The season is upon us. Right off the git go, the first two games are on NHLN.

Streaming services with NHLN that might have a free trial?

Then the bulk of the season. MSG Plus vs ESPN Plus. ESPN plus while in market with the needed VPN would be a little cheaper.

MSG Plus doesn't offer a stored replay right after the game (and perhaps not until the next morning). Not sure about ESPN Plus.

I'm in ROC and have Spectrum. The 2 games this weekend are listed on MSG. I wasn't sure if you thought they were ONLY on NHLN

Free 14 day trial through fubo with the ability to watch the Sabres on MSG.

Clean slate with MSG+ just like with the Sabres.

OK.

Tech support starts at noon. That's when Braden gets up.

Looking forward to the MSG+ review.

 

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, we won’t get fooled again.

Yeah can't believe I am having this nightmare again. Don't be a procrastinator, kids.

I paid for a monthly sub on the MSG+ app using Google Pay (it fills in my card info; I never think of it as using Google Pay). But I can't watch any live streaming content. It prompts me to subscribe. When I try to subscribe (again), it says I have an active subscription linked to my Google account.

I canceled the Google subscription and asked for a refund. I think I remember (too late) this issue from last year. Once I sub without using Google Pay I might be good.

So here's the deal. I canceled and got a refund from Google Pay for the MSG+ sub I ordered on the app. (After ordering it, I still had no access to content.)

I tried to reorder on the app without using Google Pay, but there appeared to be no other option. I was able to order on the website without using Google Pay and now have access!

It's smooth sailing from here. Titanic wreckage here I come.

I understand.  It’s my favorite thing. Not my favorite sports thing. My favorite thing.

Fun for those of us using MSG+.  So we have to migrate and wait for refund? 👎

complete sh1t show.

The Gotham app is trash. I have to Uninstaller it and re download almost every time I use it. 

[LTS]

This is just painful to read and I feel for anyone spending their money with MSG.. or Gotham.. or whatever. It's like a MasterClass is how to NOT develop a mobile customer facing application.
