They just don't like the way ESPN presents it on the app. Apparently logging in to TV provider and then when you click on the game tile choosing SECN+ is too confusing. Obiviously they are scamming them into thinking they need ESPN+ 🥴
I only had it for UFC fights. But I figured out how to watch them for free and dropped that ish like a hot potato.
Yes the audio drop outs are infuriating. Makes me want to kick small babies.
That is how its supposed to work. But it doesn't. I have had to go to the SEC conference section and find the game labeled for the SEC+ network. Otherwise it tries to get me to sign up even though my YTTV is already signed in on the app. Nothing to aggravating just a couple extra steps. But for some of the older fans its a hassle. My 80 year old grandparents have a hard time figuring it out. Thankfully they live about 20 yards away so its not a big deal to walk over and set it up. But I'd imagine not every older fan has a younger person to help them navigate it. We didn't pick up a controller and immediately know how to work everything. We are just accustomed to technology. They aren't and at 80 years old they have earned the right to complain a little. Especially when as everyone says they already have access its just a matter of getting to it.
Not with Spectrum Cable. I had it, but now you have to subscribe to a bundle program with Disney to get ESPN+& SEC+.
Mine mutes too; thought it was my equipment. Very annoying. Last night's game even went old-style resolution a few times.
You can rewatch later if you want. The games are moved to Replays section of ESPN app
You clearly don’t remember the days of 1130 tape delayed games on WKYT. We’re spoiled now.
Ok, say you live out in the state and have cable that is provided by a small local cable company (e.g., the kind where the folks who own the cable company still live there in the community). You pay $120/mo. to get SEC & ESPN, etc. Are you’re saying that person can definitely stream the game without paying/doing anything more, assuming they have a smart TV or streaming device and download the ESPN app?
Plenty of these types of games used to be untelevised or on tape delay. The radio still works
It answers your question by pointing out that everyone has some means to enjoy the game even if they have a local cable provider. The radio still exists.
Watch the game on the TV and sync up the radio and listen to Jack Pilgram and Tom Leach.
It's just like nails on the chalkboard for me, sometimes I just mute the game cuz I can't stand the cutouts.
Here’s my legitimate problem with it — yes, you can go back and watch the replay once the game is over. That’s true. But what you can’t do is start the game from the beginning if it’s already started. Sometimes I have a kid that has practice, event, even dinner. I like to be able to pause the game and pick back up. There’s no DVR. So you can watch it live, but there’s it. It’s a small problem but that does make it a little different than the regular TV experience.
Well, it doesn't answer my question at all. But thanks for letting me know that. I'm glad radio still exists.
You’re only getting these games if we are playing Cupcake U. If we don’t want internet games, we should play better competition. Every game doesn’t have to be a Duke but we could schedule a Dayton or Ohio U and I guarantee it won’t be on SEC+
Yeah and then the rest of the SEC realized basketball exists.
In my case I don't have a TV provider. My primary entertainment is my PC and YouTube TV.
Okay, fine? I don't make the schedule. They all used to be on regular TV. Again I'm not really complaining about it, I haven't had any problems with access. But I have gotten home after a couple of our games have started and wasn't able to start them from the beginning.
