Does the new Cable Co. (MaxxSouth Broadband) that bought out the Starkville Cable (Metrocast) have watch ESPN?

Directv is still negotiating the new Disney/ESPN contract that expired Sept. 30. The deal between Dish and Disney/ESPN took five months to work out after their contract expired.
http://www.multichannel.com/news/dis...iations/386437

Directv did come to an agreement with Fox on internet access to be available 1st quarter of 2015.
Under the agreement, DirecTV’s 20 million U.S. satellite TV customers now have access to Fox Now, FXNow and Nat Geo TV apps, the programming group’s three TV Everywhere services. In addition, DirecTV will make live feeds of FX, FXX, FS1, FS2, National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo Wild available for out-of-home streaming on the DirecTV Everywhere platform.

In addition, under the pact, starting in the first quarter of 2015, DirecTV will launch VOD content from all Fox networks on DirecTV Everywhere....

Rumor is that it is in the deal, when Directv renegotiates their contract with Disney. Which I thought was this month, but I can't get any verification from Directv on either. What else is new there.

Got my moms UVerse log in about a month ago then realized 2 weeks ago my mother-in-law has Comcast so I set her up a login too so I now have access to both. As soon as the bowl games are over I'm telling Comcast to kiss my pale white arse and severing ties. I made a homemade antenna this weekend that p/u 16 network channels in Jackson metro area, I'll let the 2 of them duke it out to see who has the best internet only deal. Nope, I'm not a wacked out cord cutting doomsday prepper, just tired of their endless bickering crap.

We dropped cable/sat back in May- I don't miss it in the least.
Have a TIVO to record live over the air shows, Roku for streaming, and Netflix. I made an email on my in-law's Comcast Xfinity account and use the WATCHESPN app on Roku. My parent's DirecTV email gave us HBOGO streaming. It has everything I would want to watch sports-wise. The only thing lacking is TNT NBA basketball and I could watch it live on my phone or laptop using TNT's WATCH program, but I just don't miss it.
Its amazing how much less ESPN you watch, yet still stay completely up to date on the day's, week's, and season's changes in each sport.

I still lay on the couch watching TV like a lazy POS, and just as much as when I had access to hundreds of channels. I just pay 1/8 what I used to. Without some creative login use, I would not have this setup, I recognize.

Have had Roku/Netflix for awhile as well. Haven't done TIVO, been debating that vs Channelmaster Plus or Playon/PlayLater. The Play on prices right now can't be beat

DirecTV and ESPN just signed a deal. DirecTV subscribers now get WatchESPN and................THE LONGHORN NETWORK!!!

Cool about time.

DIRECTV customers will be able to access the live linear feeds and video-on-demand content from all ESPN and Disney cable networks and ABC owned and operated TV stations in and out of the home on the authenticated WATCH services – including WatchESPN, WATCH Disney Channel, WATCH Disney XD, WATCH Disney Junior, WATCH ABC Family and WATCH ABC – using Internet-enabled devices in early 2015 and soon via the DIRECTV Everywhere app on iOS and Android phones and tablets, and directv.com. Other new services to be introduced as part of the deal include Fusion, Longhorn Network, ESPN Goal Line and ESPN Buzzer Beater. DIRECTV customers will also be able to utilize expanded viewing functionality on select content across Disney/ESPN/ABC channels, and will have access to ESPN’s live multi-screen sports network, ESPN3, and SEC Network’s digital platform, SEC Network +. The companies will also explore new opportunities with respect to potential over-the-top (OTT) offerings.
