DISH for obvious reasons. Xfinity because I don't use their TV service. So I'm stuck using sportsurge today for all things BSPN and Mickey Greedy Mouse. Got a friend or enemy who will share their password for another provider? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looney 794 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've bounced back and forth between YouTube TV, Fubo, Sling and even "traditional" Xfinity old school cable. Xfinity has all the channels, and seems to avoid the issues with channels disappearing/re-adding, but they don't play nice with my Google TV streaming devices, and I refuse to pay extra for their TV boxes, on top of their high monthly rates. I think the same goes for Spectrum and Cox, based on what I've heard from friends in other parts of the country. I'm currently with YouTube TV. The ONLY downside from my end is they don't have Bally Sports RSNs, so I'm out of luck with Atlanta United and Braves games. Even when they're on ESPN, they're blacked out in my area. I've decided just to live with it for now. United aren't great this year and the Braves will be on other channels when it comes playoff time. Fubo was solid. More expensive than YouTube TV, they have the Bally RSNs, but they're lacking the Turner networks (which sucked during the NCAA Tournament time). Now Sling (and Dish) are dropping ESPN. The dream of streaming utopia that was dangled in front of us 10 years ago has turned into a huge cluster. If the ESPN umbrella came in a stand-alone package, I think most people would drop their traditional service providers and go a la carte. ESPN has this advantage when they come to the bargaining table, and I think some networks have called their bluff. There was a moment YouTube TV emailed users saying they might not be able to renew their agreement, but they eventually found a way. It's frustrating as heck. The big corporations always come out on top, even when we have the illusion of competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the ESPN+ subscription is really just for everything NOT on their main channels. The DAY, and I mean.. the very day... they decide to build their own stand-alone solution that includes live ESPN, SECnetwork, ABC, etc, the big media/streaming services are going to be in for a world of hurt. EDIT: And I'm sure they're getting every ounce they can out of that fact at the negotiations to renew contracts. They're the last domino to fall to be able to go full a la carte, in my opinion.

The scary part is what theyre going to charge for this package. Theyre still milking all the cable subscribers now, but when that scheme finally collapses theyre going to be looking for a way to make up the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t use TV or don’t have a TV package that has ESPN via your internet provider, ESPN will not allow you to watch it for free IF you’re trying to watch it through your Internet provider i.e. on your smart TV or PC. You have to already be paying to use ESPN via your Internet provider. It doesn’t matter who’s provider and password you use. I tried my friend’s through a different provider and it still didn’t work.

I'll remain somewhat optimistic, until we know for sure. I look at what they charge for the Disney+ bundle (with Hulu and ESPN+) for a LOT of quality content (like... more than I could ever consume) and hope they'll be fair about a similarly robust offering on the ESPN side. Then again, like you say, they're printing money with their agreements with the providers now so they're not going to just lose that revenue.

gr82be 14,422 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Just saw a commercial on ESPN stating that ESPN was no longer on Sling and Dish and to contact Disney. Who do they think they are reaching with that if the Dish and Sling customers can't see it???🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to click on the link in the top right hand corner after you click the game of your choice. Again I click on gold standard when choosing a link to a game. Do not click on anything that says VPN. If there are no links present, then they got zapped. BSPN IT dept taking no prisoners today.

wareagle7298 126 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have ESPN+ "free" through Verizon. So of course, it doesn't have all the normal EPSN content, but it does show Auburn-LSU at 6:00. It will most likely be the version like that I just watched with the Ole Miss-Kentucky game, which was with no announcers and is mainly from the overhead camera (live) but replays from the normal angles. Better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
