dakotadan Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Football has a couple limbo years. We are no longer technically in the Big Sky even tho we're playing a BSC schedule. So will our home fb games still be on Pluto TV? If not is UND working with Midco to have them streamed on their site until we move to the MVFC?

ChesterFritz90 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looks like the broadcast page thing got updated. We will see if its right... https://fightinghawks.com/news/2017/8/4/785161.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Read something on Bisonville that the MVFC (not sure about Summit) is moving away from ESPN3 and towards ESPN+. http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?39372-Espn/page1 Other links: http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?204524-ESPN https://redbirdfan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=784 I haven't dug into this much, but my understanding is: ESPN3 - Internet viewing, where access is often included with your cable package. I know that is how mine works. I have cable, which includes online access to ESPN3. ESPN+ - Internet viewing, completely separate from your cable package, for any additional $4.95/month. In Short, you are paying more, for what you already had. Not sure if this will take effect immediately or not, but it is something to be aware of as UND moves towards the MVFC.

This will be a plus for those who's internet / cable service does not include ESPN3. In the past some of my providers did not have it included which was a pain.

Might be that extra motivation I needed to just ditch cable altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Does anyone know if ESPN3 access is included with Dish Network? I currently have access to it thru Midco but am also thinking of dropping cable but will still want access on my farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpa_guy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm at a loss how UND Insider currently works since the web site change. When I hit subscribe on the website, it takes me to UND Insider on You Tube. Does this mean that I have to subscribe through You Tube in order to view live events or add/update an UND Insider subscription? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Football remains on Pluto. Hopefully basketball and volleyball stay on the normal WatchESPN app and don't flip over to ESPN+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. It's actually a bonus for UND they are letting them remain on the platform as there wouldn't be any good options without it. I suppose the flip side is 8 of the 11 games are Big Sky opponents, so it makes sense regardless. Of the remaining 3, I'd only expect MVSU to be broadcast on Pluto. The UW game will be on the PAC-12 network and SHSU will be on either ESPN3/WatchESPN or ESPN+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ESPN+ I will say though that watchbigsky.com has been pretty good for me. Some of it depends on the host and SUU comes to mind. Every stream they produce seems to have issues.

I imagine they didn't want to remove UND from the streaming platform because it means visiting schools couldn't have their fans watch a top notch broadcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BSC was kind to UND (or maybe just looking out for itself) when it said they'd keep UND on the FB schedules for 2018 and 2019. (MVFC in 2020 for UND.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
