    B/R Live and ESPN+ are streaming services, they have nothing to do with your cable. Streaming on your phone/computer and mirroring is one way to do it, but it's way less than optimal. If you don't already have one, buy a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick (they can be had for as little as $25-30) plug it into one of your TV's HDMI ports, and use the B/R Live or ESPN app available on each device to watch the games directly on your TV. No need to DVR as replays of matches on both services are available on demand in the apps.

    Somehow I screwed up and forgot about our strange early KO today in Europa. So I didn't stream it at all. But no loss because the game sucked apparently. That's the life of an Arsenal fan these days.

    ANYWAY I did get an offer/code for 70% off B/R's monthly pass. What would that make my monthly price? And could I do it on a month-to-month basis rather than commit for a whole year?

    I bet it's 70% off the first month (so $3 total) and auto renews at full price moving forward? And yes you can do a monthly $10 pass - or $70 for the year.

    You're probably right, although they sneakily leave off the "first month" bit. If it were 70% off every month then I might do it. But otherwise, I'll just wait to see if I really need B/R for when my game isn't shown on TNT or TUDN.

    But I'm not going to be able to confirm whether your hunch is right because in order to use the promo code, I have to first signup with my email and credit card, which I'm not inclined to fork over at this point. But here's the wording in the email I got from Arsenal:

    TUDNXTRA does not work with DirecTV as the provider, and it seems to be the same story with most other providers. It looks like Fubo works. Are there any other providers that work with TUDNXTRA?

    Not spectrum (at least not as of last match day — I didn’t check this week as I already caved and purchased BR) and Sling doesn’t have any Univision channels. The only providers I know of with xtra are dish and Fubo (not including legacy accounts).

    Confirmed on Spectrum. No access to TUDNxtra games even with the full Univision / TDN / Unimas etc. package. I'm beyond annoyed, especially after talking to a Spectrum customer rep *before* subscribing, who told me I would have TUDNxtra with that package.

    If anyone knows what's going on, info would be appreciated. My guess is there's a tug of war going on between Univision/TUDN and Spectrum about how much Spectum should pay Univision/TUDN to let subscribers access the content. In the meantime, we are the big losers...

    How are you testing access to Xtra? When I go onto the main TUDN.com website, I don't really see any tab or reference to Xtra. Nor did I see any login pop-up for me to enter my provider credentials.

    Univision is probably like why release this for free when we could squeeze money out of it? Same thing happened eventually with NBC Gold. Likely getting some kickbacks from fubo, dish, etc.

    I signed up for the one week free trial of Fubo and TUDNXTRA is working with the Fubo login for the Europa games today.

    Just to do a theoretical test, I tried to watch one of today's live UCL matches and I did see the list of providers which included Optimum (mine) but when I clicked on it, it just flashed the login screen for <1sec and then back to the list of providers... rinse and repeat. Anyone else seeing that?

    Also, I am coming to the conclusion that TUDN does not offer full match replays or extended highlights, at least of UEL matches. Just short highlights and a bunch of other key moment clips. Is that right?

    Yep. You could watch replays of games that's on TV via UnivisionNow but that's only for 3 days...

    Not really Champions League related but it is Univision related...
    ...I kind of wish that they did their Zona Futbol for the International Euro Qualifying dates.

    It would be nice to hear the "Alertas" for National Team matches.

    The TUDN XTRA games are now available with DirecTV authentication today in the TUDN app. Did DirecTV and TUDN announce reaching an agreement for the XTRA games? Also, the video quality of the streams in the TUDN app has improved dramatically.

    Anyone on B/R live this morning unable to have it recognized you have a paid account? It's asking me to purchase all the games and not showing I have a subscription even though I do and it was working last night.

    Unfortunately, their customer support isn't available until 1PM.

    That never works with them, I had an issue a couple of months ago that I sent DMs on and never heard back.

    It turns the issue was on my end - they never billed me for November because my card had expired and unlike most other vendors I had the old card with, they didn't bother emailing me. The interesting thing is that even though my monthly subscription ended on the 19th, they let me go without updating it until today so I got a free 11 days in the end.
