    LGSteve To activate ESPN Plus open the ESPN app on your Roku device.  Go to settings.   Do not select choose TV provider.  Scroll down to my disney account.  Enter your email and password used for your Disney account and you should be logged into ESPN Plus.

I have both the Disney+ Bundle and a Dish Network account. I have reset, restarted , rebooted, uninstalled, unplugged, reinstalled, etc., and I can access ESPN on demand content for ONE PLAYBACK; after that, I have to go through the process ALL OVER AGAIN every time I want to watch any ESPN on demand content on my ROKU. I have also consulted a ROKU technical support advisor by chat and the suggested solution and end result are exactly the same - one playback followed by “Connection Error” on any subsequent attempt. What a drag!! I am tired of ROKU and ESPN assigning blame to one another, so I purchased an Onn 4k Pro Streaming Box from Walmart and I can now watch any and all ESPN on demand content I want whenever I want without fail. Goodbye, ROKU.

Yes. That happened to me after the reset, too, and I put it on the Issue Tracking thread I copied above. Also, it randomly loses connection to my internet provider and asks me to authenticate.

How is the channel/app selection on the Onn Box? Do they have a pretty good list of supported apps? I asked someone on recommendations for another streaming box on the tracking thread, and nobody had any recommendations. Functionally, how does it compare to Roku so far?

Thanks! 🙂
