Help me watch the game today

I have been to the first row place and nearly killed my computer putting all kinds of programs on it.

Did the upgrade of some player program to get esp3 and could not get the BB game Wednesday.

I am not the best at programs but is there an easy way to get to watch the game?

Back up position is to call around to find a sports bar showing the game.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I do not have ESPN access because I am in Dish. But if you go to SMUmustangs.com and go to the USF game on the schedule. On the right hand side click on ESPN Watch. I have gotten the ESPN 3 feed this way for basketball and am hoping to for the game tonight.

mrydel-you can go to ESPN3 website too and pick up games directly off their website w/o go to the SMU site. I was just testing and got 3 really obscure games like Lehigh v Laffayette or something. I have Dish too but if it makes any difference I pick up all the ESPN channels. SMU v USF is listed

When I go to ESPN 3 it asks me to choose my provider with a drop doen box and does not give me Dish as an option.

hmmm-I'm pretty sure when I signed up a few years ago it was listed. I wonder if there is some change you can make on Dish side on their website. In Dallas you can change those immediately by adding, dropping or modifying options

I was on Dish for about 10 years and watched ESPN 3 but cannot get the BB games directly now. As mentioned on another thread it might ve the "exclusive" deal. I think Uverse has some kind of deal. But hopefully can get it through the SMU site.

I'm on Uverse and just dial up ESPN3 on my Mac computer and with the AppleTV I can watch the game on my gig screen in the den. Cannot you do the same with Dish? (Assuming you had AppleTV)

You sound like the kind of person that uses Internet Explorer. Step 1, switch to Chrome or Firefox. Step 2, install Adblock.

Here is what I found on google for ESPN 3. ESPN 3 is now available to everyone for immediate replays. To watch live you have to use WatchESPN. It is only available through certain providers and Dish and Direct are not included. Uverse, Verizon and some others are. So if you have Dish you cannot get WatchESPN and thus not get the game live. But I will repeat that I was able to use the WatchESPN link at SMUMustangs.com and get the basketball games and hopefully can for the football.

Not on Dish or Direct. See my reply to Stallion above.

well I'm on Dish though and I've accessed 5 Live games in recent minutes. None have been blocked. But alas none of the games on right now are listed as (Exclusive). I note on front page there is a tab entitled Remote Access. When I click that tab it says "You can access WatchESPN remotely using your AT&T account". I don't have ATT cable but do have ATT phone line and ATT UVerse computer line. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. You might want to check and see what it says when you click Remote Access tab

Everything I have is AT&T except television. I am not going to worry about it right now. I do think I can access it through the SMU site worst case. If not I will need to listen on the radio while I experiment with other things.

TimeWarner cable channel 1116. Trinity Hall is showing the game in the library area. 1st and 10 doesn't have TWC, so they won't be showing it.
