Can someone answer this for me please (I've gotten very mixed answers via google).
If I keep the very basic cable (where I would not be able to watch ESPN on TV), would I then lose access to ESPN, ESPN 2, etc... on watchespn.com?
Your cable provider offers a package without ESPN?
I thought all of the cable TV providers provided ESPN with the most basic cable package.

I have Cox. To my knowledge, their cheapest plan does not come with ESPN
Unless I am mistaken. But that's what their little channel chart thingy said on their website.

It's only a matter of time before they start cracking down on sharing passwords. I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened already.

I use my in-laws log in. However, I still pay for basic cable - its like $55 with internet (vs $40 with internet alone). I typically use the watch espn app, but if it is a USCe game that I know I will be getting texted about, i just watch in standard def on basic cable so it's not a minute behind.

Your WatchESPN subscription will mirror your cable subscription. So if you are in an area where The SEC Network is on a premium tier and you just have a basic tier then you won't get SEC Network on your WatchESPN app. So I would assume you wouldn't be able to get any WatchESPN channels at all if you subscribed to a cable package that didn't include any ESPN channels.

I don't get watchespn (I dont think), I dont pay for digital tier, so I get espn in standard def and no watch espn.

This makes the most sense, but I couldn't find any evidence online to back it up.
I'll just assume this is correct for now.

Tell them to get netflix and you get their password. That's how our family does it. I did watchespn, brother did netflix, sister did hulu, dad has hbogo
