Michigan Hockey on BTN+
Decided to finally subscribe to BTN+ as 15 Michigan hockey games will be shown on that sub-channel this season. This team is just too talented to miss out on that many games.
I've had the Roku/Youtube TV combo going for several years now and very happy with it. However I cannot figure out how to watch BTN+ with this setup. On my Roku homescreen I searched for BTN or BTN+ app, nowhere to be seen. When I googled my predicament I read that everything BTN migrated over to the Fox Sports app. So I downloaded that app and while I see BTN on their app, I do not see BTN+.
My only option to watch tonight's opener at this point is to run an HMDI cable from my laptop to my TV. Anyone have any other suggestions to watch BTN+ directly on my TV?
Go blue.

I thought Fox Sports became Bally Sports?
Can't you add BTN+ through Youtube or Hulu and watch it directly from there? Or download the app on your phone/tablet/watch on computer and cast it to the TV?

I had the same problem last week. You have to search for B1G on the Roku search. It's incredibly stupid.

Ha, that is awful. But thank you for that tip.
I guess this thread can either be deleted or can just turn into a Michigan hockey hype thread.

I suggest you set up a twitch account and post links to your stream here so that this thread continues to have ongoing value. Or is MGoArchive still linking his streams?

They moved to a new discord, didn't stream last week but mentioned they planned to this week. Possible it gets posted here, don't know.

Timely post since I just added BTN+ today for the same reason and likely would have the same questions. Thanks for WCHBlog for the search tip.

On the firestick there is a clear BTN+ app - I would've expected that'd be the same for Roku but apparently not
Prepared to be underwhelmed by the BTN+ "production". If this is all they're offering, it's really something Michigan should just be streaming online for free

yeah, already expecting poor production, but for $10/month I'll take it.
October 8th, 2021 at 6:29 PM ^
Agree. Bad production but the best $10 that I pay each month. Then, after hockey and BB season is over, I simply stop the subscription.

Underwhelmed is an understatement!
Horrendous production with some games having 1 camera up high at center ice just going back & forth. Announcing that is awful & clearly not done by the BTN+ because there are long silent pauses when the "announcing crew's" feed goes to commercial but BTN+ does not. While the pauses are bad but the announcers are so bad that there are times I wish the entire game was silent

This is part of the reason I refuse to subscribe. They don't make it a real service. The quality is terrible and the app is compatible with next to nothing. They put in zero effort in a pitiful cash grab.

It’s already bad enough that we pay extra for BTN on cable. For them to have a special channel on top of that. Nope. The Big Ten is big in hockey, but we’ll never see them.
