Well that stinks... And too bad they don't do on demand...

I am headed for Caddyshack at noon... A bowl of their great chili and a micro or two...

Are you in Montana? I guess some or most of SWX is carrying the game. If I thought I could stream Montana SWX here in Idaho I would do that but that rascally location thingy screws me up...

COOL. Thank you for the update...

For CAT/griz we will be in Spokane at Jack and Dan's. Shoot, only one Root game for home viewing. Sure do miss Pluto.

ESPN+ can be subscribed monthly. Cancel it when the season is over, or just keep on watching basketball.

Yup, this. Works anywhere and with a Chromecast, you can stream to your TV.


griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.

I assumed so because I thought when Root has the tv rights they also have the streaming rights. However, when you look at the MSU schedule it lists ESPN+ on the right so it might be available.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

This was my train of thought, too. I was confused when they listed ESPN+ on the schedule but maybe its for people that don't live in the north west? Nothing a VPN can't fix I guess.

My understanding is that ESPN+ will show ROOT games only if you don't live in the ROOT or AT&T Sports footprint.

I have Direct TV stream and have Root Sports. I have the Choice Package. I do not see channel numbers on my phone. I believe choice is the lowest subscription with the regional networks.

I have youtubeTV with the upgraded sports package, but I don't have Root. My ESPN app says the game is available on ESPN+ (I live in Kalispell), so I'm not sure if it's blacked out or not. I'll be at the game but I'd like to figure this out before Cat/griz!

Dang, blacked out for me too. Looks like the cheapest DirecTV Streaming package with ROOT is like $85/month. Looks like I’m not watching this one.

Someone mentioned a radio app that they downloaded to their phone and were able to look up and listen to most college football games around the country. Anybody know what it is called? Thank you.
