For all the people, that keep posting, I can't see any UCONN games. Spend $25.00, get a ROKU, and you can see every game, either on the Uconn Net, or Fox Sports. No monthly fees, just plug it into your tv. I do not miss a game. I don't want to read, "I can't see any Uconn games", LOL.....
 
It's not live, but you can watch a truncated replay on the youtube app

I’ve used ROKU for over 10 years. What a nice surprise to see the UConn+ app.

However, as a person who has real trouble with agitation watching live games, I have grown to appreciate replays.

Do you know how to get a replay on UConn+ or Fox???

Nice thread and OP, but...
Some BYers that live in the SNY viewing area and their tv provider no longer carries SNY seem to be prevented from streaming the games using the Fox Sports app/channel. So, they have a reason to post "I can't see any UConn games."
Other BYers, that live outside of the SNY viewing area, are using a streaming device and for whatever reason the Fox Sports app/channel does not work for them. There could be many technical reasons behind this and everyone's system setup is different starting with their internet provider, their bandwidth, etc. So they can't see some UConn games.
And there may be other issues. For me, this season is the first time that I am kicked out of the app during the game broadcasts. Fortunately, all I have had to do is log back in and select the game, watch a 30 second Fox Sports ad and then return to the live game.
So yes, even with a Roku, or Firestick, or Xbox, or Smart TV, some fans can truthfully post "I can't see any UConn games."
But I am sure that Roku appreciates your endorsement.

I live in central NY and am definitely in the SNY viewing area.

I use Hulu Live Sports. It's $80/month (I only pay for it during basketball season). Yes, it's a bit pricey, but ...

I get SNY, all the ESPNs (including ESPN+), all the local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc), plus their off-shoots like CBS Sports, NBC Sports, FS1, and FS2. And I also get USA/TNT/etc. to be able to watch the men's tourney games as well. With the added bonus of being able to get the other conference networks like ACC and SEC.

Pretty much the only thing I don't get is the PAC-12 network and YES.

I share my account with my parents (who live in CT) and they have no issue watching any of the games.

Post/handle
 
For what it's worth, the UConn app has a lot of content. I finally replaced my seemingly indestructible ( 10 years old + and still going) LG this year with a Roku TCL. Through Roku it's easy to get access to UConn + content. It's all available on the net anyway, but, if you have Roku or one of the other compatible services, it is easy, accessible, and good quality material.

Post/handle is a running joke/observation shorthand when a poster's name ("handle") has some sort of relationship to the content of their posts.

In this case, you are "Centerstream" and your post was about "streaming." It's just an observation, nothing more than that.

Ah! Thank you for your explanation.
 
I was not able to watch last night's game on the Fox Sports App as I had to take my son to a baseball practice. I saw the game listed before I left the house. As of this morning, it isn't yet available as a replay. Of course the previous game didn't appear on the app at all.

Just check, they don't always show it.

If you got Fox Sports just check the area called REPLAYS and most of the time it will be there a day or two after the game.
If you have UCONN+ it will just show the highlights.

I looked into this by soeaking with FoxSports. They will only post replays of their own content (FS1, FS2, etc.). They can't/won't post replays of SNY's games. :(

You have seen SNY content replayed on FoxSports? Maybe they lied to me when they said that they can't do that. (?)

One game definitely was replayed the next day on the Fox Sports app, I watched it.
If I was to guess, I think it was the game at St.John’s.
 
Live in CT, have Roku, Sling (changed from YouTubeTV), FoxSports app, Uconn+, radio.
This is first year (started following Uconn around 1993-94) that I'm out of luck and can't watch live games. All what's left is radio and Boneyard.

What state do you live in?
 
The reason Fox Sports can show the UConn games is they own the rights to the Big East Sports and are in the 11th year of a multiyear contract. They have made local deals with at least a couple networks to also carry specific games. SNY purchased to rights to do the UConn Women's Basketball games who rights were not sold to an other network (for example ESPN or CBS Sports). I'm not privy to the wording of the contract between SNY and Fox in regards to in or out of network replays but would assume SNY retains in network replay rights. It is puzzling that SNY does not post replays of their games on YouTube as it would be another money maker but that could also be spelled out in the original contract. Several other Big East games are carried on FloSports.

So, I don't know this from firsthand experience, because I switched to Hulu live to be able to keep SNY, but apparently SNY has an app that allows you to access their content:

Key elements of the SNY App include:

The nice thing about the app, apparently, is that it also includes the excellent pregame and pregame shows as well as other SNY UConn content like the Geno Auriemma show. The app can be downloaded from wherever you're getting your apps now, either the iPhone store or Google play.

I hope this helps.

How so? Essentially they'd be giving away their content for free.

I can't get anything on SNY except them telling me I'm out of the viewing area

Just to be clear. The only people that have access to the SNY app are subscribers to SNY via their tv provider, like you.
So if are an SNY subscriber and are traveling, then you can use the SNY app to watch SNY content.

YouTube videos can be monetized and creators are paid by the likes and view they get. Every dollar the YouTube would pay SNY is one more than they are making now.
