Yep you would get all United matches if they moved to +. They'll probably talk to NBC Sports DC about an arrangement but it'd probably be for free or a time buy.
I sorta like those Aussie start times lol. Gives me something to watch while I get ready for work haha
ESPN watch and plus not working on my Android/Galaxy phone for the past couple of weeks. When I use the ESPN app, there is just a blank black screen where the live and on-demand videos are supposed to appear. Anyone else with this issue? (note, resetting my phone doesn't help).
Uninstalling and re-installing the app should work, something similar happened on an Android tablet of mine.
Weird quirk on the ESPN app on Android/iOS (although not present on the streaming apps for Roku/FireTV) is that the replays of the espn3 matches don't have a pause feature. Noticed this watching some Euro qualifiers, you can do the usual 10 sec FF/REW but the only way to "pause" is to back out of the game and then select it again to watch where it will pick up where you left off. I imagine this is a function of the inability to "live DVR" espn3 stuff so they just do away with a pause button altogether on those. This doesn't apply to stuff on + where you can pause without issue and "live DVR".
Who the hell needs a pause button anyway. We didn't have it in the 1970's so why would we need it now?
I forgot to complain about this the other day, probably because of the subsequent positive match results (from my perspective), but ESPN+ had a pretty unforgivable screw-up on Tuesday. Finland v. Armenia, honestly as big of a match as Finland as ever played, kicked off during the 9 a.m. (Pacific) time slot while all other Euro qualifiers that day kicked off at 11:45 a.m. However, ESPN+ had the Finland match kickoff time listed at 11:45 a.m., so it was unwatchable for at least the first 20 minutes. Fortunately, I was able to find one "unofficial" stream at that point that I used on my tablet until halftime, by which point ESPN+ had fixed its error. Anyway, ESPN needs to pay a little more attention to start times, even if it's only like 11 people who are hard done by when it screws up.
Yeah, there's a bit of sloppiness by virtually everyone these days. I've noticed NBC numerous times publishing the wrong info about their scheduled EPL airings. And in other news the NYT makes numerous rudimentary spelling/grammar mistakes in every paper. Sadly it may be just a sign of the times.
Actually fully married for too many years than I care to count! And I'm a big-time addict of pause/ffwd/rwnd
The commentator for LAFC v Galaxy compared it to a Boca x River match. smh! Must be auditioning for a BeIN job with comments like that. The comment was particularly amusing given that it was made on espn2, after the game got bumped from the main channel for a college football game .
Touché! Yeah that almost fvcked me up again. Luckily I had added +1hr record time to the first match, which ended up covering the first 30mins of El Classico. And unless I'm wrong they fairly unceremoniously switched between channels at that 30' mark. Maybe the commentators said something but I was kind of tuning them out. There should've been some sort of big warning graphic flashed on the screen about the impending channel switch... I didn't see that, at least not in the few mins just before the switch. ESPN has done this kind of thing quite a bit in the past. And IMO more so than other carriers, e.g. Fox. I find it fairly customer-unfriendly. And certainly it shows you where soccer ranks in their overall sport/tournament priorities.
Yup, no warning or information where to find the continuation of what they themselves defined as "the most hyped match in MLS history". Didn't even wait for the ball to go out of play to make the switch either.
Here's a bit of the tables being turned. As we all know, every channel sticks with a live event. Fox used to schedule actual TV shows at 7:30pm on Sundays and join them in progress if the NFL games ran long in some areas. Other parts of the country (I'm assuming) would see the whole TV show. Now they do it right with their OT show. CBS seems to delay programming. https://awfulannouncing.com/league-...ouisville-miami-opener-basketball-soccer.html
Was looking in to the ESPN+ Disney+ Hulu bundle logistics and noticed something that others here may want to flag if considering: https://www.newsweek.com/disney-plu...le-features-cost-price-live-tv-no-ads-1471115 * Subscribers [to the reduced price bundle of 3] will also get a similarly limited version of ESPN+, with the bundle version allow two devices to be used at once rather than the usual five. *
I heard rumor of Disney+ crashing yesterday. Upon launch? And the party line was "we didn't anticipate the amount of interest". Ha.
Verizon Customers get 1 Year free of Disney+... I would still rather pay Yearly subscriptions to Disney+ and ESPN+ rather than bundling...
well, there is all the people going to check it out with the 7-day free trial. I’m sure many will be gone after their trial is over, and it will stabilize.
And just as I post that, last week, their primetime shows were delayed and it messed up my recordings. Does anyone know a DVR that is smart enough to record an 8pm show from 8:13 to 8:48 if the show gets delayed 15 minutes? The U-Verse DVR records an 8pm show with a bit of a buffer at either end of the show, but I don't think any DVR (AFAIK) is "smart" enough to recognize a change if the guide doesn't pick it up.
Wouldn't it be easy to set the end time for recording later than the scheduled end time? It's easy to do that on my DVR.
