I figured I’d get more help/responses here than the tech board so here goes.

I bought the Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter with the intent to watch the game tonight while I’m camping. The ESPN app works fine on my iPhone X but as soon as I plug in the adapter, it stops. I’m assuming that ESPN blocks it.

Has anyone successfully worked around it and got the ESPN app working from phone to TV?

You can't

Just cast it. Should have bought a Chromecast.

ESPN and Apple are in cahoots to ruin the world.

Use your phone as hotspot/dhcp.

Well that royally sucks. I just bought the adapter for the sole purpose of watching it tonight.

Any other websites that stream the game?
