I tried to get, but it said I was not subscribed to it, contact your provider. It has always worked for me before. I tried it on a couple other games and it worked but not for our game and some others. Can anybody explain that?
I was having a similar problem, but called ESPN Support and the rep I spoke to was very helpful. 1-888-549-3776 (Had earlier spoken to someone at Comcast/Xfinity who was not helpful at all.)
Rep had me uninstall and reinstall the WatchESPN app on my iPad. A message came up asking whether to allow "watch ESPN" to use your TV provider subscription. Choices were "allow" or "don`t allow". My instincts were to click "allow", but rep said click "don`t allow." Then a screen came up asking me to click on my TV provider (xfinity). I clicked on that, and it all seems to be working fine from there.
My cable package includes ESPN and ESPN2, so I get them on WatchESPN, plus ESPN3, which is totally online. I don`t get ESPNU or ESPNews on the app because I don`t have them in my cable package.
In addition to ESPN3, there is online access to the ACC ESPN network. Good to know for all you Syracuse women`s volleyball fans! (Actually, good basketball as well.)
