Just saw where the game is listed on Channel 399 for Saturday on Time Warner in High Point. Beats hooking up the computer.

Get a Roku or other similar streaming device and connect it to your TV via HDMI. You will get ESPN3 in full HD beautiful picture just like any other cable or satellite feed. You can then go to ESPN app where there is a SunBelt channel to view any of past games too.

You will get ALL Sun Belt games and it is much better than hoping the occasional game shows up on your local feed.

Showing available in raleigh as well on 399, but have to be a sports pack subscriber for $8.99/ month. I have ESPN3, so will watch through that -but this is good to know. Wonder if all of our games have been available like this?

I have AppleTv and Dish. I can watch ESPN 3 and can get a ton of games and replays. It's been excellent as I have been able to come home and replay games and see away games. Roll or Apple TV are great alternatives to streaming on the computer.

I don't think so, I think ESPN picks some games to make Gameplan weekly, but not all ESPN3 are on Gameplan. Hope the game is in HD, but will nice not to have to hook up computer to TV

In my experience, the watch ESPN app through a smart phone or tablet work much better than the PC.

I've streamed from an XBox360 for years and I always had issues. I assumed it was my bandwidth. I got a Roku 2 a few weeks ago and have had uninterrupted, HD streaming since. Best 70 bucks I've ever spent.

Another option is the Google ChromeCast. I'm not very tech savvy but was able to get this working in about 15 minutes of reading through easy to read instructions. Loaded Watch ESPN on iphone, signed into time warner, and selected program. Now I get beautiful HD with no lags or lost signals.

$35 at most places.

Your right, just ran out and got a Roku. Very cool and only took about 10 minutes to set up. HD Formatted right for TV, much better than hooking up the laptop.

With a Roku setup, does it matter who your internet supplier is? I have that demon supplier of TWC.
