We could have used that bar circa 2000 when you needed to find a bar for a college hockey or tournament viewing event and only they had access to some oddball satellite network. So much better now with streaming and currently with streaming that has decent video quality, no dropouts and the camera guy actually tracks the puck.

People still whine, though.

You're in a chair in the sky.

ESPN+ going up to $9.99/month or $99.99 a year in August, a 43% increase.

I hate to think of Disney as the people's company, but hey, if Ron DeSantis hates them, they can't be all bad.

The price of the Disney Bundle (= ESPN+, Disney+, Hulu) is not going up. Disney has painted itself into the marketing corner by treating the Bundle niche as something families can share, even if they're in different zip codes. So if your grand kids are in California watching Frozen on Disney+, your siblings in Colorado binge watch Hulu, and you,stuck in Jersey, join then all in watching Cornell sports on ESPN+, the good news is that Disney will let you share the Bundle subscription for a total price of $13.99 per mo. including Hulu with ads and $19.99 per mo. including ad-free Hulu in the combo.

It's Hitler v Stalin.  My daughter worked for Disney for five years.  They're the worst employer on earth and that is a very high bar.

interesting because i also know that ESPN is starting to implement a thing about sharing your acct outside the home ip range.   So not sure how t hey allow sharing but also limit use outside the house..  I was told they plan on enforcing it so that if you use the service often outside your home they will warn you then enforce a penalty. they have been tracking this for awhile.. maybe they allow part of the plan and not other parts?

They won't let you access ESPN+ on your cellphone?

cellphones know your location as well. if you live in Ny and you use it in NY and your kid logs in from Buffalo and it happens multiple times they start to track it and if it starts happening at roughly the same time like cornell hockey games they will see it..  they have not turned it on yet but its in their queue of things to do. much like netflix is doing already in a tests runs now.

As an expat living in China all the geolocation restrictions are depressing.  Sometimes you just want to pay money to watch hockey/lacrosse/wrestling and you still can't because the services either flag you as using a VPN (sites are blocked in China so require a VPN to access) or being out of region (even with a VPN set to my 'home' region it's becoming more common to be flagged).  Unfortunately, I and others like me are basically no % of their business.

[Al DeFlorio]

This is nuts.  If I'm vacationing away from home I can't use my subscription to ESPN+?

[Weder]

I think some of the geolocation things are a rights issue rather than an ESPN restriction. The ECAC has a deal with another provider for international rights to its games. That said, you can use ESPN+ anywhere in the U.S.; it sounds more like they are cracking down on multiple users logged in to the same account from different locations.

ESPN+ has never worked for me if I happen to be outside the US.

I can't remember if I've ever tried to use ESPN+ outside the US, but I've definitely watched live ESPN channels via my cable provider log-in while abroad (using a VPN).
