Question about viewing

Centerstream said:
I'm curious to know who the tv provider is that offers SNY and NESN to customers who live in LA. I do know that at some point DirecTV did offer those two networks as part of their $9.99/month sports package but I didn't realize other tv providers offered the same package to customers outside of their normal service areas.

ATT Uverse. It's part of their sports package. I think ATT owns DirecTV (or they own Dish - it's one of those 2)...

I'm confused about what you are trying to explain. The SNY games are no longer posted on UCONNHUSKYGAMES site but some were posted to YouTube by the person that made them available to be posted to the UCONNHUSKYGAMES site (they also posted on the Boneyard after each game was uploaded). Nan did add this, about YouTube, to the rules post.
There were a couple YT channels that had the SNY games available but they seem to be disappearing.

Now for a big swerve: I have been watching last season's replays on YT for the past couple of weeks and one game that I have not found is the St. John’s at UConn. I believe it was a SNY broadcast because if it wasn't, odds are that the replay would be available on UCONNHUSKYGAMES.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Sorry, this is Uconn at St John's.

So, being as how I am not in the area of any provider carrying SNY, I am simply sol, both for live streaming and for later viewing, right?

As stated many times if you get Fox Sports, then you can watch all of the SNY televised games via the Fox Sports app. Do you have Fox Sports, then all you have to do is download it on to your TV, or what ever method you have to stream the game.

I believe you are correct, they own DirecTV. They bought it just about the time we cut the cord.

MS I get Fox Sports, but it is the Mexican version, mostly people pounding each other bloody. I guess I will try Hulu at the appropriate time and see if that works. Thanks for the tip anyway.

SNY's will not be available unless they waive their copyright's which they decided to enforce last year. That is why you don't see any of their covered games on the Boneyard.

Thanks. I wondered what happened.

Are you sure that's not the regular news?

Thanks to all posters. Now living in SC and was challenged finding all the UConn women's games. We have a number of small, regional internet providers here with exclusive contracts. Complex but very helpful feedback.

Why does it feel like you have to pay 3 different times to watch something that use to be free........

Because that’s the climate of the times we’re living in. I feel your pain. I want to see every UConn women’s game I can. That means I have to pony up some extra cheese to do so. I have DirecTV.

I buy the package that has all of the ESPN channels, and the other national sports channels like FS1 and CBSSN. That package costs me $194 a month. That does not include SNY. SNY is part of a regional sports package that’s available for an additional fee of $14 a month. I only buy the sports package during the regular season. On top of that, they also charge a “regional sports fee” if you have any ESPN channel in your package.

I remember when cable/satellite TV was reasonable. Those days are gone forever. There are some things I’m willing to cut back on, being able to watch all of UConn’s women’s games is not one of them. I also record every game in case I want to watch it again.

The losses I delete right away. I’ve never rewatched a loss. It was painful to watch the first time. Once is enough. I guess the time to really be concerned is when we can no longer afford those cable/satellite TV prices, and can no longer watch any of the games. :(

Is SNY available on YouTube TV? Only later? Anyone know how that works?

I believe that SNY is available on YTTV but only if you live in their viewing area. I think it is part of NBC's sports package.
YouTube and YouTube TV are entirely separate entities, btw.

I’m in San Diego. Two days ago, I paid $5.09 a gallon for 91 octane at a neighborhood gas station.

They showed on the news yesterday that it was $7.29 a gallon for high octane, I believe it was in San Francisco. Here in Vegas the casino's are getting a little worried about it because almost 65% of the visitors are currently coming from California.

For the same reason I also never watch a loss again. It hurt me enough the first time, why should I go through the pain again.

According to quantum theory, until you watch it it never actually happened; it remains, as it were, in limbo, like Schrodinger's cat. Since the best I can do down here is watch archived games, I never watch losses. Seems the least I can do.

You can get Fox Sports with Slingtv. I believe it costs $35 per month.
 
I was going to get Flosports for November but all the negative comments changed my mind. If all these comments are true I can't imagine how they stay in business. Read them before you invest in this service. Scares the out of me.
 
This is copied from the Full Schedule Released thread. Hopefully it will help viewers.
"SNY’s lineup includes UConn’s season opener against Arkansas on Nov. 14, and 17 BIG EAST games for the Huskies. Included in that lineup is UConn’s league opener against Seton Hall on Dec. 3, a rematch of the 2021 BIG EAST title game with Marquette on Dec. 29, and both DePaul showdowns (Dec. 31, Feb. 11).

FOX Sports is also the home for out-of-market games on SNY. Out-of-market fans are able to stream the SNY games at no additional cost to authenticated subscribers. Users will need to sign in with their TV provider credentials at FOX Sports News, Scores, Schedules, Odds, Shows, Streams & Videos | FOX Sports or in the FOX Sports app."

But I still have a question. If for some reason a viewer only has access to their local channels, including Fox, (yes, I am having a 1980s flashback), would they still have access to the FOX Sports app? The local FOX affiliates do cover sports, specifically the NFL and MLB.
Or do you need to have FS1 too?

You must have FS1 to get the app.

They're not true. The main basis for these peoples complaints is the lack of a feed on First Night. Yet the problem with that night was not FloSports, but the lack of experience the UConn people had with dealing with providers, and their all around ineptitude in almost everything that night. The Facebook feed failed that night as well. How was that FloSports problem? It was the UConn media people that failed that night, not Flosports. Now, if someone complains about the video quality of FloSports feeds they may have a leg to stand on. But these other people are all really just passing gas into a hat.

Maybe this should go on the random thoughts thread. How come we never got to the business model of buying single channels? I watch probably fewer than a dozen channels, but I have 500 including 50 or 60 shopping, food, home remodeling, religious, foreign language, kid channels, etc.

I specifically asked a phone rep at DirectTV if I could only add SNY ala carte. They said no. You have to buy the entire package for $13.99 per month. Even though I don’t watch any of the other stations in that package, I really don’t have a choice if I want to see their games. I add the package the morning of the first game, and cancel it right after the last one. So I grin an bear it. It’s only money.
