Works for me. 🙃 So the question is...does your internet package that you're using already come with ESPN? Or not? Again, my internet is Xfinity...I do not have a TV package with them, so using Xfinity for internet, ESPN will not allow me to view ESPN on my PC or my smart TV, even using my friend's sign in for AT&T. My friend can see ESPN, but I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend can see ESPN, but I can't. I'm not using Xfinity now but I had Xfinity and it worked on theirs too when I was living in Maryland only a year ago. I have never bought a TV package from any of the internet companies over the last 10 years. Because I don't do cable and I've never had a problem using my parents sign ins. My Dad even changed from At&t to Charter where he lives and didn't have a problem. Edited October 1, 2022 by autiger88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay Disney for service, I pay Dish. I've been with Dish for over 12 years. They'll fix this immediately or or I'll discontinue doing business with them. Contact Disney😂😂😂. Guess you should just call the operator and be like “hey, uhhh can you patch me through to Disney”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagle7298 126 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I'm sitting here watching the Texas A&M game on YouTube. Auburn game should be the same. Just go to youtube and google Texas A&M. It is like the 3rd video down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a contract dispute. It happens all the time with all cable/satellite providers at one point or another. It's just the nature of the beast. I've had Dish Network for 24 years and I love it. This is just an unfortunate bump in the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat 569 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 A lot of understandable whining…however, Disney is demanding a $1 BILLION fee increase. Rather steep. Over a roughly 14 million customer base that rounds to $6.00 a month added to your bill. Sadly, this round robin extortion will hit all providers and all of us. https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/1/23382051/dish-sling-tv-drops-disney-espn-fx-contract-dispute-streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will continue until a customer base curtails purchasing substantially OR there is a competitor in the market. I would like to see them cut out all the talking head labor for broadcasts and transmit just the game video and stadium audio. That broadcast mode jumped the shark long ago. If you had someone in your living room telling you all that extraneous junk about everything under the sun while attempting to just watch a simple sporting event, you'd, uh...., well it depends on the marital status. That could trim some labor costs off the balance sheet and improve the viewing experience for actual sports fans. All their in-broadcast crap is unnecessary duplication of info already available (stadium audio, stadium scoreboard, and the whole damn internet). BTW: tv.youtube turned out to be a much better quality and UX than sling. Liking it for now. Edited October 2, 2022 by AUx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper 3,120 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 So for those of you fellow pizzed-off DISH customers...I called them and requested compensation. They refunded $5 off my next bill. That's as high as they would go. Is it proper compensation for losing a full day of CFB? No. But it's better than $0. And yes...if you call them, you will have to wait on hold at least 25 mins. Perhaps using their chat feature is quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
