I think you nailed it with both of your first two points. This article is crap, and getting anything live online seems to be difficult. I can't navigate ESPN's apps/online offerings. Some content requires a certain cable/satellite providers. Other content requires a certain ISP. I recently dropped my TV (DirecTV) and switched to a local ISP, and I seemingly can't get anything from ESPN with this combination. But if I switch to Comcast internet, I seemingly will be able to get much more. The best experience I've had so far was TNT's NBA website.
