I don't have cable, and therefore don't have any access to Pac-12 Networks. When the games are live streamed I can cast the stream to my TV and enjoy Ron Callan call the live stream game.
Question1: When they list the game as "Watch on Pac-12 Networks" will they also live stream it??
Question 2: If the answer to #1 is no, then I'll get a Sling + sports pkg to get Pac-12. If you use Sling, do you have any issues with it?
Thanks in advance for your advice/knowledge.
Go BEAVS!

Not sure about the first question.
Sling is great. You can go with the Sling blue + Sports package or Sling Orange plus sports package or get both plus the sport package. With Sling blue you get Pac-12 w/ the sports package but no ESPN stations. With Sling Orange w/sports package you get P-12 and ESPN.
If you want something on Fox Sports you need Sling blue. They are the same price and you can switch between them online and it changes within a few minutes.
I suppose you could watch something on Fox sports on Sling blue and switch to Sling Orange to watch the next game on ESPN. I have never tried switching that often so maybe someone else has tried it. Also blue or Orange has Disney , MSNBC or FOX News NFL network and other differences depending on what package you go with. Of course you could get both but we do it for the Pac-12.
If you get the Pac-12 network you will really find yourself scouting the other Pac-12 teams way more often than you ever think you would if you are a college sports junkie. Try it , you can all ways cancel at anytime. Sometimes when the cache get full you have to clear it out. If you have a problem usually someone has a fix for it.
I am sure others can add to their experience with Sling.

Great summary, sparty! Other nice aspects of Sling include: - a free 10 hour "cloud DVR" lets you "record" games (I like to go back and re-watch some of the WBB games, and this helps with that). Back when business travel was a thing, I could do my re-watch while on the road. - Sling sign-up "sweeteners" will let you get things like a streaming device, a "pay for one month, get one month free", or an AirTV device that adds any on-air channels that a powered antenna can pull in to the Sling experience. I like to watch PBS that way. I am a big fan of Sling. I have a personal rule (to counter the desire to "scout" all the Pac-12 teams): I ONLY watch sports where one team is the OSU Beavers (OK, I will take in the World Cup and Super Bowl and the like), but I know I could turn into a sports junky and I don't want that / can't afford to at this stage in my life......but since I only watch the Beavers, I want to watch ANY and ALL Beaver games, so having Sling really helps!! Go Beavers! |

Thanks everyone. I did sign up for Sling + sports. Watched a couple of the games on Friday night. Hopeful that it will work for this season.

We have had Sling for couple years so we could get pac 12 network. When on pac 12 network TV schedule, some times it is inaccurate as far as what game or program is actually playing. Not sure if problem is sling or the pac12 network...I would guess the later.
Also many times at near the top of the hour, the sling tv screen freezes so I don't think we have seen a Lee Corso gameday game day pick this season!

Also a Sling family. P12 networks are often inaccurate, but I think that is on them, not Sling. Ive checked it against what was currently listed on Comcast cable, and Sling says the same thing. I think the P12 just doesn't care or notice. Or people aren't actually working because of Covid and when something is wrong they just let it run. Other than that, which isn't Slings fault, I love it so far. Haven't had any problems. Been using it for 2 years or so.

I just got sling and there is no OSU game on. Anyone else watching it with sling? The Sling avatar for the game showed UCLA vs Cal...no idea which sport though. But if you click on the UCLA v Cal spot OS game comes up. Who you going to believe...me? or your lying eyes  *not gonna lie. I was holding my breath as the game started. I was "pretty sure" it would be OS game |
