Does anyone here ever watch Pac 12 Now app (plus/live) for live games?

I want to watch a game that is only available on that app. I can get it on phone, computer devices but I want to stream it on tv as well. I use Roku to stream, and I do not see it available there. Is it not available via Roku? thx.

That seems strange. Worst case scenario you can hdmi from computer to tv.

Yep. I am waiting to hear back. But the app isn’t there on Roku. I have a few technologically challenged people that will only watch games etc on tv size. I want to make it as easy as possible for them. .....it’s nice that no Pac 12 Network subscription is required. (I no longer have Pac 12 Network since switching from Dish to YYTV.) .....We watch a lot of games on tv via ESPN app etc...SEC Network plus or ACC Network Extra etc...or Fox Sports Go ....all via their apps on Roku.

Just to follow up, Mike Yam from Pac 12 Network was kind enough to reply when few others would, and he told me that Pac 12 Now app is not available on Roku, only Google Chromecast, Apple TV etc...(he uses Apple TV)

I can do HDMI with device with tv or get a Google Chromecast for $35. (this is multiple locations though)

It is strange to me that Pac 12 Now is not available on Roku.

Thanks for the replies.

Those app won't work since you have YTTV.

You don't say.

Huh? FS Go, ESPN app, etc all work fine with YTTV credentials. Just click "all providers", "more tv providers" (or something similar) and search for YouTube. Then login and voila!

For example: https://www.foxsportsgo.com/register?device_type=web&device_id=195cc660-5f59-11ea-9a31-91df9000c0b1&redirect_url=/

Didn't work last week. I'll download to try again. Not the worst case, as the YTTV app works the same.

Yep.

All I had to do on Roku screen is go to search and download each app that wasn't already there. We watch a ton of internet only games on the ESPN app on tv for example. I use my YTTV log in to get these apps just as I used to use my Dish provider log in before.

What I cannot figure out is why I can download Pac 12 Now app several places (phones, tablets etc...except on Roku with the tv. These are free, no subscription required live sports. But Roku does not carry Pac 12 Now app (also known as plus or live)

Nope. Still nothing on the apps on my phone. Maybe Roku is different.

You should be able to download those apps on your phone, ESPN, Fox Sports Go etc....and use YTTV as your provider. If you do not see YTTV as a choice, you can add it in each app. Then log in. If you still have trouble, delete the apps and re-install. They should 100% work then.

I also watch all of these apps on my phone using YTTV as the provider log in.

I see what I was doing wrong on the ESPN app. I was clicking on the logo, which is just an add page. ESPN is big to have to get espn3 programs. Yet, the others are pointless, since I have the YouTube TV app. Which is sweet, by the way!

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #337 on:** March 05, 2020, 09:57:07 PM »

I got ESPN to work on my Roku, phone and Samsung! I got Fox Sports to work on my Roku and Samsung. Trouble with Fox Sports Go. It keeps kicking me back to download the app, which I did.

Apparently the YTTV deal w/Sinclair only includes FS Regionals in primary markets.

For example: If you live in say Des Moines Iowa, and you used to get FS North and/or FS Midwest, you no longer get those channels. It appears to be this way all over the country. From Florida panhandle to parts of Ohio etc....as it appears to penalize people not located in the larger primary market for the FS Regional channel. Some people in Indy used to get multiple FS Regionals, only get one now. Fox Sports South is no longer in Charleston, Arkansas etc...on and on...

It doesn't affect me but it's unfortunate for some others.

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #339 on:** March 06, 2020, 11:17:00 AM »

Sounds like the deal was raw between YTTV and Sinclair. Better than nothing for YTTV. I'm glad we will have it in Wisconsin.

Let me know what Direvtv has to say when you call to cancel (if you call rather than do it online).

Not too shocking. DTV was great when cable was the only real competition. But now that services like YTTV and others provide everything most people want at a fraction of the price, I don't understand why anyone with decent internet service and speed would keep DTV. It makes sense in rural areas, but that's about it....

Agree completely. Unless you are a NFL ticket fan, but no other reason.

Hmmm...this DTV news is interesting.

With YTTV, are you able to access regional sports networks? Ie: will I be able to access MU games on FSWisconsin if I live out of state, like I am with the Sportspack on DTV?

That has really been the only thing holding me back in recent years.

No. You'll probably get your local RSN, but there's no option (right now) to get out-of-market RSNs.

I had to read that article again. Does not say Direct TV is going away, they have something like 15 million customers. It says they are focusing on broadband tv except for rural areas. The headline and the article do not match.
