This is why people keep saying that ESPN+ doesn't give you SECN+.

I use the ESPN app on my TV, find the UK game in the list, select it and enter the code on my screen to enter it into www.espn.com/activate on my smart phone. I then had to enter on my TV the login information and password for my DirecTV stream. Then, I’m in.

I have the same. Only way I could make it work was to open app on my phone, and stream it to tv from there.

This is the way, but no matter how many times it's said, it's beyond some people's ability to comprehend.

Just got home from work and appreciate everyone mentioning the YouTube guy. Adding a link for anyone else struggling.

So you have an active Youtube TV account then? If so, the ESPN+ subscription was unnecessary.
I do, but earlier the game wasn't showing up on YouTube TV for me. Maybe I was typing something wrong.

We all know it works if you have a tv provider. Many of us do not. We just pay monthly for the ESPN+ service and that is *supposed* to also get your sec network plus. But apparently it is not working.

Nope. Espn+ doesn't get SECN+. You just refuse to believe that.

Did you have to also stand on your left foot while holding your right ear, lol? Glad you were able to watch the game, but man it seems to be more complicated than it should be, doesn't it?

If someone typed out all of the steps to listen to the game on the radio, it would sound complicated too.

Maybe. But the radio always seems to work - unless of course you're using Android Auto or Apple.

I watched on the espn app. Logged in with youtubetv. But it used to have the games listed on espn+ and SECN+ so I’d have to make sure to choose the SECN+ game.
I did that. Wondering if the game wasn’t blacked out in a certain radius around Lex.

about the only reason I pay big $ for DISH is that that is a provider ESPN and SECN recogonize as a provider. One person on here said YouTubeTV was not recognized as a provider and another person said it was. Is YouTubeTV recognized as a legit provider to get onto SECN streaming?

I watched on youtube, pic wasn't good. I picked Kentucky basketball and he was streaming the game. Said he had over 14,000 watching at 1 time. He got so many donations, it shut off both of his cash app names. He had to go to paypal so more could donate. He did talk a lot and the sound was low. But at least I got to see it.

This SECN Plus is BS. I got to watch but through bootleg. 4 more games to go I believe. I don't pay to watch games. But I get everything sports wise on my tv except this SECN Plus BS. I get all MLB NFL NHL CFB NBA Hell even WNBA which I don't watch. I get it all except SECN Plus
