ESPN 3 & Xfinity Problem

Technology is wonderful - when it works. Cord-cutters take note.

I have watched sports online with ESPN for several years now. First they called it ESPN 360 and now it is ESPN 3 and you can watch at WatchESPN.com (oh what a clever URL). Briefly if your TV service provider (that is if you pay for TV) participates (that is pays ESPN) then you can watch ESPN's online services. Comcast/Xfinity started a few years ago.

So anyway last night I went to watch a Canadian Football League game (don't judge me!) and I got the message above. Of course there is no way to message anyone at ESPN and Comcast/Xfinity 'help' via Twitter is not much use either. I found things were working sometime in the second half.
