Espn3 brings you 24/7 live programming from your favorite ESPN networks on your computer, smart phone, tablet and Xbox 360. This is basically Internet TV.
In the U.S., the network is available to individuals who receive their high-speed Internet connection or cable TV subscription from an affiliated service provider.
Here is a list of Espn3 participating providers

But how can I get it on my TV anyway?
What cable do I use?
Do I need an app on my phone? Or do I go to the website?
Does the app cost anything?
Do I have any other options?
Do you have the contact numbers for my provider who doesn't have ESPN3?
Are there any bars that have the game?
What about GZ?

I can't wait for 1:59 on Friday.

Good thing I'll be at the game and not on the Rant.

Through a computer, smart phone, XBox or comparable game system or streaming box.

It always is on gameday, regardless of the game.

I love reading the responses to the questions that get asked every week. Ranters can be so kind and understanding of others needs. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Again, this is one we keep running into. It is not your cable provider... it is your internet service provider.

I recommend people who are not subscribed to a Watch ESPN provider to use XBMC for PCs, Macs, iPhones and/or Androids. It is free to install...then you add the ESPN3 plugin to it. Once you have the plugin settings right, you'll be able to watch all content from ESPN3 (not live ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU programming though) AND force the highest quality stream.

Not my call, bruh.

If you think you can handle it, go for it. The admins might want you to update it if necessary or put more info as questions come in that we haven't thought of.
