Watch ESPN and Directv

[kired]

Am I the only dumbass who can't figure out how to sign into my tv provider (Directv / AT&T) to stream ESPN? For the past few months when I try to log in, I get an error telling me Directv subscribers have to use their new AT&T access ID, which I've followed the links to set up, find this again, and reset my password at least a dozen times... and have never been able to get signed in on ESPN.

Didn't really care during football, but now that basketball has arrived this is BS. The ESPN crap has always been really glitchy and I'd have to log out / log back in sometimes. But now with this access AT&T ID thing I've been shut out completely. Anyone else with this problem or figured out how to make it work?

I had same problem tonight... finally just gave up.

Yeah I don’t get an error message, just every time I click on the game I have to login and the game never plays. ESPN says it’s directv and I believe them. ATT has ruined directv. Never had any issues until they bought it.

I was able to go to the P4 and run the Watch APP.

I too could not get into ESPN watch tonight on PC or MAC.
Reset every 17ing password imaginable.

I just chatted with directv for about 45 minutes. Apparently there’s an outage with both watchespn and HBOgo apps.

I am having the same issue.

You should call DirecTV. They changed a lot of their third party log in stuff back in September. Tech support probably cannot fix it, but they will offer you a discount for your trouble.

Mine worked fine

All I have are issues since they switched to the new OS about a year ago. First I couldn’t watch on demand despite being connected to WiFi, then my recorded programs won’t appear in my list (still ongoing) and now this. Again I never had any issues until ATT purchased DirecTV and switched the OS.

I watched it fine on ESPN App.

If you’re having that much trouble, it might be worth it to pay for a SlingTV subscription and just use that for ESPN App. I think it’s like $10 or $20 a month

Glad I wasn't the only one. Tonight it wasn't working for me either

It worked fine with Comcast and WatchESPN over here in TX.

I have Dish, and at first had trouble getting on... said there was no signal ... but after several tries with my super-slow Roku, it came in OK with no more trouble.

 

[The Fatboy]

Worked fine on my firestick

Yeah, this same thing happened to me back then. They had to reset the password in some way that fixed it. Took 2 or 3 calls but if you reach a tech that knows what they are doing they can fix it immediately.
