Football Television For Syracuse Game
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Things are going great in town. It’s been 5+ years and we’re loving it. Thanks for asking!!
Announcers for Saturday are Mike Couzens (a Syracuse alum) and former Ohio State player Dustin Fox.
For those that might be worried that the game before ours might over run and eat into the start of our game there might be a workaround similar what some did this past week with the Fox Sports app. Just like this past game was available in the Fox Sports app if you had trouble locating it from your streaming service or cable provider I think the ESPN app might be the way to access the game if the previous game over runs.
I see a bunch of ESPN3 channels and ACCXN channels there and I'd guess one of those avenues would be showing the RU/Syracuse game if the previous game runs long. I tested out the ESPN3 channels showing US Open stuff now and the ACCXN channels (overflow for ACCN I guess) showing Women's soccer games now and I was able to access them with my YouTube TV credentials. So I think the ESPN app could be a work around if the main ACC Network doesn't get to our game on time, just like the Fox Sports app was for the RU/Temple game. I mean I don't know for sure but it seems like a reasonable assumption that our game could pop up on those places if the main ACC Network channel doesn't start it on time.
I know not everyone is a Yankees fan or Knicks or Rangers fan, but if you are fan of those teams like me, how could you possibly switch to a service that doesn't have YES or MSG?
I know streaming saves some money, but the angst about not getting channels you want to watch makes it kind of ridiculous in my opnion.
Best of Luck,

I’m not a fan of those teams or those sports so doesn’t bother me and there’s no angst about channels as YouTube Tv has all the ones I need. Cable vs streaming didn’t seem much diff yesterday either. The lack of knowledge on overflow was the issue not access to the channels. Same for this week’s Syracuse game, if the previous game runs long.
I’ve said this before every household is different and should do whatever suits its needs. I tested out YouTube tv for 1.5-2 months to see if it did for me and when I saw that it did I switched from FIOS TV and boosted my internet and save about 65-70 bucks a month. I don’t encourage people to switch if it doesn’t meet their needs. I encourage people to look into it to see if it might and save some money in the process too if it does.
I don't know what YouTubeTV has in the NY/NJ area, but in for me in Northern California, I get a pair of NBC Sports Channels - NBC Sports Bay Area and not sure if the other is for Sacramento or an overflow channel. I also get the local ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, PBS Channels. So you may want to check to see if you get YES and/or MSG.
ACCN does not have an overflow channel like BTN does. Seems to be 2 options for the possible overflow next week.
1. ESPN app (sign in with your internet provider)
2. ESPN News channel.
"Though originating as a station geared towards sports news, events, and conferences, ESPNews now primarily functions as an overflow network for ESPN's programs, eliminating scheduling conflicts for other networks in ESPN's circle."
Well if it’s ESPN news that even better because that’s actually on the guide itself and easy to navigate to when channel flipping.
I know they’ve used ESPN news as overflow for their main channels ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN U. I didn’t know if it would be used for ACCN and SECN. Good if that’s the case.
What is ACCXN then? Sounds like an overflow but only available in the app but don’t know for sure and there are a couple of them in the app. Multiple ESPN3 tiles are in the app too. Regardless, you’d think our game has to be in one of these places…..ESPN news, ACCXN or ESPN3 if the prior game runs over.
ACCXN is a streaming subscription program equivalent to BTN+
Thanks good to know. I don't know that I'd ever look use it beyond a situation like this but good to know that ACCXN is included with a YouTube TV subscription.
Problem is you have to go Syracuse. Who wants to go there??
YouTube tv has every sports channel except YES for those in southern jersey. We have had it for a few years and love it
I just checked to see if I have the ACCN channel and I do. I have optimum. I am set to watch RU destroy the fruit!
Those who want there want to see in person ( for the 1st time) a huge Road victory in the Greg 2.0 era.
No other road games this season are drivable back and forth on the same day. Just seeing Rutgers beat the sad delusional Sara fans is priceless.
Agreed. If we weren't heading to OCNJ for vacation on Saturday, I'd be going up to get some Dino BBQ and watch us pummel Sara senseless...
It is a gamble. If Rutgers wins, it will be a hell of a fun trip. If Syracuse wins, it will be a miserable 24 hours.
Place your bets!
yes 7day free trial
you have to add on sports lite ,it carries the accn
its easy to cancel also
Get yourself some Prep's pizza (better than Manco & Manco) and some Kohr Bro's custard! mmmmm
Preps is good and better than Mack and Manco's (it'll never be Manco and Manco to me - been going to OC regularly since I was about 5 years old, i.e, 54 years ago), but my favorite on the boardwalk is Angelo's II by 14th - great pizza, but I rarely eat it, because they also happen to be one of my 3 or 4 favorite cheesesteak joints on the planet and I like cheesesteaks a little more than pizza, plus I can't regularly get great cheesesteaks this far north. In fact, every year we go to OCNJ, the first thing we do, before anything else is go up on the boardwalk and get cheesesteaks. Kohr Bros rules, too - my wife's favorite, along with monkey bread.
Totally free if you have Fire Stick. I was screwing around and found The ACC Network on Stirr TV, part of a group of channels on Fire Stick. https://stirr.com/show/shoutfactorychannel-sfv21147000-the-captains-close-up
Had never heard of Stirr.com + some channels I never knew existed - Dick Cavitt Channel, Bob Ross Channel. Space.1999
Ahh, I see the Bloomberg Channel. Nice! And the ACC Channel. I may download this. Thanks!
Yep, went there for the beatdown win in 2005 and the soul crushing drubbing in 2011 when Savage was sacked about 30 times and I'll definitely take the former, lol.
Wait, so I'm one of the unlucky Comcast subscribers here in South Jersey. That said, we DO pay for Disney-Plus and cast it onto our TV. So you're saying that because we pay for Disney-Plus, we may actually get the ACCN already? Wow if so. I need to look into that before I do either a Youtube TV or Hulu free trial.
I THINK (and it is confusing) you should be able to watch ACCN games on a computer or an ESPN or Disney+ App on a SmartTV or a Firestick, Roku, etc. I have only watched games on a computer.
Let us know how it works out.
I just installed Stirr TV on my Fire Stick and I am pretty certain the ACC channel there is not the live sports one folks would need for the Cuse game. It is labeled as ACCDN (ACC Digital Network) and it is currently showing an old Miami/Georgia Tech game from 2017. The ACCN that I have through my fubo trial is showing USF at NC State from this year right now and its grid is filled only with games from this past week. Stirr's grid later is not showing any of the ACCN's current programming like Packer and Durham at all. I'm pretty sure ACCDN is different than ACCN that will carry our game.
I ran into the same thing on the free channels that come with the Samsung SmartTV free channel App for PAC12 Network. I thought I was actually getting the full network, but it was some watered down version without any live games.
None of these FireStick/HULU/YouTube/Apps/Stirr is going to help us see the start of the game if, I mean when, the first game goes later than 3 hours...........
correct?
correct?
That's my concern, too. Lots of great streaming/free trial advice in all of these threads, but if the game is delayed, do any of these offer an ACCN overflow channel? Curious to know for sure. Someone either above or in another thread ( @Terry_2426 I think) said you should be able to watch it on ESPN app if delayed AFTER you do one of these free trial subscriptions.
Oh boy, oh crap, may have to hit Mrs. Screw party and bring the drama, lmfao!!!
I am far from an expert, but I would think the App would actually LET you watch it over what is being shown on "broadcast TV" through cable or YouTubeTV.
