Both the ULL/Ark and the Miss. State/Okie State games are saying blacked out via my WatchESPN app (why the state game is, is beyond me)

I have a valid cox and directTV subscriber login for the AppleTV WatchESPN app, are they going to black out the LSU game as well?

And why is the MS State game on ESPN2 blacked out VIA the official WatchESPN app here in Gonzales? It makes no sense.

TIA

So dumb, it looks like it will I guess.

How retarded is that, the game is on ESPN, I have the offical watchESPN app for the appleTV and a local cable valid login, but its going to black out an ESPN game?

I could see if it was carried on a local affilate or something but this being a ESPN cable game and ESPN blacking out its own app perplexes me.

It won't be. The reason the MSU game is blacked out here is because it's on ABC. The LSU game will not be blacked out on WatchESPN

I believe it will be blacked out.


I was hoping to have the UGA game on my comp with the LSU on computer but UGA Clem isnt even on espn3 as in option. I guess cause its the National ABC game

That's what I'm seeing on my end. Never had a blackout problem on an espn game online.

If he has a cox cable account, he will be able to watch it on the app.

ETA: This is because it's on ESPN, not ESPN3 where it could be blacked out in our area.

oh and thanks guys, was really hoping to watch the first internet LSU game through my appleTV native watchESPN app in superHD rather than a graniny firstrow stream mirrored through airplay.
