I am getting an error message on ESPN app while trying to sign in with DIRECTV stream. Can not watch sec plus.

I have deleted the ESPN app many times.   Signed in to ESPN.  When I try to sign in to tv provider and choose DIRECTV stream i get an error message.

It says:

BAD REQUEST

The Access Manager WebSEAL server received an invalid HTTP request.

Explanation 

Possible causes for this message include:

   Incompatibility between the browser and the server

   A problem with the browser.

I never had this problem with DIRECTV satellite.   Using the same iPad and same browser.

Thanks for any help

Try in a private/incognito browser to see if that would work.

Also ensure a VPN, ad-blockers, or other possible antivirus software isn’t turned on.

Not sure SEC+ is supported with DirecTV Stream credentials. I believe only SEC is supported.I have the same with ACCN+.

Thus far, nothing is working.   I do believe DIRECTV stream supports SEC+.  Ugh, this frustrating

I don't think so. Those add-ons are usually only supported via cable networks and a few others. I have Disney+ that offers ESPN+ in the package. I believe you need a subscription to ESPN+ to get those channels.

Per ESPN+ documentation: "SECN+ is a sports streaming service, or more accurately, it is a SEC branded section of the ESPN Plus streaming platform from ESPN."

But would I still get an error message trying to sign in?  Seems like it would tell me, I could not sign in.

You should. Try your phone, PC, or tablet to compare.

Thank you for all your help.  I have tried cell phone, iPad, smart tv…it is the same issue.   I am at a loss.

I honestly believe you need a ESPN+ subscription - some way.

You don't need an ESPN+ subscription. 

You said you used to be with Dtv Satellite. Are you sure you are choosing Directv Stream as the provider. ---Do you have different credential with Dtv Stream vs Satellite--or is it the same email?

I have DIRECTV STREAM, and I can watch SEC+ content at espn.com using DIRECTV STREAM as a TV provider - @Shep1010, you said you didn't have this issue with Satellite 

  • by any chance, does your Satellite user is the same as the STREAM user? some people have reported conflicts with accounts if this is the case
  • Also, when did this problem start? Is it your first time having it (first time using STREAM credentials at esp.com?)

Thank you @GTyz …I have used different log in’s for satellite and stream.  I did find out on my iPhone and iPad satellite was listed as my tv provider instead of stream.   I can log on but it still won’t play a video/sec+.  It spins and will not play.

It started after I got stream.

So, are you trying to log in to the Dtv Stream website on your Ipad using a browser? Or an app on Ipad? If you are using a browser, have you tried clearing cache/cookies? And what browser are you trying to use?
