Got a feeling West Virginia game will be ESPN+

Rifle through my desk to find the ESPN+ password, dig through the closet for an HDMI cable, load app, pray connection is working at full speed, scroll through piles of D3 garbage, find game, click my way through input connections until I figure out which one I plugged the HDMI into, hopefully finally watch game.

OR

Channel up/down

I'm going with the latter.

I wonder if you could preemptively have the first paragraph ready to go to begin with.

This first world life isn't for everyone.

As opposed to the 5 year old hardware connected to HDMI 1 that you're paying monthly rental fees on. Buy a Roku, load up ESPN+, watch sportsball

It won't be that much. You can get along with ESPN for $25 plus a bunch of other channels.

But the subscriber fees to ESPN is spread out among many more subscribers with cable/streaming services. If ESPN ever goes to a full stand alone package, they're going to destroy their revenue from streamers especially but likely cable too. There's no way ESPN is going to do that unless they can make significantly more per user than their cut of subscription fees.

Its a first step. Pretty soon you will be able to buy all the ESPN channels ala carte without paying for 175 channels you don't want from cable,satellite,or even streaming TV packages.

This isn't going to happen.

My only beef with this is that I usually DVR games and catch up to them later. And I can skip all the ads.

Not sure, but I'm guessing ESPN+ won't let me do that.

I bet it will be like my bleacher report live app. You can do all those things with it.

When they archive it you can forward through ads, sometimes the ads are just a placeholder.

Maybe not if you're watching live catching up though.

Notably, ESPN+ will not play games that are currently airing on ESPN networks.
