I signed up to use the DirectvNOW free trial and then logon to ESPNapp with those new Directv credentials and was not able to watch LonghornTV. I am going to try and up the package and see if it will let me watch...

I "upgraded" to the most expensive package to free trial for 7 days...and it worked!! I will be watching Saturday night and canceling on Sunday. BTW it looks pretty easy to cancel.

DirecTV just gave me it for free. Only been a member since 2015. I called earlier this week and they said the absolute best they could do was 5 dollars off the sports pack which would make it 8 bucks a month. I said I'd think about it, called them back today and the rep offered a free 3 month trial right up. Score!

OK. I am hearing I can get ESPN LHN with a Samsung Smart TV? I have that. So how do I get the App? Or I also heard I can get the game by buying Ruko? If true. How do I do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

DTV just gave it to me for free for six months and said that it would automatically roll off after that. We will be cancelling before that so that doesn't matter to us.

With Direct TV do not rely on it. You will probably be charged.

Are you able to add the sports pack on the trial period. Because the LHN needs the sport pack.
Yes.

Just did it today. And it was with my old log in (I've used this trick for other times I've needed a channel.for a game) and still let.me.have five days for free.

I did it through the app and will just Chromecast to my tv....and as I'm sipping my victory drink I'll cancel after the game!

My brother is northern MO has DirectTV. Called to get sports packet added as he told teh rep he wanted access to LHN. They told him it would be $100 to get the Premier Package....only way he could get it "for your region". What is he doing wrong? Any helpful hints? He told them he knew people were getting a 3 mos trial period for the sports package....but couldn't make any headway.

The key part of that passage:
...watch live events and programming from the ESPN linear networks they receive as part of their video subscription...

Again, if you don't already get LHN through Mediacom, you can't get it through WatchESPN via Mediacom.

This person is 100% correct, in case anyone else was still holding out hope for a Mediacom miracle - the game is absolutely not happening on Mediacom anywhere. But good news, just like dualthreat reported above, I too was successful in getting Playstation Vue streaming on the free trial basis, as I'm watching LHN now too (free through Monday at 6pm, but MUST cancel before that time to avoid first month charge). However, in order to activate free trial it's necessary to give them a credit card on file. Much, much relieved at this point. I live in Creston, an hour SW of Des Moines getting PS Vue.
