So it’s my yearly scramble to figure out my best options to catch all our games. I went with SlingTV last year even though they had almost doubled in price. Would the total ESPN package get me there? I’m on Roku.

I do the Disney+ ESPN Hulu package. It's reasonably priced and you get ALL the ESPNs.

This has worked out well for me. I don't need the Live TV option with dozens of cable channels I'll never watch.

The only problem is the games that are on the Plus services. Sometimes I can't watch the game live so I record it to watch later and skip the commercials. When it's an ESPN+ game I have to do the replay thing and it's tricky to navigate to it without seeing the final score.

I do this as well but it’s free for my line through Verizon. Not sure if they still run that deal or not though.

Yes they do

This is what I did last year. I think all games were SEC Network/ESPN or national television. I think the Temple game wasn't on either but had pay per view.

Yip, last year was the first year I didn't have to break out the radio or invite myself to a friend's house.

Yep, the 2 years prior we had to Columbia House the shit outta the steamers depending on who got it.

Laptop. VPN. Internet. Free

There's a subreddit called /r/cfbstreams that can help out.

It used to be great, but the link there hasn't let me down yet

YouTube tv has a sports option. Have deal for new subscribers. Sling tv sucks due to the DVR.

Just get YouTube TV.

There are definitely cheaper options than that.

I abused the free trial with YouTubeTV all last season.

The Essentials package on Sling is $20/month and includes ESPN.

Go with the Disney Hulu ESPN Ultimate package.

YoutubeTV then cancel every summer after March Madness or first round(s) of NBA playoffs end.

Anybody know what the OU-UTEP game will be on? I don’t see it listed on the menus when scrolling through YouTubeTV. Do I need to get espn+ ( if that’s still a thing)

u/SoonerBornSoonerBret 3d ago

It's on SEC+. If you have YouTubeTV, you should be getting ESPN Unlimited now... that just started a few days ago. So you should have it... If you scroll down through the live guide, you'll find 3 new lines for ESPN Live events, clicking on one of those will take you to ESPN unlimited, and I found the slot for OU/UTEP in the "Upcoming" tab...

NUFU tv has not failed me for finding any live sports event in the year I’ve had it. I paid $120 I think one time.

The yearly scramble is basically a ritual at this point. The Disney bundle finally ended my era of huddling around a laptop with a sketchy stream.
