The CBS app for streaming the Super Bowl is crashing and burning
Trying to stream the Super Bowl? Having a hard time? Us too.
Sadly, we're not alone.
A quick Twitter search of "CBS app" yields dozens of angry responses:
The problem is seemingly happening across a variety of different platforms, from Apple TV to Roku 3 to Xbox One.
I'm watching the Super Bowl with friends on an Xbox One using the CBS Sports app, and it's near impossible. The service cuts out every few minutes (if not more frequently), and skips around - sometimes it skips back to where we left off, and sometimes it jumps ahead.
Worse, viewers have to re-watch the standard advertisements that play on launching any new video. Over and over over. It's not the best!
Thankfully, this isn't the case for everyone, and is seemingly getting better as the game goes on.
