You should be able to. What exactly happens when you try?

It seems to be working at the moment for Live Events. It kept saying
something about I was "not authorized for this content", please contact TV
provider. I made sure my ESPN APP was up to date and cellular service was
turned on as well. Right now I am at school on WiFi. I will reply again
to this email if I have the issue again. I missed the first College
Football Game Saturday as I was trying to watch Live during a wedding
reception...LOL!

It seems the contract for ESPN (channels 206 - 211) is unavailable because of a contract issue or dispute with Disney (the message that displays on those channels) when will this be corrected? And will we be credited for the days we were unable to view these channels?  Thanks in advance
