Although our 4 VB and Soccer games last weekend were shown on ESPNPlus lineup under the SECPlus

logo, they would not come up when keyed ! Calls to ESPN and Direct were of no use . They hardly knew of the

SEC much less ESPNPlus ! Our payment to ESPNPlus were recorded.

All VB and soccer games not on SEC Network are on SECPlus !

Any suggestions to solve this problem will be welcome ! 3 games are scheduled this weekend.

Is SECplus a channel? I had always thought the channels were SEC and an SEC Alternate? I thought ESPNplus was the online streaming?

SECPlus is an add on to ESPNPlus . Not a network . $ 5 for subscription .

What device are you using? Have you watched other live events through ESPN+? Have you watched other live events on SECN+?

I think you have a misunderstanding of what SEC Network+ is. You do not need to pay for ESPN+ to access SEC Network+. SEC Network+ is part of the same package that allows you to access ESPN3/WatchESPN with your TV subscription.

From the "About SEC Network+" Page:
Quote:

2. What is the difference between ESPN+ and SEC Network+?

SEC Network+ is complementary to SEC Network, with digitally exclusive events available on the ESPN App. ESPN+ is the first-ever multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service from The Walt Disney Company's Direct-to-Consumer and International group and ESPN. It delivers thousands of additional live events, on-demand content and original programming not available on ESPN's television or digital networks, housed in a completely redesigned ESPN App.
Quote:

3. ESPN+ is a paid subscription. Do I have to pay separately to access SEC Network+?

No. SEC Network+ is part of your pay TV subscription.

To reiterate, you do not need the ESPN+ subscription to watch SEC Network+

If so, what is the channel number for SECplus ? On directtv SEC is 611 -There is an alternate chammel but it

isn't SECPlus. Why does ESPNPlus have SECPlus in it's lineup ?

Still confused .

  • Are you watching through a DirectTV cable box?
  • You said you watch ESPN+ no problem, what channel is ESPN+ on your DirectTV?

On computer WatchEspn has ESPNPlus - am now

Do you have a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick or Google Chromecast plugged into HDMI 2? As far as I know, ESPN+ is an internet only channel and shouldn't be available on a cable box.

Got both amazon fire stick and roku . ( France tied Iceland with 2 goals in 5 minutes )

Ok great. This is the list of things that I do to watch Aggie Soccer on my Roku when they are playing on SEC Network+:

  • Turn on Roku and switch the TV input to the input with the Roku
  • When on the main screen of the Roku, go to the ESPN app
  • Once in the app, go to "Browse" and hit OK. Browse is in the top right hand corner, next to the gear icon
  • Once in the Browse menu, scroll down until you see a list of channels. Go through this list and choose SEC Network+ (be sure to choose the Plus version and not the regular version)
  • Find the event you want to watch

Hopefully this fixes your issue.

The other issue you might be having is that the ESPN app sometimes logs me out of the Roku app, so I have to log out and re-activate using my credentials to be able to watch games.

Thanks 3rdGen ! I have done all that you mentioned - when I hit the SECPLUS games an error message comes

up that says in effect that this is not part of my package.

I'll double check at 6:30 tonight for the UK soccer game and report back .

Many thanks .

Long out of your espn app and reconnect it. I use roku now but the espn on xbox constantly logs out and i have to reconnect.

SECplus on WatchEspn must get precedence over Cable and Amazon fire stick and Roku causing them to

issue the error

message . When I got the error messages , I must have assumed WatchESPN on computer would be the

same and didn't check . I'll double check tonight at 7:30 when ladies soccer is on - the game is listed by

WatchEspn .

Would you believe ESPN sent me an email saying that the "new" ESPNPlus did not include SECPlus

and that I would have to go to DirectTV to get it . I emailed them back asking why they included SECPlus in

their lineup if that is so. I believe their instructions are not up to date - which includes the SECPlus explanation .

Again, thanks for all your inputs !

Log out on the roku/fire devices and then log back in. Do this first when you have issues.

Looks about the same ! Please source the rule about this huge problem .

Try www: the punctuation guide

In the era of typewriters , it was common to insert 2 spaces at the end of every sentence .

As long as you are typing on a computer , a single space is generally preferred .

I'm guessing you are a fan of oxford, ms, oxford shirts, and the oxford comma.

When the English language is involved , why not do as the English do !

As a side note, I have seen all of "Morse" episodes which take place at Oxford plus a lot of " Inspector Lewis " .

For the most part Oxford's faulty and students come off looking real " bad " !

Producers and writers must have a grudge against Oxford .
