How to watch USC vs. LSU with cable
Using your cable provider's online platform
Those who won't be at home to watch the game can log into their cable provider's online platform. Each service provider has a different one, so head over to your specific service and log in.
Watching on network TV channels
ABC is broadcasting Sunday's game, which usually means it's easy for people to find the action. Unforutnately for DirecTV subscribers, a dispute with Disney came to a head on Sunday, resulting in a black out of all Disney channels, including ESPN and ABC.
Here are some ABC channel numbers for national services:
Service Provider | Channel Number |
|---|---|
Cox Communications | |
Dish Network | Channel 7 |
AT&T DirecTV | See local listings (UNAVAILABLE) |
Verizon Fios | HD Channel 506/507 or see local listings |
Charter Spectrum | |
AT&T U-Verse | Channel 4 |
Comcast Xfinity |
Of course, those with DirecTV can't rely on that service to watch Sunday's game. Luckily, there are non-cable streaming options to turn to.
