ESPN3 is awesome in an unintended way
So today marked the beginniing of qualifying for the first round of the ALMS and ILMC at Sebring International Raceway. It's only available streaming live on ESPN3.com so I duly headed over to that website and found the link to watch. Now, ESPN3 is setup so that you need to have ESPN at home in order to watch it. What happens when you try to watch a video is that it forces you to select your cable provider and then sends you to your cable company's website. From there you can login to your cable company, and it will send you back to ESPN3 in order to watch the videos.
Sounds nice, but I'm in the middle of a move, so I have my cable cancelled. I duly clicked on the link to watch the video, selected my former cable tv company and entered in my old login information praying it would work. It redirected back to ESPN3 but with a message saying "Sorry, you do not have the appropriate package" or something like that. :( My first thought was to ask a friend with cable for their login and password, but before I did that I clicked on the video again.
And what do you know, the show started playing just fine! MUAHAHAHAHHAA. I hope they never fix this
