It would seem that the ESPN+/SECN+ access has dropped off of the YTTV benefits.

How are y'all planning on watching the game vs. Austin Peay?

Yeah, the path of least resistance is to pay the $11.99 for the ESPN Select subscription and just watch thru the ESPN app on my TV.

I'm curious if it's possible to initiate a trial for Hulu Live TV, Sling, etc., catch the game on Saturday and just cancel before the week or so is up.

We have no gripes with YTTV, but the recent development of this new ESPN direct-to-consumer model poses a problem for this specific game.

SECN+ is viewable on a phone/computer/tablet as long as you have ESPN through your normal provider.

Click on the ESPN app or go to watch ESPN online. Find the game. Click the secn+ option (very important! ESPN+ is some bullshite paid service, secn+ is no extra cost). Game will play. Hopefully you have a button on your device to be able to cast to your tv.

At least that is how things USED to work. No idea if things have changed

I was under the impression that there'd be one game per SEC team per year that wasn't on YouTubeTV. Is that wrong, or did something change, or is Austin Peavy our one game?

In the past I just sub to ESPN+ and then cancel after the game, for like $8.99 and consider it a pay per view. Even when you cancel it, they still give you the rest of the month before they shut it off in case there's any other obscure weird shite you may want to watch.

This year it's the WSB Radio app while driving to Destin.

One suggestion is go to YouTube and type in "GeorgiaAustinPeay Live

Someone always has it streaming on there. They're not supposed to, and if YouTube finds it they will kick the broadcast off, but somebody else will have it on there. There are usually 3 or 4 different streams. Doesn't coast a cent that way. When my wife and i was in Switzerland I watched the SECCG when we played LSU, that way.

I'm streaming SEC+ content from ESPN.Com. Everyone who gets the SEC channel from their provider can stream SEC+ content from ESPN if they log in and verify their provider. I don't know why that is so hard to understand for some people.

Everytime I've tried to do that it has ended in complete failure, hoaxes, someone showing a fake game, people using Sony Playstation games etc. Never has worked for me. I don't recommend anyone relying on this.

That's the way it's been done in the past, but appears to be complicated/changed by their DTC model that launched last month.

I may try to see what's up with the noon SECN+ game, if there is one.

Why are you unable to stream SEC+ from ESPN.Com?

I have YouTube TV and that what I've been doing for two years. You can watch live action and, later, you can watch the game again.

The devil is on the details. Peep the fine print. YTTV is no longer in the "free with subscription" category of live TV providers.



I'll repeat for a third time - These changes are new to YouTube TV as of last month when ESPN launched their new direct to consumer subscription plan.

If there is a SECN+ carve-out or workaround, I'm all for it, but that's the whole point of the thread.

ESPN+ has never been a YouTube TV benefit. SEC+ is an ESPN streaming benefit for everyone whose TV provider includes the SEC Network. So many of you fail to get this year after year.

You are posting bad information. Nothing has changed. If you get the SEC Network you have SEC+ streaming from ESPN.Com.

Anyone listen to the radio last week? How did Josh Brock sound. Heard him a bit on the pregame and he sounded competent
