This Gamecock article a few days ago likely sheds light on all our problems: we are at the mercy of negotiations between ESPN and your provider. I get 1 SEC channel on TV thru Time Warner, but not Watch ESPN and thus my IPhone, which is the majority of the content....

"AT&T U-verse, DISH, Charter, Comcast and Cox are among the major providers who already offer online streaming to its customers."

HOWEVER:

"Time Warner customers who attempt to access SEC Network Plus are blocked with the message, “The SEC Network on WatchESPN is currently not available to Time Warner Cable customers.”

"There have been discussions but no agreement between Time Warner, the SEC and ESPN to allow digital access, the cable company said in an emailed statement."

WHAT CAN WE DO?........COMPLAIN

LSU Coaches /staff

We deserve better from LSU, the SEC and ESPN as coverage was better before the SEC network came into existence. I wrote an email copying 7 individuals about fan erosion due to greed ....

Thanks for proof reading as I am ecstatic there was only one error.

I just hope this helps many of us who are unable to stream LSU content.

I don't get it! WatchESPN's list of participating providers includes Time Warner. Check WatchESPN participating providers

Thanks and get Watch ESPN for everything except SEC Network content. It must be a separate financial negotiation between ESPN and TWC for this, and that negotiation likely considers the 5 TWC regions around the the country. I rep them for bandwidth.
