If you would rather go a legal route, you can do a 7 day free trial of Playstation Vue, use the credentials to log into WatchESPN, then you are golden.
Thanks for the tip--appreciate it.
I may choose to be an Anarchist on this and just wait for the black helicopters to arrive.
I look forward to seeing you on the new Guantanamo Bay inmate list
I guess I will just use first row sports or whatever malware infected site on my computer. I forgot what we used to do 10 years ago when a lot of games weren't on tv or even more difficult to access than LHN.
My plan is to binge watch Gray is the new Gold on Netflix until ~ 11 pm.
About then, you can watch the rerun on WatchESPN. They are difficult about the live broadcasts, but generous with the reruns. You can even pause for unlimited breaks.
It's not up to us. This is a Texas HOME game. They have the tv rights to it, and we are lucky they let us put it on CY.tv in the first place. This has nothing to do with our marketing plan.
I'm sure one stipulation they have to LET us put it on CY.tv is that we only show it in Iowa. They don't want Cyclone fans in other areas of the country getting access without LHN (skipping their network and putting their content on another teams platform).
And if you are streaming the game via some bootleg website from Eastern Europe lets hope you are intelligent enough to also be using linux, Firefox, and uBlock Origin to protect your computer.
It seems the root of the issue is the IP origin. How difficult is it to change your IP to an Iowa location? Luckily, I'll be in Polk County and streaming via Cy.tv, living the good life.
But if you've purchased a subscription to Cy.tv and you happen to be outside the state, I don't think that gives the cowmen in Austin the right to bully us Cyclone fans around...

Or... they could just not let us broadcast it at all. We even get our own commentators for our feed. They don't have to do any of that.
Wrong. ISU had to agree to this for it to be on Tier 3. If ISU simply said no, this game is on ESPN or FS1.
I believe that to be false. ESPN and Fox get to filter through the games and pick them up as either one declines. If ESPN and Fox decide to let the LHN air the game (remember the LHN is funded by ESPN) ISU has no say. It's a Texas home game. They have the rights to air it. If both main parties pass. I have no doubt that ESPN and Fox agreed before hand they would let LHN have this game. We didn't have a say.
Sure we could refuse. We refuse to play the game?. If the game is going to be played... its on the LHN. Texas gave us the OK to broadcast how we do and we accepted.
The answer to this problem is to get good at the sport of football. Then some other team falls to third tier on the LHN.
Yeah well you're wrong. The home team does not get the rights to conference games like they do non conference games. Big 12 TV contract gives both conference teams rights to this game, and both have to agree to move it to Tier 3. ISU wants this game on Cy TV so they can increase its brand.
So what you are saying is... this game could be on ESPN (whatever channel) or Fox (whatever channel), but we decide to play on the LHN and Cy.TV to increase our brand? Really?
Agree to disagree. Home team has rights if the game falls to third tier and this one did.
That is exactly right(except your last paragraph). The Big 12 TV contract says that each team gets one game on their third tier except for Texas who gets two games. Regardless, ISU HAS to agree to it. Read this from 2014...

This happens once every 2 years. Is it really that big of a deal? Sheesh.
It fell to 3rd tier because ESPN wanted it to. If ISU had said no then ESPN would have put it on ESPNU instead.
In 2016, the Big 12 has this huge TV contract and loyal fans want to watch a 1 win team and it is a struggle. how in the crap do i find out if my IP address is based in Iowa? My neighbors is based out of Chicago...we live in Central Iowa for crying out loud. This is ridiculous.
