Michigan vs Utah is on Fox Sports one - not in basic Dish packages

July 21st, 2015 at 7:52 PM ^

Yup. This is exactly what I have. I am getting ripped-off, though. I am paying $144 for that package and no premium channels. Like...wtf. I'd like to get Uverse, but it is not available on my street.

Yeah, but this thread is really about people making sure they have the channel.

Pretty sure First Row got wise and made their site unusable if you have AdBlock+. That's how it was as of this past winter at least

uBlock Origin is better than AdBlock+, as it tricks the site into thinking it's served an ad, so the website still gets paid. Also they don't allow companies to pay them to be auto-whitelisted.

No they don't. You just need a better anti-virus and to stop clicking OK when it warns you. The ONLY way for a virus to get on your computer is for you to give it permission. If you have all that stuff turned off, you need to turn it back on. Advanced computer users can leave the annoying crap off, they know better.

If they don't install viruses, why would I need anti-virus?

"The ONLY way for a virus to get on your computer is for you to give it permission."

I wish you knew how wrong you are. Flash and Java are being blocked in browsers now because of their constant battle with security exploits that allow viruses to be installed on your machine. Unless you are explicitly giving permission to run those programs using extensions like flashblock or the built in functionality, you are inherently giving permission to those applications to be executed on your machine. Anti-virus definitions are reactionary. They can only define viruses when they know what they are looking for. So, while your anti-virus may catch a majority of the malware that comes your direction, there's always the chance that something makes its way onto your computer that the AV hasn't seen before, not affording you the opportunity to approve or deny the application from running.

Dumb question...will there be a legal way to stream this game? Like a one-time payment on their website to get a legit feed or something like that? I'm moving out of Ann Arbor in a couple days so this is new territory for me.

I've found the ads/spam fairly easy to get around and I'm not concerned about viruses on my Mac, but from mostly trying to watch NFL games I've often struggled to find a stream that is consistently half-decent (video quality, freezing, etc.). Frankly I'm surprised that with the improvements in technology in recent years the quality of those streams hasn't improved much.

Thanks. I wonder why I can't get anything to download when I click on the "football" or any other link.

For Firefox browser (which has some plug-ins) I get "The server at secure-us.imrworldwide.com is taking too long to respond."

For Chrome, I get "Web page not available."

Clicked link and it did not work on my iPhone. Copied link into Safari and it worked. That may help.

Also, thanks for posting this.
