Seton hall game is on ESPN360

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Our next game is on ESPN360?  What is that and where is it available?

[mu_hilltopper]

ESPN360 is a web-only service that is only available if your ISP has capitulated to ESPN's extortion and subscribed.  Chances are, they haven't, and you can't get it.

ESPN 360 is ESPN's new online broadband venture (http://espn360.com/)

They have begun streaming some games through that site much like another television channel.  Not everyone gets it even if they have a broadband connection as ESPN charges the ISPs for access to the site.  I have Verizon FIOS at home and Verizon subscribes to ESPN360 so I can access it through them.

If you're not sure whether you get it or not, just set your browse to that url and see what happens.

You have Verizon FIOS?  Perhaps you should set up a proxy for the rest of us!

there are other ways.. ways you can access it directly.. just need "inside" help the day of the game to determine what the direct link is...

I am sure "someone" will make that info available on chat..

problem is.. I will probably not be home when the game starts on Wednesday so I won't be able to be that "someone"

I might make it home by halftime tho........

I'll concur with that. Not sure where you get the inside help, but last year I browsed that site for like an hour before finding a link that opened to the live game. I've never been able to get there again, but I hope someone here can post the URI...

There is a way to enter the URL of the video stream and watch it in Media Player. I did this for the Winthrop-Wisconsin game after a Wintrop fan posted the link on the Badger board.

This was the address for that game:
http://proxy.espn.go.com/broadband/ebb2/asx/winthrop_120406.asx

So if the same template is followed the address for Wednesday might look like this:
http://proxy.espn.go.com/broadband/ebb2/asx/setonhall_012407.asx

Just something to keep in mind, hopefully someone can figure out how to get the exact address if that one doesn't work.
