SEC PPV games, blackouts and espn3.com info ....

Postby Greenhead22 » Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:07 am

Your "How-to" guide for ESPN3.com
1. Watchespn.com and espn3.com are now the same. You'll be asked for an internet provider on any selected espn3 game.

2. If you do not already have an att.net email address, go register for one.

3. When you go on espn3.com and click on the game, you'll be asked for your internet provider. Select ATT and continue. The website cannot detect which internet you are using, thus the reason for them asking. Most, if not all internet lines are owned by ATT in some form or fashion. Doesn't matter if you have comcast, metrocast, etc, this should easily work out.

4. You'll be directed to the att.net login, so just login into your account. Once you do, you'll redirected back to espn3.com for game viewing.

5. If the game is blacked out, and 95% of State games will be due to location, google and download HotSpot Shield. PPV's are usually blacked out in the states that are offering the PPV, which would be MS and AL this weekend. It's a program that hides your isp location so there will be no blackout. During installation, it will ask several questions about homepage, default search engine, etc. Un-check each and every box during installation.

6. After it is installed, you should see a red square in the top right corner of your browser, as I do with Mozilla Firefox. Click on it to connect. Once it connects, it will go "green" and a new page will open up. Just close it and refresh your espn3 page. You'll probably have an advertisement pop-up appear at the top of the screen. Just click on the X to remove it at any time during the espn3 verifying process.

Nothing happens when I click on a game. And if I go to the "Get Access" tab it wants me to pick a TV provider. I have an att.net e-mail address but I cannot for the life of me get to a webpage to enter the login info. I used to be able to, but now I can't.

I've tried in IE and Firefox, nothing. I can't believe they made the site to where you can click on half the links on the page and nothing happens. Also, no matter if I type in espn360.com or espn3.com or watchespn.com, it redirects to the same webpage.

You can no longer sign up for an AT&T email and then get access to ESPN3, they figured that one out and put a stop to it.

Same here, with my iPad, but I was able to connect with my laptop.

If you're getting asked for a TV Provider, then you were selecting a game that wasn't available on "ESPN3." It was being carried on espn, espn2 or espnU.
