Yep, lot's of ways to watch the games. Have at it. :thumb:

I happen to like the DirecTV approach because it doesn't tie up my Internet bandwidth. (Which ain't so hot for us, but that's another story and choice.) And I'm sure there are ways to record several games at once via streaming, but it's way easier to just tell the DirecTV box to get busy. We've been watching, or re-watching, recorded playoff games from last weekend -- in our own "highlight" mode -- right through the week. We're kinda bummed by the way the scheduled games overlap tomorrow, so we might miss recording parts of two of them, depending upon how long the early ones run.

I assume you can watch replays of games thru ESPN?

Yes, although I don't recall them ever doing a replay for an FCS game ... except for a few HBCU games. We generally record those too, when they replay a particularly interesting FBS game. Replays always come with lots of commercials, which we are "allergic" to ... so recording the replay allows us to buzz through those.

Yea - I may have to go down to Best Buy & get a recorder (if possible) to record streamed football & basketball games! Anyone know if that is doable? plus 2 events at same time?

For a guy born a generation too late, can someone explain how to record the live streamed ESPN3 games as we will be in our WGS seats?

I have an ESPN+ account. Will I be able to stream the game?

I'm pretty sure every game that is aired on ESPN3 via ESPN's app is re-watchable. So you don't need to set up to record it as it is done for you. You just need to select it in the ESPN app on whatever platform you're using. I'm not sure what the retention time is on them, though. It's at least a week as you can still select to watch the replay of SLU vs Villanova game.

How do you watch it on amazon prime?
