No SNY, just ESPN3?

Fuller's info refers to UVerse. There is no UVerse here anymore. Frontier's answers to questions is, "We are working on it". So perhaps by Friday we will have ESPN 3.
 
But SNY lists "UCONN Women's Basketball Pregame" prior to the Bryant at UCONN game?
 
So what if you live in the midwest and want to watch the games on SNY?

I live in Illinois. Direct TV carries SNY. But it does not (yet) pay the required fees so that its DTV customers can get ESPN3. I get that from my ISP, which is Mediacom. They are a big cable TV /ISP provider in the midwest.

I doubt that very much. I'm still having multiple outages every day. In fact since they took over I have only had ONE day with no outages (When I was paying attention anyway). Just tried to sign in to ESPN3 and it told me "No provider" and Frontier isn't even an option on the drop down menu. Arghhh!!!!

Oh boy you're bringing me back to my EIU days with that mediacom ref. Hello, (former) neighbor!

So I need to sign up for two things: Direct TV and also Mediacom? What if I did everything with Comcast? I guess I need to see if they carry SYN and if they pay the fees for ESPN3. I'll let you know what I find out.

SNY is carried by Comcast (sports pack). That is why I won't sign up for Triple Play with MetroNet (lousy sports package).
 
I emailed FRONTIER and they say call tech support, which only confirms they haven't solved it yet. What a joke.

I still can't believe that a giant like DirecTV does not offer this service. I understand there is a cost involved but you would have to think that they could pass the cost on to the customers and it would literally be pennies.
 
Who knows the options for either recording this or watching it the next day? I suspect you would need some kind of streaming TV recorder to record. As for watching it later, does ESPN3 usually rebroadcast the next day? The games is just too late for this aging old geezer to make it through without major blackouts the next day. I am pretty adept with most computer things however.

ESPN3 typically has all their sports programs available for replay within a few hours of the completion of their live broadcast. I have never used a program to record live streaming onto a computer but know that they exist, though they do not necessarily work with every streaming service.
 
UVerse was my ISP and landline telephone provider, so when Frontier took those functions over I lost my access to ESPN3. Optimum is my cable TV provider. I just signed up for WatchESPN with my Optimum ID and PW and I am also getting ESPN3. Hooray!

Screw you Frontier. Even though Cablevision has driven me crazy from time to time over the past 40 years, I am seriously considering moving to them for Internet and telephone. Will do so if Frontier keeps acting like a mom and pop phone company.
 
I live in a community that doesnt have a contract for ESPN3, PAC 12 Network, or SEC Network. However one of my friends lives elsewhere and does have all three. My friend set me up with an e-mail account, she gets 7 e-mails accounts to use from her cable company. I then log into those networks using that cable account log in and get all three channels streaming on my computer. The e-mail account that I was set up has no privledges to change the cable agreement, nor add channels, etc. It is something that parents might set up for their kids going away to school. Streaming works on my PC, laptop, and smartphone. So if any of you don't get it and have a friend who can do this for you it should work.

According to the watch espn site, the UC Davis game doesn't have the little "key" symbol
with it.

Can I take that to mean that you don't need an approved cable provider to watch the
game on espn3?

This is good news for me. I think I'll get the package. Does Comcast have ESPN3?
 
Question: if you sign up for WatchESPN (like the app for your phone or tablet, don't know if it's also available for a computer), can you get access to these ESPN3 games? I think that app pays ESPN directly for access.

It's not a problem for me, I get ESPN3 with my tv/internet package, but it might be worth looking into.
 
Yeah the ESPN3 thing isn't terrible, and really it's probably the way of the future. Once old people that have spent their entire lives with TV and cable die off, broadcasters will have to adapt to the majority that get their content on phones, tables, and computers instead of TVs. You already see it with some channels really investing in their online channels with some shows now exclusively available on the 'net which would have been unheard of 5 years ago.

Sending a production crew all the way to Cal would probably have been a big money loser for SNY.

Agree. They would have to increase their infomercials from 18 hours a day to 20 hours a day.

We're spoiled, that's really it. No other school has what we have, or have had for two decades, in terms of WCBB coverage of our team. I imagine the only way to see most WCBB teams is you either go in person or you read about it, but very few will have every game televised. Last year UConn had about half of its 40 games not just televised, but broadcast on a national network.

Ya think ??? That was underling part of my point but you do not address the fact that it is not Aresco or Warde's fault as you stated. But hey you're on a roll, only on The Boneyard can one make back to back contradicting statements and pick up three likes for doing so. LOL :)
Also never forget all the games are on the radio and they (WTIC) verbally paint a very good picture...

We're screwed... I say, we're screwed!!!!!

The Uconn-UC Davis game listed on Watch ESPN upcoming events is streamed on ESPN 3 and is free, no sign in required. I have been watching ESPN streaming events for several years and ESPN 3 never requires a sign in. For ESPN, and ESPN2 events you can watch for free if your IP is listed in their sign in drop down list, mine is Comcast listed as Xfinity. For the remaining channels like ESPN U, Pac12, SEC, etc, you need to be subscribed to a sports package.
 
Look, watching a WCBB game on a computer screen cannot compare with a 40 or 50 inch HDTV. But, with the Watch ESPN app, accessing the game cast will not be difficult and it beats missing the game.

Just get yourself a Roku for 100 bucks, download the WatchESPN app, and you can watch the game on your 40 or 50 inch HDTV subject to your cable provider carrying it.
