First, thanks to anyone who can help me understand this shite.

So, I no longer have cable, satellite or anything like youtubetv.

I paid for ESPN+ thinking I could watch SEC games but have not really tried to use it until today.

Can I not watch all the SEC games on ESPN+ ? I am watching Clemson GA for example but cannot watch the Vanderbilt game. I don't care about that one, but the only reason I paid for this subscription at all was to get to watch the AU games.

Any help would be appreciated.

I keep Sling TV and ESPN+ for football and basketball season.

Streaming quality is very clear this year. Best I've ever seen it.

Depends on if you have a TV subscription. Some games are available because they are on network TV (free over the air ABC) some are not. And those that are just espn+ should be available through the app.

So if it’s an ESPN game and not an ESPN+ game you will need a TV subscription

I don't exactly know, but I think with just ESPN+ and no other subscriptions, you can't watch the regular ESPNs that are apart of a cable/Hulu/YTTV subscription. You can only watch the non-broadcast side of ESPN+ stuff.

So no SEC network, ESPNU, etc.

But I'm not too sure.

Re-upped today and 1st thing was to try scheduling a recording.

Game shows up under search but the channel/station from memory doesn't allow recording. It's on SEC Network so you'll need their $11 sports add on.

etc: SEC Network
eta: And from memory it's more used for basketball

If you don't have SECN and don't want to buy ESPN+, just go to Sportsurge and watch on one of their streams.

I had trouble downloading the ESPN app to my TV. I have to log into my LG tv acct to download apps. Not letting me log in for some reason.

Got out one of my old ROKUs that has ESPN on it and hooked it up.

Logged the Roku onto the wifi. Went to the ESPN app. Can use my Disney+ login to log in to ESON... I get the Disney+ for free from Verizon.

Yeah, it's all a pain in the arse...

We have a Hulu/Disney/Espn+ bundle and it was somewhat of a pain getting logged in as well. That two factor authorization shite is a pain.


I go it going. I wish there was a way to record the AU game from ESPN+ but I just dont think it is possible. Hopefully SECn will have the replay

Do you actually have ESPN+? It is not a ESPNalt. It is a pure streaming channel.

We are watching on ESPN+
