TV for tomorrow's game?

SEC has a alt station, most likely it will be there..but usually doesnt show up until close to a game
 
I have a Roku streaming stick. You can buy one for about $50 at Walmart or pretty much anywhere that sells electronics. It's HDMI (plugs directly into an HDMI input) and you can get any ESPN online programming for free, if you have a decent internet speed. That's how I plan to watch Ottawa game, and all those that ESPN will show online. This way, you don't have to sit and watch it on your computer or a tablet or something.

Did they get enough phone calls? alternate channel???

^^^^^"The game will be aired live on the SEC Network."
 
Still not showing on the Directv guide. Hopefully that wasn't just a typo.
 
Maybe Mitch doesn't want his teeny, tiny alma mater to finally get some tv exposure.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
 
That's still saying SEC Network + which is online only.

Yeah, I started to say...my TV is still showing SEC Soccer Tourney on tomorrow evening. As much as it might anger people on here (myself included to an extent) they are not gonna bump off a SEC Tourney for any sport for a meaningless exhibition game. The funny thing is they will lose ratings showing the soccer game though lol
 
Just tried Watchespn on my desktop and the picture is horrible and choppy. I have att Uverse so maybe you all have faster connections.Sucks that UK would do this to the fans. At least show it on the local channels like they used to!!

On Friday, MJ was talking about the game is only going to be streamed. I didn't catch it all. Not sure if the game is going to be streamed on the SECNetwork or on WatchESPN.
Edit: The watchespn site has the game listed for the SECnetwork+ which is available thru watchespn.
If you have a computer running Windows 7 or above, with a HDMI connection and a tv with a HDMI connection, and a HDMI cable, you can try SlingTV. They have a 7 day free trial right now. After 7 days, it costs $20 for the basic channels and $5 more for the sports package which includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC network and access to WatchESPN.

You need an email address and a credit card. You won't be charged for the trial. I signed up yesterday and it worked perfectly for the football game last night. I have the lowest internet deal from TWC.
I have it running right now on my laptop with my desktop on the same internet connect.

There is a thread about SlingTV on the Rafters here.
The slingtv trial is here.

You don't need to free trial anything.
Just run a cable from your video card to your tv and use it as a second monitor. I did that years ago too play doom 3, well before sling tv was a thing.
 
So we can get BBM and the Blue/White game on national tv, but not an actual game. SEC Network is airing women's soccer tomorrow, solid business decision there.
 
So is it going to be available on here for free? Like the one guy who always posts the link for replays.

You will need access to WatchESPN site. The free trial will get you that.

Of course if you stream from ukbasketballlive links, then you won't need a free trial.

That was my goto b4 yesterday.

Yeah I'll have some type of high quality restream of the SEC Network+ stream as well as a few links to others restreaming it--so you won't have to worry about any kind of provider restrictions with them.

If BBN calls and complains enough to ESPN and the SEC Network it still might be possible to get the game on one of the SEC Alternate TV channels... so I definitely recommend people calling.
 
Wouldn't matter what internet company you have. Access to games on WatchESPN, other than ESPN3 games, is entirely dependent on who your TV provider is.
You are correct. And when the SEC network came out I had directv. And I wasn't able to access the SEC through the ESPN app. So I changed to time Warner. Well guess what. Time Warner isn't a participating provider. That's my luck. Haha

That's a good reason to dump TWC and go back to Direct TV. Just use TWC as your internet provider only. Direct TV will give you good deals to come back.

Hell, they are cutting 2.5 hours off the Finebaum show as well. NO WAY the SEC Women's Soccer Tourney gets bigger ratings than the Finebaum show (if I'm wrong I apologize to the ladies), and I see no way it would beat out UK vs. Ottawa due to UK fan interest either.

Do we need to call ESPN or SEC Network or does it matter. I want to call somebody. Have a B/W practice on SEC Network but not a actually game. That is pitiful.

I have got 3 SEC Network Channels. SECN which has Paul on in the afternoons. Then a SECAN that plays nothing most of the time. Then I have a 3rd SECN that NEVER has anything playing on it. What is the point?

I agree. I see no reason why the game cannot be on the alternate channel. Hell, I'd also like to see PF on the alternate...lazy by SEC Network/ESPN IMO.
 
I'm betting if UK made enough noise they'd at least allow the UK Network stations to show it.
I tried to get people to start calling last week and complain to espn to get it changed......now the night before everyone wants to freak out about it the night before when it's probably too late. We made them change it last year for the blue white game. Had a chance to make or voice heard again, but it seems the fan base pissed the bed this year

Unbelievable,I see a bunch of whining at the last minute by some posters in another thread even though we've had some time to call espn and complain. Now it's the night before and some are waiting until the last minute to cry about it. We should've flooded them with calls earlier in the week
