How to Fix CBS Sports App Not Working Issues in 5 Minutes
I was just settling in to watch the PBA finals last week when my CBS Sports app decided to take an unexpected timeout. As someone who's been covering sports tech for over a decade, I've seen my fair share of app glitches, but this one felt particularly frustrating with Game 6 of the finals just hours away. It reminded me of that recent story about Castro visiting Tropang Giga practice last Tuesday - sometimes things don't work as planned, even when you're fully prepared. The good news is that most CBS Sports app issues can be resolved faster than it takes to watch a single quarter of basketball.
Let me walk you through the troubleshooting process that's worked for me about 87% of the time. First things first - check your internet connection. I can't stress this enough how many app problems stem from weak Wi-Fi signals. Run a quick speed test; you'll want at least 25 Mbps for smooth streaming. If your connection is slower than a defensive possession in the fourth quarter, try moving closer to your router or switching to mobile data. Personally, I've found that resetting my router solves about 60% of streaming issues right off the bat. Another quick fix that often gets overlooked is simply closing and reopening the app. On average, mobile apps accumulate about 2.3 GB of cached data monthly, which can seriously slow things down.
Now, if the basic steps don't work, let's dig deeper. App updates are crucial - I make it a habit to check for updates every Thursday. Statistics show that approximately 40% of app crashes occur because users are running outdated versions. The current CBS Sports app version 5.2.7 fixed 13 known bugs from the previous release. Sometimes, you might need to take the nuclear option and reinstall the app completely. I know it sounds drastic, but it's like resetting a game - you start fresh without any corrupted files. Before you do that though, try clearing the app cache. On Android, you can typically find this in Settings > Apps > CBS Sports > Storage > Clear Cache. For iOS users, offloading and reinstalling the app achieves similar results.
Device compatibility is another area where people run into trouble. The CBS Sports app requires iOS 14 or Android 8.0 at minimum, but honestly, I recommend having at least two generations newer for optimal performance. I've tested the app on 12 different devices over the past year, and the difference between older and newer models is like watching standard definition versus 4K. If you're using an older device, consider lowering the video quality to 720p - it uses about 45% less bandwidth while still providing a decent viewing experience.
What many users don't realize is that background apps can interfere with streaming performance. I recently discovered that having more than three apps running in the background can reduce streaming quality by up to 30%. Make it a habit to close unnecessary apps before launching CBS Sports. Also, check your device storage - when your phone's storage is more than 85% full, app performance tends to suffer significantly. I keep at least 10 GB free on my primary streaming device.
In my experience, these solutions should have you back to watching games within five minutes. The key is systematic troubleshooting rather than randomly trying different fixes. Remember that moment when Castro visited practice before Game 6? That's preparation meeting opportunity. Similarly, having these troubleshooting steps ready means you won't miss crucial moments when technical difficulties arise. The beauty of modern streaming technology is that most problems have straightforward solutions - you just need to know where to look. Next time your CBS Sports app acts up, approach it like a coach would approach a game strategy: start with the fundamentals, make adjustments as needed, and don't panic when the first play doesn't work.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
