I have DirecTV and am a new iPad user. I have the WatchESPN app on my IPad but don't have the right network to watch any games on it. How do I solve this? Trying to figure out a way to be able to watch our game tomorrow night since we don't get it through our Directv.

I also have this problem on my iphone/ipad. The only solution I can think of is finding someone with a qualifying network and get their id/pswd.Originally posted by TH1974 -

You should be able to get it on ch 671 on directv.Originally posted by Born-a-Panther View PostComment

Re: ESPN3 question
I know it might be silly to say, but the Direct TV Sports Package is $11 a month and you'll get the game tomorrow and all the rest of them if they keep winning.
After one month you can cancel it so if $11 is worth it to you for at least one game it's an option. I added it last night.
As for ESPN3 I have it on my XBOX 360 but can't stream it either because of Direct TV. I never tried a valid password from someone who had access to it.Victory for UNI!Comment

Re: ESPN3 question
That channel doesnt come in for us. I have never understood why even after calling them and asking.Originally posted by ceaser150 View Post"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low.

Re: ESPN3 question
Wow, could have swore I had it before the sports pack. In that case get the sports pack. I always order it for basketball season. When you try to cancel it, they usually offer it for $2 a month for 6 months if you want to keep it.Originally posted by 12thFloorBender View PostComment

Re: ESPN3 question
I didn't get the channels before last night and now I get all the Fox Sports ones. I had it for free for 3 months when I first got Direct TV a few years ago but then they make you pay for it.Originally posted by ceaser150 View PostVictory for UNI!Comment

Re: ESPN3 question
I bought the sportspak as well. It sometimes takes a day or so to show up for some reason. If you buy the sports pak it will come in. Go to the search feature and type in Northern Iowa, or whoever might be playing, and it will show you the channel. You can cancel the package after the tournament is over."Another six or seven years and 1988 will be made to feel slightly unwelcome, I'm sure."

Re: ESPN3 question
The watch ESPN thing is confusing. On a PC you can log in and watch the games. On an iPad you can't unless you have the right TV provider, none of whom are available in Iowa.
In other words, ESPN3 is only on iPad with WatchESPN access, which you can't get. On a PC you can access ESPN3 through your cable provider.Comment

Re: ESPN3 question
Yeah their platforms are all screwy. Basically watch espn is based on your TV provider, while espn3 is based on your Internet provider. Until this year they were more the same thing because espn3 simulcasted everything. Not any more. I really don't get why they blocked browser based viewing on ipad.
If you have espn3 and xbox, your tv provider should have no impact on your ability to watch, so I'm not sure if that poster was referring to blackouts or something else.Last edited by 9YRPLAN; 03-07-2013, 08:50 PM.Comment

Re: ESPN3 question
Thanks. It is confusing. Have never tried ESPN3 before... Have always just gone to Peppers but would like to watch this one at home for various reasons.Originally posted by Newsbreaker View Post"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low.

Re: ESPN3 question
There's another way. Find a bar with an X Box setup. Someone there may have one for either sports, bar games, or both. On a side note, a friend of mine here is an Illinois St. alum and bar owner. The Illinois St. AD set him up with an X Box so area alumni would have an official game watch location.Comment

Re: ESPN3 question
I think the games are blacked out on ESPN3 anyway since they are "available" locally (as long as you have a provider offering the right channels and you subscribe to the right tier). Last night's games looked really sharp on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, much better than the regular season package that is really blurry.Comment
