WatchESPN on Apple TV question

[DJShocker10]

I was under the impression that I would be able to pick up the OK State game on my Apple TV without any cable provider info. I keep getting an error message saying that the channel isn't provided in my TV package. I typically go out to watch games because I don't have a tv package. Any helpful advice??

That's what I would do but I don't have a cable provider to list. Oh well.

I don't have advice but I will echo that I don't know when the apps are going to ask for a provider. I've noticed on an iPad that it's asked for it and it sometimes asks for it on the computer. My roku seems to never ask. For this game, my computer did not ask.

It's very frustrating.

It asked for information on the computer for me tonight. Could be a blessing that I can't watch tonight because by the end of the night the tv wouldn't be functioning.

If you decide you want to subject yourself to watching this, I'd recommend signing up for a free trial of Sling TV. They'll take your credit card, but you can cancel in the first seven days. Then use your Sling TV login information on the Watch ESPN app.

Try your ISP login...It used to be your internet provider would have to provide espn3...Might still

I already coached an L tonight in an 8th grade game. My mental health may not be ready to handle that tonight. Thanks for the info though! I may have to look into that next time!

All depends on your provider. For example, we live out of state and our Internet provider gives us ESPN3 free of charge and we get anything not being broadcast live on one of the "networks" (espn, 2, U, news, etc.). Guessing if the game is available on some channel you "could" subscribe to but don't, even if you have no TV package, you're getting blocked out.

This is totally the right answer. I forgot about this. Every time my computer asks for a login it's in a hotel or something. If I'm at home, I don't need to login because my provider offers ESPN 3 for Internet subscribers.

Ive used a VPN like hotspot shield in the past. Its free bt I paid $15 for a year subscription so I can set my location anywhere in the world and never face blackouts. I also use my parents login info for their cox subscription. Works out nicely

I hope for your sake you never got it working.
