My answer probably wouldn't help, but I subscribe to Dish Network only during the 3 months of football season for tailgating. So I use the WATCHESPN app on the Roku during football season for other games.

I got a WatchESPN username and password from a close friend. I can watch all ESPN channels/SECN from my computer or phone in high quality.

ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/SECN etc is pretty much all I need because I don't watch any TV show or anything else on cable.

Have any friends or family that will give you their online password? I got rid of cable and use my parents TWC password to watch just about anything I want. Without that password, you won't get your sports though.

Do you have someone's WatchESPN account you can borrow?

I basically borrowed either my brother's or parents' cable login for WatchESPN. SECTV wasn't on the air yet, so I didn't have to worry about losing it.

I cut cable out right before college football season....didn't miss cable one bit. Saving $100 a month now.

Im not ashamed to say that I got an Apple TV for Espn and have over the air HD cable for abc, fox, cbs, NBC, etc. worked fine for me so far. I have zero need for 95% of the cable channels. All I want is ESPN and fox sports NOLA to watch the pels

HD antenna for all ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox games. The good games are on these basic channels 9x out of 10.

Can stream CbS games for free with out login.

Boss cast net for all other games.

Games missed = zero

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?
