If you don't have any tv then you are missing the two basic requirements to stream the SNY broadcasts on the Fox Sports app: a local Fox station and FS1. And you also need tv credentials to login to the Fox Sports app.Well, I only have the internet, no tv, no cable service. My internet service is wifi, not landline. So I just have to live with limited access.
You have to have a paid TV provider of some sort in order to use the Fox Sports app free. It can be a cable provider, or YoutubeTv or Hulu+, but it has to be some service that includes Fox Sports channels on it. This is how Fox gets some revenue from your use of their service. If you have none of these, it means Fox gets no revenue from you. In that case, you need to pay Fox directly in order to stream broadcasts through their app.Well, I only have the internet, no tv, no cable service. My internet service is wifi, not landline.

I have enough bandwidth for streaming on my tablet, phone and desktop, But there is no cable service available. Thus I depended entirely on mjl243 for viewing Husky games. Anyway, the WNBA starts in a few months, I have League Pass and am a Lynx fan.If you don't have any tv then you are missing the two basic requirements to stream the SNY broadcasts on the Fox Sports app: a local Fox station and FS1.

I would also guess that if your internet is supplied to you via wifi, then you might not have enough bandwidth for streaming.
I apologize for my lack of understanding your internet situation. In fact we access the internet in 2 separate ways. One is via fiber optics and this network is used for the majority of our streaming. The second is via Verizon 5G Home which we use mainly for our cell phone internet access and a backup for the fiber optics.I have enough bandwidth for streaming on my tablet, phone and desktop, But there is no cable service available.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me using YouTubeTV in WHtfd.It costs nothing if you already pay for cable and your provider offers FoxSports, which is pretty much all of them. Just sign in with the credentials for your cable. YouTubeTV also counts as a cable provider -- that's how I sign in.
I'm not sure, but I think if you live within SNY's broadcast area, the rules for access are different. I'm out here in New Mexico, so definitely way out of SNY's area.Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me using YouTubeTV in WHtfd.
I also have Hulu Live and use the Fox Sports app, downloaded to a XBox S (that is connected to an older model SmartTV), and as long as I am logged into the app (using my Hulu credentials) I have not had any problem streaming the SNY broadcasts. This season I have had an issue where I have been kicked back to the Xbox home screen during some of the games, usually around half time, but have no problem getting back to the broadcast. And every time I open the Fox Sports app for the games, I am still logged into it.I have a Hulu subscription so I therefore have the Fox sports app. On my tablet it works fine but on our smart TV, sometimes the system only allows a 5 minute preview. A bit inconvenient to have to resign our credentials so often.
It’s a mystery for sure.I also have Hulu Live and use the Fox Sports app, downloaded to a XBox S (that is connected to an older model SmartTV), and as long as I am logged into the app (using my Hulu credentials) I have not had any problem streaming the SNY broadcasts.

So I wonder why you only get a 5 minute preview and don't stay logged into the app.
Yup the closed SNY thread assumes, I believe, that BYers know how to download apps (or channels) to their Smart TV or streaming devices.Mr. Aruk never posted the St. John's game, so that is probably going to be hit or miss going forward.
I did have a breakthrough on the Fox Sports app front, since I cut the cable over a year ago. I have Samsung TV, you can load the app off of that. Supposedly it works with models 2017 and later.
I would have posted this on the SNY thread, but it is closed for comments.
- Press the Home button on your remote control.
- Select APPS and then select the Search icon in the top-right corner.
- Enter the app you want to download and select it. You'll see details about the app as well as screenshots and related apps.
- Select Install. To open the app, press the Home button. Simply highlight the app you want and select it to open it.

Why would SNY give content away for free?
That was how many years ago? Cable TV, for which people pay, became the norm years ago. Rabbit ears worked for a while, then it was announced that you might as well take the antennas off your house because networks no longer used that technology, meaning no more freebies.Most major TV networks give away their content for free. I watched free TV for half my life. The profit is in advertising revenue.
FYI - If you live near a large city, you can still get a number of High Definition "over the air" FREE TV stations like CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX and others as long as you have some sort of cheap antenna (from Walmart Amazon, etc.) and a High Definition TV with a digital tuner.That was how many years ago? Cable TV, for which people pay, became the norm years ago. Rabbit ears worked for a while, then it was announced that you might as well take the antennas off your house because networks no longer used that technology, meaning no more freebies.
The fact of the matter is, if you want to watch TV, you have to pay for it whether it’s cable, satellite, or a la carte streaming. people demanding to see free UConn games from SNY is like demanding to see free boxing matches on pay-per-view once it’s aired.
