You can connect to any internet wifi you access to.. Is it public? If so, I would imagine you can as long as the signal is strong enough.

You planning on tailgating with a TV outside the stadium? Hope everything works for you.

Its not public. Usually when you connect to LSU wifi with other devices you gotta input a student username and password but when I tried with roku it would only let me imput the password but not the username so I couldnt figure out how to connect
Thanks for the help

you should have to find the Lsu wifi connect to it , then it will ask you for a user name and password. If there is enough internet to go around you shouldn't have any problem watching.

can you do a new search for wifi on the settings?

but yeah the putting a student username does make it sound more difficult or confusing.. that's a really different wifi setup. no doubt someone else will be here to help you who has experience in this.

hope you find a solution by tomorrow.

do you have unlimited data? haha you could use your phone's data as wifi and connect to that maybe? i heard the reception isn't great there though..

Pity all of us poor "Older and Wiser" LSU Alums/Fans that actually had to attend games in the 60's/70's/80's and 90's without any external electronic devises. No Smart Phones and no PIM.

Just plain "LSU football in the Raw." The Horror of it all!

We didn't really "Need" anything else to occupy our attention in Tiger Stadium. (Like so many "Age Challenged Newbies" and their "Electronic Devise Addiction").................

Even if you connect I'm not sure you'll get it. Roku has SEC network. This game is on SEC network Alt Channel. Don't think Roku will have.

I'm pretty sure the alternate channel games show up under the regular SEC Network header on the Roku. At least they did last season.

There is a way to do it but it's not easy... There was a thread on the tech board about it a long time ago. I'll try to find it and post back.

Do you just subscribe to sec network, or some other platform like sling?

Things must have been great before electronics were invented. Did polio hit your neighborhood hard as a child?

Back before these newfangled electron gizmos the only thing people had to worry about is "excessively" quoting "themselves" for no "reason".

I have sling with the sports package. I watch the games on roku with the ESPN app signed in through my sling account.
