I am getting conflicting information by reading through the forums so I will ask directly. On the ESPN website under watchespn are COX customers only allowed to watch ESPN3 even if they pay for cable and internet through cox and have ESPN on the cable package?
When I go to ESPN and go to WATCHESPN it has a lock on everything except for ESPN3 after I log into my COX account.
I apologize my question is: I have cox cable, internet, and phone. on my cable I get ESPN through the cable package. when I go to watch espn the only thing it lets me watch is ESPN3.
Should I be able to also watch ESPN (i.e. sportcenter) as well?
When I go to watchESPN the only thing that is unlocked for viewing is ESPN3
In summary I do not want to watch ESPN3, I want to watch ESPN should I be able to do this online?
Im not surprised you got conflicting information. Not only is it pretty complicated, but ESPN keeps changing their rules. I tried to work out a summary, but after writing it and re-reading it, it would have only further confused you. Instead, I offer these two ESPN FAQ that break down the issues. If you have any specific question, please ask.
specifically do I have to have an additional subscription to be able to watch the different ESPN videos using WATCHESPN. It states that all I have to have is an eligible service provider, which COX is listed in the drop down menu, and I will be able to watch ESPN, ESPN2...etc however, when click on a video, it pops up to select provider. I select COX. It then redirects me to log in to my COX account. Once I log into my COX account the ESPN3 videos ONLY are unlocked for viewing. The ESPN, ESPN2 etc... videos are still locked.
I have a guy sitting right next to me that has VERIZON FIOS. He clicks on a video. selects VERIZON FIOS, logs in and is able to watch whatever he wants. I have cable through COX. I get ESPN as a channel from my regular cable. I don't have any additional sports packages. I am just trying to watch the SUNDAY COUNTDOWN on ESPN on a computer.
Thanks Becky, I just needed to know that it wasn't something additional I had to subscribe to from COX. I will figure it out. Thanks again to all that replied.
