What cable system are you on? I'm on Cinergy Metronet and cannot use this app. The WatchESPN app only works if you are a subscriber of certain cable systems. It doesn't have anything to do with the Bionic ICS because I'm running ICS 6.7.238 on my Bionic.
Here is a list of all the systems it will work for right now:
1. Bright House Networks
2. Comcast
3. Time Warner Cable
4. Verizon Broadband
5. Verizon FIOS TV
