TV for tomorrow's game?

I'll give you 4 letters. ROKU! Haha!
Go get a ROKU streaming stick. They cost about $50 at Walmart. If you have a HD-TV and a decent speed wireless network in your home, you can watch the ESPN+ games in HD. The ROKU stick plugs directly into an HD input. That's what I'm planning to do. And no, I don't work for them or make any money if you get one.

I know at least 5 people that want to watch the game tonight... That HAS to be more than the number that will be watching women's soccer!
All of you need call ESPN and complain or do nothing ! I called them over the weekend.
Yes they do but it's weird. If I go to the website to access it, you can search and find old UK games. But if I go through the app on my win10 desktop, I can't.
No tv for NJIT either, according to LHL today. Only being streamed. Better get an early start complaining about that one.![[winking]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/wink.r191677.gif "Winking [winking]")
Yes. If everything works as planned, a "quick" replay will be available 5-10 minutes after the game ends, a commercial free replay in the middle of the night, and a Leach & Pratt radio sync replay sometime tomorrow.
Woo Hoo, thanks IL Wildcat. I have ROKU and had just asked about that. Didn't think it would be available that way though. For anyone still in the dark, ROKU is amazing. Still time to run out and get one before the game tonight. It's great besides the ability to see this game on TV rather than your computer.
Only thing is, the last time I watched a game that was only on ESPN3, or WatchESPN, the quality was horrible. In the past I had no issues, but that last time, it would be clear for a bit and then long stretches of dial-up quality picture. Hope that is not the case tonight.
Yes silentsaregolden, I hope that won't be an issue, either. When you're streaming, it seems almost inevitable there will be a couple times when the signal isn't as good. Here's a good tip, though. Power cycle (unplug for 30 seconds or so) all your equipment (modum, router) before the game starts (even the ROKU if you have an always on device like mine). Tell your kids not to be watching any YouTube or any videos elsewhere in the house. That will help prevent the interruptions.
I watched an SEC Network football game through the WatchESPN app on my Xbox One Saturday. I have TWC in Louisville. Here is an article about it working.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beginning today, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks customers will be able to stream SEC Network and SEC Network + live on WatchESPN. Access will be available to fans and followers of the Southeastern Conference in all Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks markets ahead of the Kentucky’s Big Blue Madnessbasketball event tonight and Vanderbilt vs. South Carolina football game on October 16.

Hold the phone IL, it's actually not on ESPN3, but SEC Network +, which I can't watch. I tried accessing something from the menu on that channel, and it said "that channel is not available on your package". I don't know why. Ugh.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have ATT UVerse.

Matt Jones on KSR just said that he's hearing they are trying to get it added to the SEC Network Alternate TV channel, but as of right now it's still online only (he should know since he is apart of the announcing broadcast for the SEC Network broadcast instead of the radio broadcast like usual). I hope they do manage to get it on one of the alternate channels. That probably makes too much sense though.

See for me this feels like a step backwards. I appreciate that watching the game in some way, shape, or form is an option (yes I too remember when my only conduit to UK basketball was the voice of Cawood Ledford). But man, sure would be nice to just hit my DVR button on my Directv and be able to have it right there available on my playlist with a point and a click. Nothing extra to hook up and I don't have to worry about someone else in my house using my bandwidth. I mean come on .
I'll have to double check it. If you have to have a subscription through a cable or satellite provider, that would be an additional step. I was thinking this game was available through their free service. I'll check it and post again.
Yes, there is!
Just link up your ROKU with your WATCH ESPN username and login and you can watch it like that!
I think I'm in the clear streaming through ROKU. I have DirecTv for satellite and Mediacom for internet. You do need to have a subscription through a service that will give you access to ESPN's SEC Network package.
Okay, so I'm on my ESPN app on my Xbox right now. under "live and upcoming" for Kentucky's men's basketball, the first event listed is Albany vs. Kentucky on November 13. Soooo ... am I looking in the wrong place?
edit: Found it. Had to look at "all" events. Apparently this isn't found under Kentucky basketball. Convenient!

I have DirecTV too, but I have AT&T Uverse for internet, and apparently the SEC Network Plus is not available though them. Thank God for Billionth's site.
I see the game tonight is on UK sports network, is that 18 or 27? I've looked through my programming guide and don't see it listed
Every game is part of UK Sports Network, doesn't mean what channel it's on. Tonight's game isn't on TV. You'll get it on SEC+ or WatchESPN.
Well, while I was talking to UVerse guy about this, at least I did get something out of it. He saw that I was eligible for some promotion discount of 30 bucks off my bill per month for a year. So at least I got that going for me. Which is nice.
Haha! "On your deathbed, you'll receive total consciousness. So, I got that going for me, which is nice." Made me chuckle my friend.
If the technology I plan on using for this online game behaves like it's supposed to and the game ends on time, probably around 9:05 PM or 9:10 PM (ET). A slightly better quality commercial free replay should be ready by sometime in the middle of the night, and the Leach & Pratt radio sync should be ready sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Sure bet that the SEC+ Servers are going to get a Real Test tonite.
Might have them thinking, maybe that wasn't a good idea. Can you imagine the response from the BBN if their severs go down?

While I agree it's annoying--the actuality is that all games are now streamed by someone somewhere. Access is the best it's ever been.
Brother wake up and smell the Hops and Barley...

Don't mind the count down clock. He did that to annoy me.
