My 2 options for Bama/LSU game.

1) ESPNU, which was SkyCast from behind the LOS every play. No commentary. And with commercials.
Now the camera on the wire malfunctioned and they are back to sideline cam with commentary.

2) ESPN-4K. Sideline view. No commercials. During TV timeouts we get a far-away sideline view. Except we had the far-way sideline view for Bama's TD and it was impossible to see the play.

This shidt is all over the place. Disney is the devil and they want a monopoly.

I don't usually let this bother me, but wife is a Bama alum. Big game every year for her.

YTTV refugee. And Sling allows only 1 TV streaming at a time

You could just turn it over to ABC.

Couple of things:
1. A cheap pair of rabbit ears is a good investment.
2. You could try the ESPN app and sign in with Sling as your TV provider. There may be more options available to you in the app.
I have all of that, seems I'm in a no signal zone, maybe some of it is limited signal.

Sling may not be great, but $6 for a day pass is a great deal and there aren’t many deals when it comes to live sports streaming.
I’ll need to come up with something else for basketball, though.

Just watch over-the-air, assuming you live somewhere in the vicinity of a television station.
I'm out in the sticks, and down in a holler. Rabbit ears don't work.

I may install an outside antenna and see if that does it.

if anyone is technically savvy and wants a referral to the best private IPTV provider out there, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll get you a referral. They only take new subscribers by referral, but they are the best out there. great customer support, not the cheapest at $25 a month, but you get what you pay for with IPTV. It's always up and all 4K content. They don't have a website. They only take referrals from current subscribers.

I looked at Sling today as a future option. The day pass Orange package doesn’t list SEC network as part of it. Does it come with all the ESPN’s and SEC?

The best digital tv antenna that I’ve personally used is one of the As Seen On TV antenna that is just a piece of pvc pipe about 14-16 inches long capped on each end and a coax fitting in the middle. That thing picked up channels that powered digital antenna that cost five times more didn’t. No idea if they still even make them or not.

I have Cspire. It's expensive but I never have any problems with anything.

I had to pay an extra $1.00 to get SEC Network so I could watch Arkansas game.
