Doesn't freeze for me. Have only had a problem twice this year due to the internet speed where the tour was that week.

not freezing here, but its EXTREEMLY boring to watch...

It's like watching a league bowl.  The "commentators" just talk talk talk about everything but the action on the screen.

can't stream it for more than 10 seconds at a time.  Screen freezes then goes black and I'm a paying member too.  Great way to keep customers, give them a crap product.

25 minutes of being frozen with constant refreshes and closing/opening the browser again.  What a waste of my time today, glad I didn't have anything else to do, lol.

Seems they have fixed the bandwidth issues they were having.  The hosts have mentioned the problems several times on the broadcast.  I'm not seeing any streaming issues anymore.

Interesting, i'm not having any trouble with nor have I at all this season. Maybe it has something to do with your connections? I doubt it has anything to do with me being a paying member but I could be wrong.

It doesn't have anything to do with being a paying member.  I am as well.

Thank you for all the comments and questions. We experienced several techincal issues during this coverage which we are working to correct. There was a local Charter Cable outage which contributed to the issues. B squad qualifying begins at 7 p.m. Eastern.

I had no issues at home, but at my pro shop I did..I have faster internet at home than I do at work..

Also during the early part of the bowling when people probably weren't .. i had no buffering issues..I only assumed the buffering started when there was a spike in viewership..

I don't know why anyone would pay for this the picture quality at full screen is horrible.  and the small screen is too small.  I will watch for free but would never pay for the crappy picture
