Got it working with a little bit of a workaround: select a live game and it will appear to hang on "loading movie" with the spinning wheel. Touch the boxscore on the right hand of the screen to bring it to the foreground - you will see "viewing" in the box for the game you're viewing along the upper edge of the display but there won't be any video. If you touch another game that's underway you'll be able to select the home or away feed and it'll work, and you'll be able to select any other live game after that.

Not pretty but it'll work until it gets fixed.

any new tips? having this same problem but this fix isnt working
