Not part of your tv package

I have espn, espn u, espn 2, etc. Everything but espn plus. It's all part of my direct tv package. All of the sudden, roughly three weeks ago, when I tried to stream an espn live game, the message it's not part of your tv package comes on. I called direct tv and the rep says you don't have espn plus. Genious Sherlock. "I know, and I never did" I replied. I could get no further then that. Anybody with a similar problem?

You are in the U-Verse forum. Moving to DirecTV.

ESPN plus is a streaming only service so DTV has never had it.

As others before me have said (but I hope less eloquently):

ESPN+ is like CBS All Access (soon to be Paramount+), Disney+, Discovery+, etc.  It is a streaming-only premium subscription service sold directly to consumers by ESPN and is not included with Video services such as DIRECTV, U-verse TV, AT&T TV, Spectrum, Xfinity, et al.

Most of the content on the ESPN app is available if you subscribe to a package that contains ESPN, et al.  Others require you to pay for the ESPN+ subscription.  I think this has affected exactly one game for me so far.

I see some assumptions are being made in this thread that may not be on the same page as you. Let me clarify some info that might help clear this up.

Are you trying to stream via the DirecTV app, the ESPN+ (Plus) service, or somewhere else?
