Wow! So that means everyone who was gonna watch it on espn3 can't now? In the Alabama and Cali states that is.

OK Got ESPN Gameplan for 1 day. Actually calling them was quick and painless.

When I was living up there, I think it was in 2007, Bama played Houston and it WAS available on ESPN Gameplan. But some nincompoop there at Comcast added it to their blackout list during the week and it wasn't shown on Comcast ESPN Gameplan in the Atlanta area.

Just typing this memory makes my blood boil again.

I've been in ATL since 2004. They've done that at least twice. Nothing like having to haul butt to a sports bar 5 minutes before kickoff just to see the game after you've already got the grill going and the beer cold.

Yeah, you'll have to call them and they'll charge you an extra $5.

I was going to do the same thing until I found out our telephone line wasn't hooked up to do that. I ordered online. You just sign in, and it takes about 3 minutes or so to get it ordered. They will charge you extra if you call them. Why I don't know, but they do.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

Yeah, you'll have to call them and they'll charge you an extra $5.

You can also order online if you have your account set up online. They won't charge the extra money. I did it online and the total was $34.95.

Does that mean "NO" ESPN PPV in California and Alabama?

Or just the ESPN3 internet feeds?

Thanks

I take it to mean no ESPN3 feeds. You will have to pay the $30+ to watch the game through PPV if you are in Alabama or Cali. ESPN Gameplan will not work either if you live in those two states.

This isn't anything new. It's the same way they handled it last year on ESNP360. It only affects the ESPN 3 free feed over the internet and isn't connected to the PPV broadcast of the game. PPV would be pointless if everyone who wanted to see the game could do so for free by other means. It's just handled by proximity to the schools that are involved.

Are you sure?

Just called Verizon Tech support in Southern California and the Tech refunded my $25 because he said the ESPN Gameplan PPV Alabama/SJSU was being blocked out in all of Cal and Ala........Internet and PPV.

Just noticed they didn't shut off my Gameplan PPV channels (even though they stated a refund), so I will see at 6pm CST.

I'm not sure if there is a separation between the ESPN gameplan and ESPN 3 anymore. ESPN has very complicated and flaky blackout policies because of all the different contracts they carry. But it's just ridiculous that the only people who would care about a particular game would be blacked out from actually buying it on PPV.

But then again, I live in SW Alabama and Atlanta Braves games are blacked out on ESPN in my area on my DirecTV, but the local Mediacom cable doesn't black them out. Go figure. Blackout policies nationwide are a big mess and there no standardization.

 

[BAMAfan777]

Amen to that!

See my post on black out areas on ESPN3.com.! :BigA:

You should get it on ESPN3.com since you are in KY, but it will be blacked out for Alabama residents.

Corrected blackout map

You are not subjected to a blackout for this event.

Alabama & California, my bad. :redface:
