Title: ESPN & HULU & mystery
Post by: Swampy on January 17, 2026, 12:35:20 PM
I have the Disney Bundle and a Google Chrome device hooked up to my television. But when I start the ESPN app, select last night's  Cornell/Princeton game, and try to start it, I just run into corporate blather. Instead of the game starting, the screen shows a QR code and a 6-character PIN. The instructions only say: (1) go to https://espn.com/stream and enter the PIN. and (2) Follow the steps and allow your TV to refresh.


So, on my computer I go to https://espn.com/stream and enter the PIN. It then shows a screen of icons, and I choose HULU. I then see a screen saying "Ready, Set, Stream" with an area, "Link to your provider." So, I choose HULU again, and come to an instruction page with this entry for HULU: 
Hulu + Live TV

Steps to Activate:

Sign in to your ESPN app or via ESPN.com using your My Disney credentials.
That's it!  Your ESPN Unlimited entitlement is included with your Hulu + Live TV subscription.
But there's no place for My Disney credentials.


And exactly how does a TV "refresh"? I tried shutting it off and restarting it, but that didn't work.


I can't believe I'm the only one having such problems.


(Oh, BTW, on a different TV I can watch the game without issue.)

You could try...
Restart the Google device by power cycling it and if necessary clear the cache in the ESPN app.  Also please do this on your knees with your hands folded.
