Does anyone know if games on FS Wisconsin are available on Fox Sports GO streaming app if you live outside of Wisconsin? For those of you without DirecTV that live outside of Wisconsin, are you simply unable to watch games on FS Wisconsin?
Thanks! Looking into switching TV providers, but need to know if those handful of games each season on FS Wisconsin will be unavailable to me.
-
FS1, FS2, FOX and BTN are no longer available on FOX Sports Go. Just local RSN.
To watch programing on FS1, FS2, FOX or BTN you need the Fox Sports App. Or FOXNOW APP.
To answer the question if the game is on FS Wisconsin, that will at some point be re-brand since the FOX Sports Networks were sold can't be since in the outside markets.

Can you elaborate on what exactly you mean in the last sentence?
I have always been able to get FS Wisconsin via DirecTV in Minnesota with their "Sports Pack". Basically get every single college basketball game televised. But I am trying to determine if there is another TV provider / service that I would be able to access the games on FS Wisconsin. A good chunk of games are that channel every year and I am definitely not willing to lose that access.

So, you paid/have FS Wisconsin in Minnesota. So, you could stream it. That might not be the case if you change to a different paid TV service. I have Spectrum Cable and I can't get if I wanted to FS North for Twins & T-Wolves games. It's not a plan they offer. I believe the Sports Pack on DirecTV for all the local Fox Sports Regional Networks is a DirecTV thing.

Yes - I currently get FS Wisconsin in MN through DTV. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get it without DirecTV. I believe the answer is no from what I am aware of - but I imagine that many other MU fans who live out of WI that have tried to figure out how to get the MU games on FS Wisconsin.
And to be clear, I am only referring to MU / CBB games. Obviously pro sports games are blacked out on those channels - I cannot watch Brewers or Bucks games on FS Wisconsin. Would need to purchase MLB or NBA package.

Thanks for the tip. Got the FS app now!

I am not sure how it would work in MN, but Hulu Live has FS-WI at least for WI residents.

I would say if it's not broke, don't fix it

It’s broke cause it costs me over $200 a month for just tv.
-
Anyone here use PS VUE? Appears for $54 + $10 sports pack you can access all channels MU plays on, including Fox Sports Wisconsin. Gonna give it a whirl.

Not sure if you have tried it or not, but YouTube TV has all those channels for $50, no sports pack needed.

Yes. That does suck.

Wowzer, that's a good chunk of change for just tv!
Report back what you do for those who are considering the same thing.
Also, I've heard if you sign up for a streaming service and use a VPN when you verify your account to show you're in WI (or have someone in WI verify your account) you can get WI channels. Can't say for sure though, that's only what I heard 3rd party.

What on earth are you subscribing to? The avg Directv customer doesn’t come close to paying that much. Sports Pack is only $13.99....what else do you have?

Correct. I've had it for just over a year now. The price+selection far outweigh the negative of the slight (30 sec) delay from being "live".
It's the only streaming service that offers every single channel MU could possibly play on (ie. FOX, CBS, all the FS Affiliates, BTN and BTN alts, all the ESPNs, YES, NBC Sports regionals, NESN, CBSSports, TBS, TNT, TruTV). Plus you'll get replays of games on random FS affiliates in the week following the games. I tried to tell everyone at the beginning of last season... ;)

I don't live in the Midwest, but I was able to watch every single game last year live from my house or streaming on my phone. If your main goal is to never miss an MU game, IMO, PSVue is the only way to go.

I use it living in Milwaukee area, it still has a slightly better channel offering than YouTube TV and can watch every MU game that is on without having to use other apps.

Choice + movie channels + sports pack + nfl Sunday ticket. Movie channels and nfl Sunday ticket are obviously what causes the expense. I only have NFL Sunday ticket for the red zone channel, which you can get for much cheaper on other providers. Generally have been able to get DTV to give it to me for free or greatly reduced in years past. No luck this year, which is why I’m switching.
Started a 5 day trial of PS VUE yesterday. Pretty much sold on it. Does appear to get on Fox regional sports networks, so should be able to get games on FS Wisconsin.
$54 + $10 sports pack. No contract. Canellable monthly. Seems like a no brainer.

Was always a big DTV guy, so never even thought to switch. But getting too expensive.
So you have zero blackout issues with Vue on MU games?

No issues last year. The only blackout issues I’ve ever had were MLB games.

I can confirm that this generally works. You can also use browser-based geolocation apps/"hacks" to manually spoof your geolocation. This is usually the better strategy anyway, and it's free, but I think people tend to buy into the concept of VPNs without really understanding what they intend to do.
Some streaming services will throttle or make unavailable when it detects your traffic through a VPN.

We switched to YouTube TV and are very happy with it. I think I got all games last year, although in the back of my mind I think I missed one...not sure if that was before we switched over though.
Anyway, YTTV and high speed internet connection with Showtime and HBO for less than $110 per month. If we dropped HBO/SHO we would be mid $90s. This is tolerable.....

Are you using a VPN or something to modify your location or did you signup with an address in Wisconsin? I use view but only get the local regional Fox Sports.

Neither. Do you have the sports pack? That is what allows you to get the out of region Fox Sports channels.

People can watch the FSW games on WCIU 2 in Chicago which is free with an TV antenna. It's on YouTube TV as well, so I get all games on there.

Every time Directv raises their pricing I call and tell them I want to cancel and I get a huge discount. 20-40%. I've done it 4-5 times. Just ask for the retention department or you can have some fun arguing with the first 2-3 people who they put you with before you get to the retention department.

Thanks for all the good info in here. I want to cut the cord, too. Good to hear some first hand experiences

That option is going the way of the dodo.

The last time I tried this, they let me cancel. Then, weeks later, they tried to win me back with a much better offer, but it still required a 2-year commitment (with the price going up significantly in Year 2). Plus, I had emotionally moved on, saying, "Eff you, DirecTV!" after I got the runaround.
Haven't missed it.
VUE sounds very, very enticing, even just getting it for 2 months (Dec. 4 through Feb. 1) would cover the 6 games I can't watch with my current setup (except the 3/7 St. John's game if I canceled before then). Will be very tempting ... unless something better comes along before that.
Thanks for all the great info, everybody.

This maybe a dumb question, but here goes.
You would need to have a play station in order to get PS Vue?

No. You can use PlayStation, but also Roku, AppleTV, Firestick, etc.

I’ve had DirecTV for a number of years. About 2 years ago I canceled at the end of my contract and tried PSVue, Sling, and DirecTV Now. All of them were okay, but at the time none of them had a good cloud DVR service. Also, my wife hated the onscreen guides and having to use our Roku remotes for everything. I ended up taking a good offer from DirecTV and signed another 2 year contract. They extended me for an extra month at the same rate, but next month I’m going to give Hulu Live a shot. They seem to have everything I need for less than I’m currently paying DTV. If it’s not a good experience I will see if I get another DTV offer, or try Dish. Anything but Spectrum.

I can't wait until YTTV is added to the Fire stick/TVs. Roku is okay, but I far prefer the Fire UI.

You seem averse to YouTube TV?

Not at all. I’m just odd in that I really like having the History Channel which YouTube TV doesn’t offer. Aside from the sports, which I can get on Hulu, I need my fix of American Pickers and Pawn Stars 😁.
