other topics/Q&A on various other issues.

It says minimum required connection is 1Mpbs, for HD streaming 10Mbps. (this is common for all streaming apps...like Netflix, Disney+...etc)

.

If you don't know what download speed your streaming device is receiving whether wi-fi or Ethernet connected, the ROKU link below will get you there. For other streaming devices, not 100% sure, but you should also be able to find what speed your device is getting.

IF you have successfully gotten games out of market with any streaming device, please help. A lot of us can't get the games with SNY.

I have Fox Sports 1 via Comcast Infinity. At game time I go to UCONN Women;s Basketball website and select SCHEDULE. I page down to the game in question. Opposite of the opponent's name is "watch" (see below). I click on "watch." I am taken to Fox Sports' streaming of the game.

I was watching the game from Fox News Now, and I have to restart at least 4-5 times and relogin 2 times. Fox News Now is not very stable to me.

I live in Southern CA.

Did precisely that last night and got a goose egg in the form of their homepage and a schedule that did not have the game on it. Very deflating.
 
Under the heading "Lesser of two evils" I was able to watch the game last night on my pc on foxsports.com with no freezing or buffering as long as I kept the screen minimized. Unwatchable at full screen with the constant stoppages.

Fans outside of SNY’s market can watch the game on the Fox Sports App or https://www.foxsports.com/. Some fans said they were only able to access Saturday’s game via fox.com/sports or the Fox Sports Now app, though, so try that if needed.

At what time did you do this? Before tipoff? Can't do this before tipoff.

I have no idea what Fox News Now is so can't offer an opinion.
 
Thursday's game was glitch free using the fox sports app, on a SAMSUNG smart TV, with Spectrum as the internet provider in western Massachusetts. The fox sports app did mot mention the game being scheduled until about 1/2 hour before game time. There were a few times when the screen went entirely black with no sound. I finally realized that was "normal" for some commercials (ESPN used to have a message so you wouldn't panic) and it eventually came back without me missing anything; but the commercial. I was sorely tempted to reboot when this first happened; but I waited it out. Only happened about 2 or 3 times during the game.

The blackout thing is annoying and it happened three or four times last night on FoxSports app on Roku tv through Spectrum. I do not recall that happening during first two games, but perhaps it did. Seems as if there was a message during breaks first two games. But the game itself has been fine for all three events. Feel bad for those having issues.
 
.-.
And to add more confusion and disenchantment to the thread: on the Fox Sports app/channel using my Roku stick, tomorrow's game IS LISTED right now. And it was listed yesterday before the Creighton game was listed.
I wonder if it will disappear before tomorrow.
 
Fox Sports app on Xfinity in Boston has been the best streaming experience I've ever had.

I thought the black screen was bad connection so I restart the game 3-4 times ....LOL

What’s the cost please?

There are a lot of packages. You just ask them what sports package would include SNY. I have never been unable to watch UConn live.
 
Central Florida here.

We have a Samsung Smart TV. Installed Fox Now on our Apple TV menu. Game came up with no problem initially. Very good picture/ definition. Then the sound went. Reloaded and we had sound for maybe 2 minutes and it went out again.

We switched to YouTube TV. No problem at all.

The Xavier game was part of the original schedule put out by the Big East, the Creighton game was a last minute schedule change when Creighton had a game postponed. Meg had said something about in last nights game.
