I'd like to know how this works, considering I can't use WatchESPN because my TV provider isn't the same as my ISP. I have Crime Warner as my ISP, but am told that "doesn't count" and I can't use DirecTV with the service. It's frustrating to say the least, when there's a lot of ESPN3 content I would like to access.
