Online video subscription
Last year, I watched as many BG football games online as I could find (including some very low-quality bootleg feeds.) This year, I'd rather just pay for a subscription to watch the games in one place. What is a good website to do this? I've done it for Michigan games, but have not for BG. I believe the MAC website that has similar features but wanted to ask about it here.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you have ESPN3 all but the Akron and UMass games will be available on there. If I'm not mistaken the MAC has video feeds for all conference games not picked up by ESPN3.

Re: Online video subscription
Thanks, but I do not have cable which is why I am looking for an online subscription.

Re: Online video subscription
I don't have cable either, but for some reason I get to watch ESPN3. Also, I'm able to stream it to my iPhone...which will come in handy this weekend.
I've heard mixed reviews on the MAC streaming service, but if it were me I would probably go that route. It's much better than hoping to find streams online then being forced to listen to the radio broadcast. Only happened to me once, but I never want to go down that dark road again. I still have nightmares.

You may be able to subscribe to ESPN3 without cable, worth looking into. I'm fairly certain no one can show the games if ESPN3 is showing them, unless you can find a bootleg website.billchase2 wrote:Thanks, but I do not have cable which is why I am looking for an online subscription.

Re: Online video subscription
I actually don't mind a radio broadcast game. If the weather is nice, a couple cold ones on the back porch with the game on is one hellava nice way to spend the afternoon. The radio broadcast is IMO a much better game call. It's too bad the broadcast delays don't make it appealing to listen to the radio broadcast while watching ESPN3.Bassdrummin wrote:I don't have cable either, but for some reason I get to watch ESPN3.

Re: Online video subscription
Ohh that's right. I forgot that I actually watched a few games via ESPN3 last year without cable. Cool, I may go that route again.

I didn't realize that we could watch ESPN3 on an iPhone w/o a cable subscription. I'll look into that too. Thanks!Bassdrummin wrote:I don't have cable either, but for some reason I get to watch ESPN3. Also, I'm able to stream it to my iPhone...which will come in handy this weekend.

Just got it working on my iPhone! Awesome. Maybe I'll stream it to my TV via AirPlay. Thanks again!Bassdrummin wrote:I don't have cable either, but for some reason I get to watch ESPN3. Also, I'm able to stream it to my iPhone...which will come in handy this weekend.

ESPN is changing their coverage of games on ESPN3 and It seems like there is the possibility that more games won't be available on ESPN3 for all people.Falcon137 wrote:If you have ESPN3 all but the Akron and UMass games will be available on there.

As of right now, according to their coverage map, the BG/UF game will not be available on ESPN3 on Saturday.

True, but that doesn't address the original question, nor solve the issue of someone without cable.

Re: Online video subscription
Agree!
I just didn't want someone to come on and read the last couple posts and think it wasn't on anyplace.

Looks like I'll have to use one of the bootleg ESPN feeds I found on XBMC. It will be lower quality, but I will not let ESPN win this one.

Re: Online video subscription
Have you looked at changing your ISP? I know Frontier (formerly Verizon in Ohio) DSL offers ESPN3 as part of their DSL package.
