admin Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I just noticed this yesterday on the ESPN app yesterday trying to watch the US Open, but it looks like ESPN has a new channel called ESPN+ where you have to subscribe for $5/month. Has this always been the case and I just didn't notice? Looks like we have 2 games on ESPN+, EMU and Toledo. They are spaced out over 30 days so we would have to pay $5. I think ESPN gives you a 30 day free trial. There are 4 games that don't have TV listings. These are Rutgers, Army, Central Mich and Akron. Wonder how we will watch those games.

BasketBull Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 They changed it up approximately 6 months ago if I recall. I'm not real happy with paying for my full sports tier through my cable provider and still missing out on content. Considering just cancelling cable and going a la carte on services I want at this point since I got it mostly for sports anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBull Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The four games that do not have TV listings is because of TV. The Saturday football games for the most part are on 12 day windows, except for the first three weeks of the year. Those are announced earlier. That means 12 days before a game (two Mondays) both a time and television outlet are announced. Rutgers will have the kickoff and television availability announced the Monday after the Temple game. The following Monday we will find out about the Army game. As for ESPN+ it is $4.99 a month with a one week free preview. You could possibly get multiple free previews by using different names, email address and credit cards and cancelling before you have to pay. I have access to six emails between personal, work and others that I control. You could use a spouse's email and credit card and their emails as well. I have no idea how many devices could be logged into one account simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone willing to do the research to determine which Streaming service (hulu tv, sling tv, DirectTV Now, etc...) carries the most UB games this season?

RochBull Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah, I'm not paying $5 a month for what was free in the past (Although I just saw that they merged ESPN+ with ESPN Insider, so your $5 a month subscription also includes the insider articles on their website and ESPN The Magazine). I tend to be hit and miss with catching games on Saturdays anyways due to yard work, and family events & activities. I'll probably catch what I can on ESPN 3 or other networks and stream the radio broadcasts on the tuneIn app when I can't watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bull_trojan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 They seem to be putting all the MAC's rivalry games on + to force each fanbase to pay...unintended consequence may be higher turnstile attendance. I assume they'll get us all come basketball season 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeyG Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 i bought the magazine a few years ago like 4 years for 20 bucks and the magazine made you an insider which was converted to plus this year for free, something to think about. magazine sucks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I subscribe to ESPN insider. The magazine immediately goes in the recycling bin. I rarely log in, but like to check scores of college football and basketball games. If I had to pay another $5 a month to watch games that I couldn’t get otherwise, I would probably do it. Sounds like I won’t have to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeyG Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I lost a lot of the second quarter as ESPN3 stopped working for me till the third quarter, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
