At least I'm not going to trust your review of it.
    I could have told you that Temptation Island and Cop Rock were going to suck, and I never watched a minute of either.

      So I see ESPN+ keeps adding programming to bolster their service, like putting MLB and NHL games on the service, and most recently with college hockey.


      Does anyone here use the service? I already have MLB.tv and NHL.tv, is there any reason to subscribe to ESPN+? From what I've seen, ESPN+ only simulcasts the home feed for NHL.

        I, too, have mlb.tv and nhl.tv, plus a VPN to avoid blackouts. I also get FOX sports and BTN2Go.

        I use ESPN+ for 3 down football and college hockey plus the odd International event that I am interested in.

              Got an email from Verizon today that they are in a pizzing contest with Di$ney and on 12/31 they could pull the plug on on the Di$ney owned channels.

                  From what I hear, PS Vue (can use Amazon Firestick) is the shizzle for sports. Something like $35/month gets you a LOT, including every FoxSports channel in the nation, which would obv cover all MN sports.

                    Except pro sports(?). You have to buy the subscription from MLB, NHL, NBA, etc., wouldn't you? Then you'd need a VPN to get around blackouts.

                      I figure if FSN carries it, you're good (in my area, the Twins or Wild). I haven't looked too hard into it, though.

                        It's $49.99 per month and you would get pro sports because you'd get ESPN and ESPN 2 as well as NBCSN and the local FSN. IDK how it works in regions with none FSN local networks.

                          Hulu Live TV is what I use and I get all the ESPNs and FSNs. Way more sports than I need.

                            In this case, Verizon is actually looking out for its consumers, trying to keep costs down from what Disney wants to charge. So they'll only increase prices $15/month, not $15.50.

                              I'm not sure ESPN has ever irritated me more than they did last night. They showed a match between Sharapova and Barty over a match between Tiafoe and Dimitrov. For those who don't know, which is probably just about everyone who isn't a tennis fan, Tiafoe is a very promising young prospect from Maryland who is in the middle of his first deep run in a grand slam. It's been over 15 years since we have had a prospect as promising Tiafoe and ESPN completely blew him off last night. It's not like Dimitrov isn't a fairly big name as well. The Sharapova match wasn't bad by any means, but this is the United States and they should be highlighting Americans. The only thing I can think of is that with Nadal and Fed playing later on maybe ESPN has some kind of policy about giving men and women equal coverage or something, but they really blew it last night.

                              Tiafoe wound up winning in four tight sets and is now in the quarters.
