I can't get ESPN 3 on my new Samsung Smart Teevee!

[El Supremo]

I'll have to watch TCU vs. Gonzaga on my small screen computer.

I called Samsung and some foreign support center said that Samsung no longer supports Adobe Flash - only HTML5. And ESPN 3 (WatchESPN) is Flash.

I can't find an app for the TV or Comcast/Xfinity. Can any of you smart young computer/smart TV geeks help me?

1. do you have an HDMI port on your computer?

[El Supremo]

2. No.

But I don't want to move the computer (it is a laptop) over to my TV. The TV is picking up my wifi just fine.

[El Supremo]

3. Gonzaga is ahead 3 to 2 in the 6th.

Come on Frogs. Don't ease up because this is only the regionals at your home field.

4. Did you push the correct buttons on the remote??

[El Supremo]

7. What's a remote?

[madinmaryland]

9. Oh. Maybe you had the UHF channels selected rather than VHF.

Also, you might want to adjust your antenna.

[El Supremo]

11. My antenna works just fine...

for my FM radio.

[madinmaryland]

12. And pitchers having to bat works just fine...

for ALL of baseball!!

13. So why does the NCAA only use the DH?

BTW, nice flop by Ohio State today.

5. That tee vee ain't too smart, then, is it?

Why is it that the latest/greatest thing often doesn't do what we want?

[El Supremo]

6. You said it.

I blame it all on the Clintons!

[madinmaryland]

10. Nice post, Bernie!

[El Supremo]

8. TCU came back!

Now they sit out a game.

14. If you don't want to hook up a laptop might look at Roku or AppleTV

I think Roku and Apple TV support Watch ESPN. I have an old laptop with my LG Smart tv and have a remote mouse keyboard combo. It works great

You might look at a low end laptop or Winbook. Some those are darned cheap. . I have a Samsung TV as my main TV. I have always found the apps a bit klunky. Netflix works OK on both.

15. Best Buy was really hard selling their store brand TVs with Roku.

But I got a Samsung because of an agreement with Comcast in the works. I'm not sure how that will turn out. I also bought a remote keyboard/mouse and works pretty good. But the Samsung browser is rather poor. It won't even let me import my Firefox bookmarks. There are lots of apps with the TV and Comcast, but not any that have ESPN 3 - I think. There is some kind of Apple app. I'll check it out. Thanks.

16. My son installed a doohickey, a Google Chrome dongle thingy......on our Samsung TV.....

that allows one tab from the laptop to be wirelessly imported to the TV, while the laptop can independently do other things. The TV and the laptop can talk two rooms apart.

The Samsung browser is truly lousy and there is no apparent way to up grade it to something more powerful. Bummer.

[El Supremo]

17. Does that have something to do with syncing your browser with other devices?

I have never looked at that option with Firefox. Thanks.

[Brother Buzz]

18. It has everything to do with syncing

I'm a Firefox person, and perfer to use that browser on all the computers, but the laptop also has Chrome installed, and that's the system that performs the magic.

[El Supremo]

19. OK. I bought and installed a Google Chromecast today.

It doesn't work with Windows, but it works with Windows Chrome and my wife's Samsung Android tablet.

Watch ESPN is pretty jumpy on either. I don't know how to control the internet speed. It seems to be automatic. I guess my connection and/or modem wifi isn't the greatest.

The Android has a Watch ESPN app. It is easier to use than the laptop's Chrome.

I thought that I could now control my TV with the Android tablet. I don't see how.

Thanks again.
