How to watch today's game

[Sean Miller Fan]

The easiest way is if you have AT&T SportsNet or one of the dozen or so regional sports networks that bought the Fox Sports South syndication package. The list of these RSN's is here:

http://theacc.com/sports/2019/10/29/FB_RSN_PITT_GT_19.aspx

If you dont have one of these channels, you can watch it on ACCNX, which is really just the ESPN App. However, the live broadcast of this game MAY be blacked out on ACCNX/ESPN app. If it is, its probably because you live in an area that has the game available on your local RSN. The way to get around this is to watch it on your phone with your wifi turned off.

Someone else said that if your local RSN is a Fox Sports RSN, you can watch it on the Fox Sports Go app. I dont know if that's true but if it is, you could just watch it on your TV instead.

If all of SMF's advise fails just go to a Sports Bar or casino that has the game.
Mrs Buffett and I are doing that at our beach casino.

Mrs Buffett is still playing poker but will make the 4pm kickoff unless she's winning big or something else "big" comes up.

In that case she'll be approximately 30 mins late for kickoff.

Mrs Buffett doesn't let me watch the poker action since I'm apparently bad luck??, and I look her father??

But SMF deserves extra credit for his efforts.

I do not see how from a business perspective all of this internet trickeration is necessary to watch a football game. I am willing to pay (and do-via Hulu) to watch the game. This game is within the package to stream that do not require the full ACC Network package. So if you have ESPN streaming rights, you should be able to see this game. But the stream platforms we are paying for actively try to block us from using the service we paid for....

I just don't see why they would give a rat's arse if my IP address is in Pittsburgh, New Zealand, or Timbuktu.

For this game, I can just go into Watch ESPN, without my VPN, at watch this one.

Good luck to all of you elsewhere trying to watch it.

VPN via NewYork works on the ESPN app

Because, for instance, if you live in Pittsburgh they want you watching the game on the channel in Pittsburgh, AT&T Sportsnet, that is paying them money to show the game.

But you have already paid them in the way of subscribing to Hulu. If you have paid for the ACC Network through Hulu, you should be able to watch a game on the ACC Network on Hulu.

The game isn't on the ACC Network. The game has been syndicated to the regional sports networks. Hulu does not have a contract with the regional sports network in Pittsburgh. So you actually haven't already paid for it.

Yes I have paid for it. I am watching it through Watch ESPN. It is on ACCNx/ESPN. It is paid content requiring log-in to view. But if you live in Pittsburgh, you have to pay for it twice, as your ESPN/Hulu/ACC Network has sold it again to the regional sports network.

 

[USN_Panther]

My point is that they make it ridiculously difficult to pay for and receive this service. It is actually easier (and free) to just go to a Reddit stream. They should make it easy and accessible for those who want to pay for their service.

Wait, so you actually are watching the game and you are still complaining about being able to watch the game?

I am complaining on behalf of my Panther brethren in Pittsburgh. And trying to help them beat the system so they can watch it too.

At this point maybe we all should be. Even though we’re still up.
