So I signed up for my free month trial which part way through the process turned into a 7 day free trial. Whatever.

I recorded an ESPN college basketball game this morning as an experiment. When I played it back, the highest quality I could get was 480p.

Basketball on a 60" TV in 480p.

I went through the settings and didn't see anything. Was this probably a one-off or am I missing something?

I'm watching from Google's Chrome browser on my desktop. My desktop is connected directly to my surround sound unit with HDMI. And the TV is also directly connected to the surround sound with HDMI. I don't have any problems streaming 1080 movies with this setup.

Outside of the 480 issue, everything else from frame rate to jumping forward through commercials was very good. Much better than my experience with the slider bar on the ESPN rewatch or my experience streaming live from an XFINITY account.

So I tried this from a different computer. From a windows 10 pc plugged into a 4k monitor with display port, I get 720.

From the old windows 7 desktop plugged into the surround sound with HDMI to the 60" TV, I only get 480p.

What a nuisance.

It is Windows 7 but it is certainly capable of supporting 1080/60 let alone 720/60. I did a speed test and got 90 Mbs on the Windows 7 machine. I'm using Chrome on both machines and both machines are up to date.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Would buying a chrome plugin likely make any difference?

I like the Windows 7 media center because I can DVR over the air broadcast and I have a remote that I can use to fast forward. The last time I checked, Windows 10 didn't support over the air recording with a remote for playback. But would going to Windows 10 but leaving the same HDMI hookups likely work?

Update:

Changing the settings on my computer from 1080 to 720 allowed me to watch youtube TV at 720 60. Weird, but I will take it.

I can’t tell the difference between YouTube and when I had traditional cable. I’m on a fiber connection though.

Good to know. I don't think my connection is an issue. ESPN will put up college basketball games on the rewatch page, after the game is over. Those are available without a subscription and I can stream them just fine.

But the ESPN live streaming through Xfinity was horrible. Not good advertising if they were hoping to entice me to get my own, legal, streaming service.

Now that ESPN owns Fox's old RSNs, any ideas on if they would be included in this package?

They don't own them yet and Comcast has been thinking of outbidding them, I believe. That said, I think the fox sports RSNs are already in this deal. They have almost all of the sports stuff other than NFL network/redzone.

Considering switching from Spectrum to lock in the $35 rate but with my current deal, I'd give up Redzone, Cinemax and HBO for 30ish dollars savings. That could be a lot more but I don't have another internet provider to switch to for less. I think my 'promotion' is going to run out in a month or two so dunno what to do

This is really working well for me and using even when I'm recording the same on my cable dvr. Calling monday and dumping my cable but not looking forward to what they bump my internet cost to. Luckily I have another internet option to play them against.
