Charter is blocking the ESPN3 feed.................


Griz game was replaced last night with some kind of update report. The others are still available. We went by the charter office to confirm this morning.

Which game were you trying to watch last night?

A couple of days ago the griz game was in the up coming events menu. Went to check last night it was no longer there but had been replaced with a a report program instead.

The game is still on the main site: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/#type/upcoming/sport/football/channel/espn3/startDate/20131207/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But on the watch ESPN chanel on Roku By charter its no longer available
 
For what it's worth, I have Apple TV and was able to watch all the playoff games last week using the WatchESPN app and it worked awesome.

I was (and am) not able to use the WatchESPN app via my iPhone though as it requires me to sign in with with my Bresnan/Optimum/Charter (that was a lot of trial and error in itself) only to be told it was not available via my carrier...

For Apple TV though, it never asked me to sign in and worked perfectly. You can get them at Best Buy for $99. I also saw some cheaper on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/o97q2fy" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Unless you were somehow able to activate the watch ESPN Application on your Apple TV, this will only work if you have a Mac computer and are able to airplay the game from your computer to your Apple TV device. At least in my experience, because optimum/charter won't allow the watch ESPN application on Apple TV/iPad to be activated.

Nope. I don't have a Mac and was not using airplay to stream anything from my phone.

The Watch ESPN app is a native AppleTV app and it never asked me to sign-in as it shows ESPN content other than ESPN3.

I did see some programs were locked, but all of the FCS playoff games were available last weekend.

I'll have to tinker with it.
 
I just grabbed a chromecast to tab cast the game to my tv. The watch ESPN app and website have the game upcoming and neither say they are subject to blackout. But I do connect with Midco not charter.
