WatchESPN comes with the FireStick. I did not have to enter any credentials for an existing cable/directv account. I just tried it and it worked. I hope it does not expire at a later date but so far so good on both the fire sticks.
that is pretty amazing. A report I saw on the news several months ago on cord cutters said that ESPN was the thing keeping people tied to cable more than anything else. I guess that isn't so true anymore? I have a chromecast and was wondering what the fire stick had to offer above that. Now I know.
