It stopped working about a week ago now I can’t stream any baseball games through the ESPN app if they’re on SECN+

Can’t find an explanation. Any other streaming available?

I couldn’t get anything ESPN to stream yesterday through my fire stick or phone (using family Dish log in).

Log out and try it again. It gave me that message today (We have DirecTV streaming) and then let me watch it after going out and back in.

Most people think dish has been hacked by ransomeware but nothing official. I signed up for YouTubetv Saturday. If interested you can stream with the basic subscription (don’t need the sports package). It’s been going on since Wed.

DISH was hacked, they've got major problems ... we dumped them last October and went with YouTubeTV after having been DISH customers for twenty years out on the farm.

DISH became too expensive.
DISH always has service problems during big storms.
DISH's Hopper DVR is dated with limited storage space. YouTubeTV's is cloud based with unlimited storage space.

As loyal as we were to DISH ... it became a no-brainer. We're saving $50 a month to boot.

How can it take a company like Dish days to resolve a ransomware hack?

If I was an investor I’d be pissed for sure. I don’t get the media blackout. People can’t login, pay their bill, new accounts are on hold, etc.

I subscribed to ESPN+ Friday thinking it was a work around. I was able to watch ESPN+ games but the sec network plus games aren’t included with it.

I have a Directv account and was able to stream games last week on my phone but I will be damned it would not let me cast it to my tv on my chrome cast even though it had a cast icon on the screen. Kept asking for a nonexistent PIN.
