What's the best option to stream pac12, B1G and SEC (and hopefully BTN+ too)?
Here's some options I am aware of: SlingTV, FuboTV, and Vidgo. But none of these supports BTN+.
I'm wondering if there are more options out there that are more affordable. Thanks!

If you have internet access, a ROKU stick offers low cost BTN+

If you have internet access, a ROKU stick offers low cost BTN+ How? I have a ROKU TV. Is it a channel to install? |

Yes. I think you type in the channel to search for and then give your code to add it.

If you have internet access, a ROKU stick offers low cost BTN+ How? I have a ROKU TV. Is it a channel to install? For Roku, go Streaming Channels > Search Channels > and Big Ten Network+ to add the app. A one-month subscription is $15 (rounded up). Sling is the best option, period, especially if you care about the Pac-12. Option 1: Sling Blue + its Sports Extra ($46): six regional Pac-12 Networks, BTN, FS1/FS2, NBCSN, but NOT ESPN/2/3/U/News, SECN/+, ACCN/x, LHN. Option 2: Sling Orange + its Sports Extra ($46): six regional Pac-12 Networks, ESPN/2/3/U/News, SECN/+, ACCN/x, LHN, but NOT BTN, FS1/FS2, NBCSN. Option 3: Sling Blue/Orange + both Sports Extras ($65): six regional Pac-12 Networks, ESPN/2/3/U/News, SECN/+, ACCN/x, LHN, BTN, FS1/FS2, NBCSN. Or you can get the Total TV Deal ($77), which includes all this, every other Extra (Comedy, News, Heartland, Sports, Kids, Lifestyle, Hollywood), and DVR Plus (200 hours) - $11 more if you're planning to upgrade from the free DVR (50 hours )to DVR Plus ($5) anyway. Any match on the national Pac-12 Network has always also been available on at least one of the regional networks. A drawback is that Sling has not authenticated users for Pac-12.com, so you can be left waiting for a previous match/game to finish. They have made full replays available after matches. Sling does authenticate you for the ESPN app if you have Sling Orange. Tip: To ensure that a recording of a 5-set match doesn't get cut off, record both the match and the following program segment. I'm going to switch between Option 1 and Option 2 depending on which matches I want to watch. I'll definitely switch to Option 2 for the Playoffs to get all of the ESPN channels. |

Anyone stream with Vidgo? Curious to know how it matches up amongst its competitors SlingTV/Fubo.

Anyone stream with Vidgo? Curious to know how it matches up amongst its competitors SlingTV/Fubo. No cloud DVR. Limited on-demand. Has the same sports channels as Sling Blue/Orange + both Sports Extras, except for ESPN3, SECN+, ACCNx, NBCSN. $55 vs $65 for Sling Blue/Orange + both Sports Extras. $10 savings isn't worth what it is missing, at least for me. |

If you have sling orange and blue + sports you get 4 streams on the account though, correct? I’m about to add blue to my parents account that is under my name so my brother and son can watch PAC-12 matches.
I’m planning to do it next week. From everything I’ve read blue gives you 3 and Orange 1, so four total, right?

I decided to treat myself to Sling this season, but told myself to do it just for three months. That means I can start tomorrow and see Texas/San Diego and WKU/Notre Dame...but would miss the last day or so of Pac 12 matches on November 27 (because I would have to cancel on the 26th). That means missing Utah/Colorado and Washington/WSU at the end of the season. Or I can start next week, which means missing Texas/USD and WKU/Notre Dame. Which option would you go for?  |

If you start on Sat, can you watch the PAC-12 matches on Nov 27th? If so, I'd probably do that. Not just bc I'm a PAC fan but bc there's a decent chance that some of the matches will have known likely consequences (e.g., getting a seed or making the tournament). FWIW, it looks like all the Nov 27th PAC games will be on the main PAC-12 channel. If they stay there, you'd need a subscription but one or more might get moved to one of the free channels. It probably comes down to how many games you'll be able to see this weekend if you don't get Sling (or how many on Friday if you can get Sling on Sat and still watch the PAC matches on Nov 27). I'd hate to miss the opening weekend or not be able to see any of the games I'm interested in. The Trojan Invitational and Oregon matches should be free on PAC this weekend. I saw some other matches that were free too but I don['t remember which ones. |

First month: $25 discount for Blue or Orange, $30 discount for Blue/Orange, and free DVR Plus (200 hours)/a $5 value. Why not keep it an extra month for the Playoffs? Also, see deals for prepaying three months: www.sling.com/deals?footer=trueWashington/WSU is always good. Should be a good crowd. Pac-12 title could be on the line. |

I'm wondering if there are more options out there that are more affordable. Thanks! For Pac-12, you must either use Fubo or Sling. I had Sling for several years and really liked it, but I recently switched to Fubo. Fubo is terrific for sports and has added just about every non-sports channel I could ever want now, too. It's also $5 per month cheaper than the package I had with Sling and doesn't limit some of the channels to a single stream. I am all about Fubo now. For volleyball, remember that the Pac-12 also has free live streams for anything not televised. The websites have a URL in the format of pac-12.com/live/school-name. So, for example, Arizona is pac-12.com/live/university-arizona |

Fubo Starter + Sports Plus ($82): All seven Pac-12 Networks, ESPN/2/U/News, SECN, ACCN, LHN, BTN, FS1, FS2, but NOT SECN+, ACCNx, ESPN3, LHN. Compared to Sling Blue/Orange + both Sports Extras + DVR Plus ($72). Free streams have been available for most matches not televised, but not all. It is school-specific, with most streaming all non-televised matches, but some not. Although carried over the network, free streams are school-produced, so quality varies. |

Does the Pac Network typically show the first few NCAA rounds for hosting Pac teams? |
