I see that Bally was trending topic last night on Musks over priced chat room. Seems no one who pays for the app could log on…….disaster of a company 

I am one of said people. Terrible. I was able to watch the first period on my phone, then nothing.

So, at $19.99 per month to watch all Hurricane games, home and away.... maybe, it it's working.

Or, go with a VPN and watch all the games on ESPN+ and choose the home or away broadcast, probably for much less than what Bally charges.

I'm just not tech savvy enough to know VPN and having to change server locations to get the games and have to switch back to a local closer server to get my local channels? I'd really need a major tutorial to make all that happen.

What's made this harder is location services.  A lot of streaming apps now require you to have location services turned on and shared before the app will load.  Fubo requires you to set a home network, but allows a mobile device to be moved to other locations.  That means on your phone, you'll get the regional content where the phone is, but a smart TV taken out of it's home network will not work. 

I share all this to say streaming services are starting to use more criteria to locate you, which makes it more difficult to spoof where you are.  It can be done, but now for a lot of apps you're looking at a VPN service and a way to spoof your location.

Yeah, I'll be cancelling tomorrow as well. I don't have a backup plan, though, so I'll be looking for something.

Direct TV and spectrum carry Bally. Both probably $80 a month as a TV service.

If you need help with the VPN technology and ESPN+ I can help.  (ESPN + now $10.99 a month, VPN $4)

I find it disgusting that dedicated fans can’t get to watch their team. Really fugs me off.

putting this here too for people that are still having issues with the Bally App. 
 

Reset the app from your phone or computer on a browser not the Bally application, go to manage devices in your account page, delete what ever you were using the application via and re-log in/authenticate on your TV or phone app via the www.ballysports/activate link. That’s what worked for me.

Yeah I’m a YouTube tv guy. However the ESPN+ sounds like a possibility. I’ll miss Tripp, Mike, and Hannah, oh and the hope of seeing my Marley Drug girl again. Oh well, one can dream.

    • Excellent post. Before yesterday I hadn't posted in about 2 years. I just popped in every once in a while to get updates. A couple of guys around here are excellent at that and one is funny as heck. Then there's MHS831, when I do pop in I always check out your threads. I really appreciate your takes and how you explain them and also the effort you put into it. Plus, your a class act. Grade: A I also came here to mention the UDFA C I understand we signed. I've read that he was ranked in the 6th round for what that's worth. He had a solid career and has traits that are special. He needs to be developed but he has potential and his strength is run blocking and his athleticism fits what we want to do offensively I think.  I think he was a late draft target that they believed was safe so they drafted other players and picked him up after the draft instead. If so, that's smart and very disciplined.    Here's a report on his strengths: SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Raym is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage. Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Raym displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and he can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level. Has the strong leg drive to create movement at the line of scrimmage, consistently putting defenders on the ground. Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire. He's a dawg. Badass. I think his skills fit what we want to do too. This kid has the potential to be a stud for us. It's true we didn't draft him but we still got him. So, if it's really a big deal, just imagine that we had an extra 6th and drafted this guy there. He was valued there so it's a good pick. In my mind, we got a good center this draft, even if we didn't draft him. We signed him just the same. 
    • That blows my mind too.  You know your system and the skill sets you covet--you have hours of game tape, you interview, you measure, you test, you weigh, you time--and 25% is the bar?  Now, I know some teams only have 2-3 openings some years, but dang.
    • 25% of day 2/3 picks would be phenomenal.   NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High - Daily Norseman Assuming the 30% includes first round picks, and that a draft success means the play spends significant amounts of time playing for the team that drafted him, a 25% success rate for day 2/3 picks would be well above average.
