Any way to live stream Aggie baseball other than connecting espn to dish?

That's loaded and might need some unpacking. YouTubeTV, Hulu Live TV, and Fubu all offer over the top services that have tiers that include SEC Network.

For games on SECN+, you have to log into the ESPN app with your tv provider.

But all three use authentication via TV provider on an ESPN "app" to connect. I personally use Spectrum and Apple TV as my set top box and the tvOS app from the Apple App Store.

Note I also have ESPN+ via the Hulu/Disney triple pack but it doesn't provide very many Aggie games. <<< also known as "what Trouble said."

Sling orange with sports extra also has the espn networks.

I couldn't tell where the struggle was but I remembered some comments but MarkF about some authentication problems not that long ago.

Sling is owned by dish so when dish went down existing accounts could still stream the game and authenticate, but changes to the account could not be made and new accounts couldn't be opened.

I have ESPN+ as well and even when we're on SEC+ I'm able to use either to get the games.

My experience is a little different. Some games offer me both an SEC+ feed and and ESPN+ feed, but not all games. All home SEC games should at least stream on SEC+. Some are broadcast on a linear channel, usually SECN, as well as streaming but those are much rarer. As basketball finishes up more NCAA baseball will show up in ESPN1/2/U, too and be available on the watch tab of the ESPN app.

So much better than the 12th Man TV annual package I could get in Iowa from the school for $75 per year!!!

With all the mistreatment Dish has done to it's customers over the years I don't know how anybody sticks with them still and pays a premium for the privilege too.

The ESPN user provisioning when you have both ESPN+ and TV credentials just flat out stinks. Curious if you have tried using only ESPN+ when completely signed out of your provider because technically most (but not all) of our games are not simulcast on ESPN+.

Never had a problem.

Are you seeing two or more streams to choose from, perchance?

When I watch our game on SECN+ I say SECN+ into the remote and all those games come up. If I'm watching on my phone or tablet I go to ESPN+. On those devices if I were to take the time to click on watch, scroll all the way down to the channel listing I could see it through SECN+.

That sounds like you are using the ESPN app, where you are logged in with your TV provider credentials. That's not the same as ESPN+ which is a separate OTT service.

If you have an ESPN+ or Hulu Triple Play subscription and log ESPN either with Hulu or previously Disney+ credentials you can see ONLY ESPN+ games. Or if on the iPhone you open the ESPN app there is also an ESPN+ tab at the bottom.

If you log into TV Provider and authenticate with an account that has an SECN license grant then you can watch everything except ESPN+ and some pay per view like UFC fights.

If you have both there will be more than one stream choice to choose from if there is a simulcast between a conference network like SECN and ESPN+.

To say it's quirky is being considerate. But choose one you don't have a license for and it gets really annoying…

Whatever it is I'm watching it on my tablet through ESPN+. I realize I could also go to the watch tab, scroll shannels, then to SECN+ and find it but this saved a step.

Keep doing what works for you but I still very strongly suspect you are signed into your tv provider on your tablet and that is why it works. Has nothing to do with ESPN+. You might be using the ESPN app but that is not ESPN+.

For reference, here's all the games on ESPN+ tonight. No Ags to be found.


And here's what happens when I try to start the A&M game from the SEC+ link. You cannot view it without providing live TV credentials... ESPN+ is not an option.

1. First, go into your ESPN App on your TV (not the ESPN station/channel--I use ROKU as my conduit, as it is a one-time charge of around $20 and will last years. It has all kinds of Apps and free TV within it's initial menu, of which, the ESPN App is one of them. ADDITIONALLY, YOU CAN ADD OTHER APPS, OF WHICH TEXAGS AND TEXAS A&M ATHLETICS CAN BE ADDED and you can watch videos from these Apps on your BIG SCREEN with surround sound). With DISH, you'll probably have to go through the search features and find the ESPN App and go through that portal. Once in the ESPN App, go to Settings.

2. Go to Account Information within the ESPN App and arrow > over

3. Set up an ESPN account if you haven't. If you've set up an ESPN account previously, DELETE the information regarding your TV Provider and ESPN Account (read below as to why).

4. For good measure, turn you TV off--to reboot (you may not have to do this, but I did) turn your TV back on and go back to your Settings

5. Input your information into the ESPN App regarding your account and TV provider and you should be good to go. You get the activation codes through espn.com/activate. You will be prompted to do this with the TV Provider, along with the ESPN account information.

Hopefully this is universal.

Good luck.

This is a menu of Apps with ROKU. There's a lot of free tv too.

I added the TexAgs and TAMU Athletics Apps.

Get into the ESPN app as displayed two pics above and go to the Settings in the upper right

Then in account information either create a new account if you don't have one, or delete what you have in there, reboot and add anew.

Just so everybody is clear, ESPN+ subscription doesn't not gain you access to games streaming on SECN+. Even though ESPN has it labeled as such on their App.

I.e. You do not need ESPN+ paid subscription to watch our games unless it is specially streamed on ESPN+ (which it is not). Only a TV provider with access to the SEC Network is necessary.

If you subscribe to YouTube TV, DISH, Direct, HULU etc., I'm assuming you will get the SEC+, but you have to go through the above steps and register your provider on the ESPN App.

I do with YouTube TV.

Correct. I have access to the ESPN channels through Xfinity. Additionally I subscribe to ESPN+ which allows me not to have to toggle back and forth to switch from a game on SEC+ to one on ESPN+.

This is on ESPN 2
