Don't know if it's been mentioned today

The WatchESPN app will be available for all Comcast customers starting 5/8/2012. Was listening to 105.9 this morning and they announced it on Mile&Mike. This app had only been available for people using Verizon FiOS, Time Warner and Brighthouse Networks Internet as their service provider.

under settings. Still same ole same ole.

Same here

I think after you update the app that will add Comcast to provider list

 

[rabiddawg]

And it DID add Comcast to provider list. Enjoy!

What if you only use Comcast for Internet?

Edit: it works with new iPad app update

 

[rabiddawg]

Because Comcast/xfinity is your ISP. Cable TV has no bearing on it. As long as you have a Comcast ISP acct you will be able to use the app. You just need to know what your Comcast username and password is

between this and apple tv I really have no use for the 1400 channels xfinity offers.

Comcast is listed as a provider. I signed into Xfinity and it came right up.

so that makes them just like me...

Has anyone who has Comcast for internet service ONLY (no cable TV service) tried this? I did, and it gave me a message about needing a television subscription.

 

[MISSSTATE34]

I have DirecTV and Comcast for internet and am getting message about needing television subscription...

What is up with all of this? Is it just a contractual thing where only certain tv providers have a contract with ESPN to be able to use the app? Or is it the opposite where companies like DirectTV have something in writing in order to prevent it for their customers? While I think that's crazy, I guess I could understand if they thought that the app might give you a reason to cancel tv service.

It's just frustrating because while it seems to be an awesome app, it sure is complicated to get it to work.

for free? The point is to allow people who pay for ESPN to be able to watch it away from the TV.

 

[MSDawg34]

Should it?

And by "looking", I mean "snarling and flipping the bird".

I pay AT&T for ESPN. I pay AT&T for internet. Now gimme WatchESPN, dammit.
