We have Uverse and I'm trying to stream the game today through my Amazon Fire Stick but when I go to watch SEC Network or SEC Network + it says user not authorized. It was my understanding that since I subscribe to SEC Network then I should get it on the app once I'm logged in. I tried deleting the app and redownloading it and signing in and out of my provider but neither worked. It also won't let me do it on my phone.

I don't know how it works on phones, but I use it on my laptop and stream to my TV using HDMI. I have DirecTV service and log in using my DirecTV logon. It works fine that way.

I had the same problem with a Cox log in. I ended up getting a Direct TV log in to get it to work. Not sure if because the LSU game was on SEC Network, ESPN is trying to block it so you watch it on actual TV.

Just noticed that the list of providers on the Apple TV support page for watchespn does not list DirecTv. I wonder if those pricks no longer support it.

Well, I just used my DirecTv account to log on to watchespn on my iPad, and it worked. Now I'm airplaying that to my tv via Apple TV.

Not sure what's up with the app not working on roku or Apple TV.

I always thought they blocked "local games" to force you to purchase SECN to see games you want to see.

I had the same problem today with Roku and AT&T. I streamed a game last week without problems, not sure what the problem was today.
