I almost wonder if "watchespn" isn't live right now. When you click "watch now" it has you log in to ESPN3.
It may not appear blocked but I'm guessing when it comes to game time the feed of espn3, via watchespn will be blacked out. Awesome.
espn3 is now a source of exclusive content. This means that it will be anotherprogram specific to espn3. The reason the game is blacked out on espn3 is because they will have their own game. THe streaming site where you can watch other network programming is now watchespn.com.
That is what they said in one of the videos.
I'm pretty confused after reading all this, but I think some definitions are needed.
WatchESPN = Online simulcast of broadcast ESPN channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) and ESPN3 (online only)
ESPN3 = online channel with different content than broadcast tv channels
In the past ESPN3 did show games that were also airing on broadcast tv, however, ESPN has changed this to only provide content not elsewhere seen.
The change is mainly to force cable providers not providing WatchESPN to its customers to do so. ESPN is probably hoping for some customer demand to drive the change. I think.
Go Hawks!

I think this is accurate.
But really what's the incentive for cable/sat providers to sign up? I can see why an internet provider would want to be able to market that you can access ESPN3 but not sure cable/sat providers are going to see it the same. It'll be interesting to see if DTV or Mediacom sign up.

I think this is exactly why, so they could separate the programming. I don't see any reason why they'd merge them. They're going to be getting the internet providers paying for ESPN3 and the cable/sat provider paying for watchespn.
granted some might drop ESPN3 because of this news.

My friend, it is all about the European sites. Anything ending in ".eu" instead of ".com" is a good bet. Do not download anything, and you can find streams of basketball, football often, and especially UFC. I always use Nutjob.eu - for the ufc fights.
Wiziwig.tv | UFC/Fighting | Watch live and free: UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen II
this is a good site to get started and find the sports you want.
Here is another exceptional link- Live Sports | Sports Streaming | Watch Live Sports
choose from tons and tons of sports and who is broadcasting. So you can watch "espn's" camera at event. And for the most part are all hd. I go from my laptop to my tv via hdmi and enjoy.

I know plenty of places to watch them. Quality always seems to be an issue.
EDIT: Interesting, I'll have to try some of those listed above.

yes, the hdstream.eu seems to always have good streams!
Live Sports | Sports Streaming | Watch Live Sports
Only downside with these is that sometimes they sites get taken down because of obvious violations, but there are always more sprouting up haha.
