Is there a guaranteed way to watch the game on TV?

[Iony44ny]

I have Spectrum internet with the Hulu package with ESPN. Thank you in advance. GO CUSE!!

I’m in a wait and see at 4 PM as it is on ESPN+ so I am holding out hope. If the game was on a normal ESPN channel, I would be SOL. Sucks.

Worst case (I have Spectrum here) I may pony up the $9.99 for a 1 month subscription to ESPN+.

Historically, the ACCNX (or whatever it’s called) option would also be available, and FREE.

But apparently that may no longer be the case?

 

[Iony44ny]

I usually get suckered into believing you can watch them in YES, download it and find out I can’t, gets me every year lol. I’ll buy whatever I need too to watch, I just wish there was one channel/service that guarantees the game. In this day and age there’s no reason for it. Frustrating

If you can watch this, you "should" be able to stream ACCNX at 4 PM.

I don't subscribe to ESPN+, so I can't help you there.

I’ll buy whatever I need to watch

and this is why we have a conference expansion thread that will live in perpetuity

You should be able to watch it on ESPN+ but as I’ve found since dropping cable and relying on YTTV combined with ESPN+. 1-2 games a year I will plan the day around the game, get ready for it, have reason to believe I can watch it, to have it tell me at game start it’s not available or blacked out. I never missed a game in the 90’s but in the 21st century a bunch of games are crap shoots.

If it’s blacked out on ESPN+ that means the game is on an available “cable” channel no? For me the only blackout issue I’ve had is when the game is on YES, in those cases I have to sign into my YES account with a friend of mines Verizon information to be able to stream the game. Only downside to YTTV is the no YES network.

I don’t remember all the particulars for each game I’ve missed. But when it’s been blacked out on ESPN+ even with YTTV the game isn’t anywhere. I had good luck years ago with a game we had on YES and don’t know why but can’t get YES to work for me the last ~2 yrs. The app used to be clunky too.

Todays game isn’t on YTTV for me. So I won’t know until 4 if it’ll display on ESPN+. I’ve had games where it didn’t appear there was an issue and then right at game start, blacked out. Really frustrating to not know for 25-30% of the games each year.

If you have ESPN through Hulu, you should be able to log into the ESPN APP with those credentials, and stream the game.

“Should” haha, I know sometimes games get blacked out, never understood that

Exactly!! This is what I’m trying to say. You worded it perfectly. Glad I’m not the only one haha

Today's game is listed on the ESPN App as being on ESPN+. Since they normally don't black out the game locally when it is on ACCNX I don't "expect" them to for ESPN+. But since you have YTTV which has the ACCN, you should be able to access the game on ACCNX on the ESPN App if you sign in as YTTV as your TV Provider. Any TV Provider that has ACCN (working) should work to get ACCNX.

I know what you mean, that happened a couple times last year to me as well. I never could understand it because I'm down in Tampa. That said, after using my VPN, I could find a location that wasn't blacked out.

 

[Iony44ny]

And I can't.

It shouldn’t be that way. It shouldn’t be a surprise or struggle to find the games

 

[upperdeck]

its hard because streaming sucks for this stuff..

in the old days turn on the tv find the channel

now its which of the dozen apps is it on and did i pay the correct amount to see it.

no more changing channels to watch plays since apps take so long to load and to change feeds.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Spectrum and Disney are both telling me to go **** myself, but here we are.

Should. I’ve been doing this for 3 years. Games that shouldn’t be blacked out, I log into ESPN+, seems like we’re all set, “game will start soon”, boom…… blacked out.

It’s such a joke.

Greedy little children begging for adult supervision. Disney, in bed with the Chinese, shoving "bundles" down our throats. Spectrum exec's padding their yachts with no local sports and monthly price hikes. And let's not forget Discovery (Warner Bros) ... with its lineup for the illiterate: TLC, documentaries about aliens and Bigfoot on the "science" channel and all the other garbage they're peddling. Consumer choices evaporating amidst corporate bickering and Kafta-esque blackouts. Anyone alive at the FCC?

I have YTTV with the sports package but don’t have access to ESPN+ / ACCNX. Just had to pay the $9.99. Will cancel it tomorrow and figure it’ll let me see another game or two this month

Next week's SU game vs W.Mich will also be on ESPN+ in addition to ACCNX. BUT you should have access to ACCNX if you use YTTV as your TV Provider on an ESPN app.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Sometimes for me ESPN+ works on my laptop but blacks out for no reason on the smart tv.
