Was trying to watch Stony Brook and ASU and kept getting an error message saying I wasn’t authorized for the content. Called Directv Now support and googled and they don’t support ESPN3. If that’s your means of watching it, I recommend to start calling people who have a different cable provider to get some log ins and passwords!

ESPN is apparently dropping support for WatchESPN as well. The app on my phone is being discontinued on June 30, which will last through this baseball season, but will need to change over the summer.

I got a new phone about a month ago and it wouldn’t even let me install WatchESPN, just the ESPN app.

IMO, WatchESPN was a better streaming experience but whatever. Just glad I get to actually watch the games this year.

DirecTV will work fine, DirecTV NOW will not.

Yes, we found this out this baseball season. What a dumb move by DTVnow. I used to be heir bigger promoter, and now I’m thinking about switching with all their gaffs lately.

The DirecTV Rep my brother spoke with a few months ago, didn't even know they offered the ESPN App stream service...

Their reps are clueless a lot of times in my experience.

Are you using the DirecTV remote red button to access the app?

Not using DirecTV people, I'm talking about DirecTV NOW, N-O-W. It is DirecTV's streaming service. You can watch the game fine using your satellite DirecTV log in!

I understand.

I am NOT using DirecTV N-O-W.

I am watching everything on the Regular App!!!

I'm just saying I never Log in to anything. I just go to ESPN channel 206, using DirecTV, then wait a few seconds for the ESPN App pop-up, then hit the Red Button on my remote, and I get all of the selections.

You're talking about on the TV not on internet, right?
