TV

Who the hell pays for tv? Every damn game gets streamed by multiple people on freaking youtube.
Youtube doesn't bother dropping them usually. I guess cuz your STILL watching it on their platform.
I can't remember the last time i didn't see UK game on regular youtube.

Yes. If you can't get the game through your provider just go to YouTube. Search for "Kentucky Lipscomb" shortly before game time. Very likely there'll be multiple live streams available.

It's not that easy for everyone. My dad for instance is 80 years old. So far he has managed but it isn't easy for him and it stresses him out something fierce. lol

There you go I am 70 and paying thru the nose for dish waaay too much and now cant see the Cats play. I have not had much luck with buying programming and "canceling" usually too complicated for me, cant get them on the phone. So lucky for me I grew up before they were televised and listened on the radio so I drag the radio out and listen.

Back on the internet tomorrow. What a joke of a TV schedule. Bring back Bromley and JP Sports.

It's pretty garbage no lie. I just find a crackhead website and watch it from there now lol

I just don't agree with you, I'm reasonable, and it was simple as hell to figure out.

It's extremely simple. Yes, there are multiple options. Yes, if you are an uneducated person I can see you clicking the wrong one. Most of us are smart enough to click the correct and free version though.

The counter argument is who is too cheap to pay $50-$70 per month (for lots of channels and games) to watch a higher quality broadcast and would rather watch some shaky, not high-resolution game with poor audio and some guy talking over the commentary.

I figure we all fritter away too much money on a bunch of other dumb things to be worried about a little bit of cash during the season to watch our favorite team play.

Wrong imo but.....
You just keep paying. They need your butt. You pay 70 cuz we pay 0. And it'll stay that way. Well until you pay 80..then 90....etc ..
Cable got money from me for 30 years straight. They been done.

You don't NEED ESPN+ to get the games.

ESPN+ is a service you can buy without a TV subscription, cable or streaming. It offers access to SOME live sports, but also their premium content and articles on their website and some reserved content and backlog catalog of things on the ESPN+ app.

If you have SECN through a TV provider, then the VAST VAST VAST majority of those have the ability to use your account to authorize SECN+ in the ESPN app. You'll often see 2 versions of a game, one showing ESPN+ and one SECN+, so just know you'll need an ESPN+ subscription for those labeled ESPN+ and a supported TV provider (like YTTV) to watch the ones labeled SECN+.

Which is convoluted and stupid. Disney espn should allow all Espn programming on ESPN plus. .....but that would finish cable tv and streaming cable. Cable tv and streaming cable rely big time on live sports on pay tv. It would destroy the pay tv subscription base and hurt league profits.
Thus we cant watch espn legally without cable or streaming cable......for now.
Got ya by the balls.

I have YouTube TV and also have ESPN+- can't remember from the first game how but I was able to log on and watch it pretty easily

This is what I’ve been doing all year. Watched all football games on YouTube live. Watched basketball the same way.

I think you are correct- I do remember seeing a couple different options, SEC+ and ESPN+ after I choose my tv provider as YouTube TV- it was pretty easy

I have an LG Oled tv. When I go to the ESPN app on the tv, it doesn’t ask me for my tv provider, which happens to be YTTV also. It asks me to enter a code on my iPhone through the espn activate link. I do that and I’m able to see SEC plus on my tv.

Did that too, still nothing.

I'd be curious for you to make a 2nd ESPN account and try with that, maybe something is wonky w/ your account?
