Can you record like a DVR with it? That's something we need to have since we rarely watch live TV

Most of the time with streaming services like Sling TV, PS Vue, DirecTV Now, etc they offer cloud DVR service for an additional $5 per month. It is an add on typically that you have to have like any other package

Added the DirecTV sports pack about an hour ago, but the LHN is still showing as unavailable. Rebooted my receiver with no luck. Thought it would be nearly instantaneous, but now I'm worried...

Do you have a phone line hooked into your receiver? DirecTV and Dish make most of their updates thru the phone line. If you don't you need to call them and have them send an update signal to your receivers. If you do have your phone line connected I would still have them send the signal but there may be a bigger issue and you should still call them.

Apparently my $180 bill to DirecTV doesn't include LHN. What is ESPN thinking? Massive mistake. I'm in Omaha, so no chance of local bars ordering it. Guess I'm watching at home in the man cave.
Barley's in Council Bluffs is showing the game. Unfortunately for me I have to deal with Anheuser Busch's computer system at 1am so going out to watch the game is a bad idea.

Just signed up for PSVue with a fake account since I had already used a free trial in the past. Turned it to the longhorn network and everything seems to be working fine. I’m gonna leave it on the channel and leave the PS4 on since PSVue is hard to navigate. I would have stuck with it with the free trial on the past if it wasn’t so damn tough to find anything and navigate. I’m pumped and ready for the Cyclones to eat some longhorn beef tonight!

Pretty funny reading this thread and wishing I was one of the lucky ones who could play the "Longhorn Game Network." I'll be on an international flight, hopefully able to get the wifi package and listen to the streaming radio.

Is it time to start the "#### these homer LHN announcers" thread?

is ESPN+ an option?

Or WatchESPN via YoutubeTV?

I hate this, but if one time a year I have to give my computer AIDS to watch the game, and it keeps us out of C-USA I guess its fine.

Took 3 phones calls but finally got the 3 month free trial of the Sportspack on DTV. Big thanks to my favorite service rep Pham.

The guide is tough?

Just signed up for Vue, was worried I had used my free trial already. I'm interested in keeping it, but there's no local CBS channel, has the other 3 networks though.

I’m starting to get worried. Was planning on watching the first bit of the Nuggets game because we had altitude network with the sports pack. Now once the game started it isn’t in our package.

I was going to sign up for ESPN+ and got a free trial through Aug 31, 2019, so I'll be watching the game for free (If I remember to cancel in 9 months.
