Anyone try watching anything on Flo that they are getting from BTN+. It seems to be very choppy. Freezes, then unfreezes, then freezes again. It was like that was the Michigan match tonight and the PSU hoops game on Tuesday. Anyone else having issues? Seems to occur on all of my devices. Even the replay of the hoops game is choppy. Non BTN+ things work fine
Flo and BTN+ issues

Yes, the UNC Michigan match was a nightmare. Don't know if it was a Flo or BTN issue, but it was frustrating. Choppy as hell.
I will concur about choppy. Hardly a leg attack that wasn't split in two parts. Fun dual, though.
Flo on Fire tv was no different. Is this the "Willie curse'? Guess I might have to pay for BTN as well as Flo again this year. Shouldn't have to be that way.
We've been complaining about Flo feeds since the 2012 Scuffle.
6+ friggin' years.
Just get BTN+ and keep an eye on ESPN3.
Don't pay for broken promises. Over and over and over again.
dont believe ive ever posted on her but mine was terrible lagged every 5 seconds. was not happy. was unwatchable. glad it wasnt just me resetting my internet and still not getting it, but flow needs to fix problems like this if they ever plan on all of us resubbing. i like the content the wrestlers/technique is great but that was a Sh** show
Who keeps their promise first: Flo fixes their feeds or Foley comments about Olympic ref corruption?
Between them it's a race to the bottom.
One wonders how much mileage Floreani will get out of that ‘earned the right to fail’ Tweet. It appears to be infinitely applicable...
I'll jump on the bitching about Flo train. It's really starting to aggravate me that Flo is a pay site but you still have to watch a 15 second add before you can watch any content. That's the shit free sites do, not pay sites!
Yes, we do. Original feed is from BTN Plus and it worked fine.
I’m going to wait this shit out about a decade before the bugs are fixed. Don’t need the aggravation.

Interesting. I always thought Flo was the same. My Flo subscription up in December. Maybe I won’t renew and just do the BTN+ since no scuffle this year
I've bought FLO for years without a big problem. One thing I've noticed while watching matches is that the browser chrome seems to work best. And I have a 200MBPS connection, so there's that.
Flo is just receiving the stream from BTN+ so if there was a problem with Flo it is whatever Flo did or didn't do. I get both and will say Flo is WAY better then they used to be. There must have been some problem with the way they were receiving the feed from BTN+.
I have both also and I rarely have a problem with BTN+. Flo I sometimes have issues with, but not nearly as often as others.
So I went to Flo and watched a replay of one match and the feed was as choppy as it was originally. So something on their end does not handle the transmission of the feed. A tech should be able to troubleshoot this and fix it. If not, I am done with Flo (after six years). I don't want to deal with this during an important match. FYI, I watch on Apple TV but I also checked on my Chromebox and the issue was identical.
I too watch most if not all on Apple TV. Does BTN+ have an app on Apple TV or would I have to airplay it to watch on TV?
Considering he got pushed out of the company a while ago, don't wonder too much.
thx. Just downloaded it. I’ll see how Flo does in next couple weeks and then make a decision
I don't know if you're serious or not. I literally have to watch a 15 second ad when I click on any video. I watch most content/short videos on my phone.
Completely serious. I never have to watch ads. What browser are you using and are you running an ad blocker? I use Chrome and run Adblock Plus and never watch an ad.
Had that problem while watching the bball game Saturday. No problems during hockey or WVB that evening.
I've used only BTN+ for the past several years (other than what's on cable: BTN, FS1, ESPN/ESPN3). I broke down this year and got Flo. For $12.50 / month (I'll only subscribe through Feb or Mar.) I get more than I got on BTN+ for ~$10.00/month (I only signed up for PSU events as it was cheaper and I don't have that much time). I watched all of our guys at the Clarion open last week and PSU and tOSU matches today -- with no issues.
Once I got the feed with Lee up 15-3.....everything was smooth afterwards....as usual. Usually have had no problem with FLO the last couple of years. Not certain why I wasn't getting a feed before then......but very clear once I started. Ohio State-Stanford was perfect throughout. I Will continue being a year-long customer …...even though my favorite ...Willie....is gone 
There are so many factors that come into play with streaming. I once had a huge problem with HBONow through my Samsung TV software, and have had no issues once I switched to Apple TV. There may be an issue sometimes with the BTN+/Flo hand off and streaming through PCs is always a victim of the PC software.But I subscribe to Flo for other matches that are not BIG. And most times, everything works well. All in all I think Flo is a good product and seems to be getting gradually better.

Are we allowed to have threads that are complimentary toward Flo's streaming? Where the worst complaint is it crapped out during intermission?
