If you have a smart TV, it might have the ESPN app on it. If it does, use it to sign up (If not, if you have a set-top box like Apple TV or one of the Chrome devices, use the ESPN app on it). It will probably tell you to enter an address into a browser (on your phone, tablet, or computer) to finish the activation. One you're done there, go back to the app on your TV (or set-top box) and put in the user name and password there and you should be set.
Only 9.99 per month, pretty good for 4 griz games and almost all the big sky games+

If you have the right Verizon phone package you get ESPN+ for free.

------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT STREAMING -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Grizzlygasoline said:
Streaming refers to the continuous transfer of smaller files so that you don't have to have a large hard drive space just in order to be able to download larger files (like multiple hours of video).
With streaming, you also don't have to wait for the entire large file to download before opening it. (For hypothetical example, say video length to download time is 1:1. A 1 hour long video would take an hour to download before being able to open. But if you broke the larger hour long file into a bunch of 10 second segments, you only have to wait 10 seconds before being able to play that first file. Then, while you are watching that first file the next 10 seconds is transferring in the background so you get to watch the whole hour of video "seamlessly" while only waiting that initial shorter 10 second time overall.)
Since you don't have to permanently download or possess large amounts of physical videos like VHS, DVDs, or Blu-Rays, streaming allows ease of portability, too. If you have a Dish package, it is limited to where you installed the equipment. As long as you have access to the internet, you can take your living room TV viewing elsewhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USING ESPN+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is for a basic setup like watching on your computer, no need to worry about downloading an app unless you want to put it on your TV):
ESPN+ content is hosted on the internet at https://www.espn.com/watch/schedule/_/type/live/channel/ESPN_PLUS.
-Note the "Live Now", "Upcoming", and "Replay" links towards the top (3rd line of text down).
-Click "Upcoming"
-Click "SAT SEP 16" on the new line of text just below
-Scroll down to "Ferris State (MI) vs. Montana" under the Football section (visiting team is always listed first)
-Or here's the direct link for this weekend's game: https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/79bed6ce-fffb-4588-bb59-befeaf9f5080
-As already noted, ESPN+ is a subscription service and requires payment or an existing bundled deal
Likewise, you can view replays of the Butler and Utah Tech games (or most of this year's soccer or volleyball matches) by first selecting "Replay" then selecting the date and scrolling to find.
Here's the direct link for Sep 9's "Montana vs. Utah Tech": https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/a743e5f0-3700-482f-a6dd-bb94bb42c8eb
and for Sep 2's "Butler vs. Montana": https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/5a9f0c78-e5ea-4b80-a77c-f989e46b3c9a
