For about $8-12, you can buy a cable to run from your computer to whatever large size flat screen HDMI cable ready TV you prefer.

But even without that, you can watch on your phone from anywhere with a signal, or on whatever size computer screen you have available.

Yep, you're right

Thanks. Reading the fine print:

In football, nearly 90 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable.

In men’s basketball, all conference controlled games will be televised. More than 63 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable, which will be a minimum of 107 games.

So, nobody promised 100% satellite, but everything is on TV or ESPN3, which can be on TV for the price of that little $8 cable.

Unless you have DirecTV...then you are screwed.

Get Dish. Tell them Ramen told you

I'm pretty sure I read this week that DirecTV had come to an agreement with ESPN to provide access to ESPN3, WatchESPN, etc. Not sure when it becomes effective, though.

Guess when that picture was going around I didn't "read the fine print". Still a lot better to have access to it now. Sucks that Wiziwig went down for DirecTV users

UCF and others got a HUGE jump in Hoop TV Exposure with the AAC's deal with ESPN...as even some games on ESPN3 is a big step up.

And yes, can't believe it took ESPN so long but for them to come to a new agreement with DirecTV to have access to ESPN3 was huge.

That's what I dont get. It says NationalTV coverage. Does ESPN3 count as that?

SMU and Cincy are both still asleep. SLOPPY

8 turnovers on the first 11 possessions

Looks like Cincinnati is going to get a very big win

More thanks for the good news.

The link indicates early 2015 as the effective date. That could mean tomorrow or March 1st I guess, but still good news.

DIRECTV customers will be able to access the live linear feeds and video-on-demand content from all ESPN and Disney cable networks and ABC owned and operated TV stations in and out of the home on the authenticated WATCH services – including WatchESPN, WATCH Disney Channel, WATCH Disney XD, WATCH Disney Junior, WATCH ABC Family and WATCH ABC – using Internet-enabled devices in early 2015 and soon via the DIRECTV Everywhere app on iOS and Android phones and tablets, and directv.com.
