It is PPV. It will be on ESPN3 outside of blackout areas.

Is there any way to check out these blackout areas?

Can one order it on PPV outside of the blackout areas?

I'm thinking that's a 'yes', but unsure yet...

Typically anywhere you can order it on PPV, it is blacked out on ESPN GamePlan and ESPN3. I don't see any blackout maps available yet, but one could assume the PPV is available in the state of Alabama and thus it will be blacked out there.

Well, I have DishTV, and when I search their website for Alabama Football I get no listing for the game. Maybe ESPN has not put it on the schedule yet....:conf2:

I see you have an Alabama address, you will have to view on ppv. It's not available on TV. Otherwise It looks like you'll be listening to Eli Gold!

Well, if I can't buy the TV feed, then I WILL be listening to Eli. And that's not so bad..........:BigA:

Right on! I guess that's one for cable, I have Direct tv,and like you I would have to purchase ESPN360 to get it along with a jillion others. It's probably the only one not televised. At least I can watch it on my computer. BTW, does your IP carry ESPN3? that's a possibility.

 

[paul02085]

So if you have ESPN3 it is free?

Opps. Thats the new name for ESPN360 isnt it?

Yes it is. That's how I watch all the 'Bama games that aren't on national television. Works great for me!

Don't know...but I will check!!!!

 

[TideMan09]

Last years PPV games were streamed online..I imagine the San Jose St game will be to..

Thanks. Just my luck. I am changing from Dish Network to Comcast Cable on 9/8. Almost positive Comcast has ESPN3 but Dish does not.

Soooo.... looks like i will have to buy it from probably ESPN Gameplan (am in atlanta).

Thanks again.

PS- is ESPN3 shown on your computer monitor?

Yeah, I guess they recently changed the name from espn360 to espn3. It's the same thing.

espn3 is just a website where you watch games. Your ISP will determine if you can get it, not your cable provider.

Yah, but even with fast connection speeds the picture isn't great.

If possible, I buy them per game on PPV for the better picture quality.

The picture always looks pretty good to me, and I have a converter box I use to hook up the laptop to the tv so the whole family can watch.

It may not be as good as PPV, but it looks fine and it's free!

Keep in mind along with the name change from ESPN360 to ESPN3, the service changed technologies and now offers a higher picture quality. I watched a few World Cup games on ESPN3 and it came through really crisp. If your bandwidth drops though so does the picture quality. We'll see how it does when a whole lot more people are hitting the site during College Football season.
