I'm watching the Super Bowl with friends on an Xbox One using the CBS Sports app, and it's near impossible. The service cuts out every few minutes (if not more frequently), and skips around - sometimes it skips back to where we left off, and sometimes it jumps ahead.

Thankfully, this isn't the case for everyone, and is seemingly getting better as the game goes on.
