Espn 360.

Anyone know much about this thing? The only way to watch the IU-Minnesota game tommorow is through this, but it keeps telling me that my internet provider doesn't carry it.

Has anyone ever watched a game through this?

What do I need to do to watch this game?

Kill yourself if you are actually planning on watching that game.

Hey, IU is playing for their first bowl game since 93, in a game that I think they will win, and it looks like I won't even be able to watch it.

Life is cruel.

Looks like your ISP has to have a contract for it! Good luck, Playadlc.

Re: Espn 360.

I have Verizon DSL and I carry ESPN360.

Go to the website to see - that's about the only way you are going to find out.

Honestly - its a nice idea - but it's like the old days where you crammed around a 9 inch TV. It works ok, though.

Might want to check Wikipedia to see what is listed as a sign that the Apocolypse is upon us. One has to be IU Football getting to a bowl.

What is there now.... 102 Bowl Games for NCAA Div. I?!?!?

When does Temple get their bid? They did beat BGSU last weekend.

Re: Espn 360.

Why can't ESPN do exactly the same thing that every other pay site does? If you want their premium content, you pay them and they provide you a login ID and password to view that content.

Something just stinks here. ESPN is apparantly trying to turn the internet into cable TV, where they cajole the cable provider into paying ESPN and spreading the cost out to all customers, rather than forcing each customer that wants ESPN 360 to pay for it directly.

Honestly, I hope my ISP never pays for this service.

Re: Espn 360.

actually probably better we didn't see this game.
It's apparantly uglier than the score would indicate.
