How do I restore access to the ESPN channels on my Roku streaming service?
I am assuming that I have to now pay for a subscription access to ESPN, ESPN2. What's the solution here?
How did you lose them? Are you a Youtube TV user who lost them due to the YouTube TV/Disney dispute?

YES, I am assuming I am a casualty of the dispute
You could take a look at https://www.suppose.tv
It suggests Sling Orange as the most cost-effect method of getting the ESPNs.
I got kicked off the Disney Channels due to the the dispute with YouTube TV - My only real interest is ESPN and ESPN Plus.
I ordered ESPN Plus via my ROKU. That seemed to work fine. When I check my ESPN account on my computer it shows that I am subscribing to ESPN Plus.
The BIG problem is that when I try to get ESPN on my ROKU I keep getting hung up when I need to specify a TV provider. Since I do not have a TV provider (only YouTube TV). How do I solve this problem!
As I understand it, the ESPN app is complicated. To see ESPN content on it, you need a TV provider subscription. However, the same app also gives you access to ESPN+ content - which is different than ESPN content. So, there should be SOME stuff on the app you can see with your ESPN+ subscription, but if you're trying to watch a game being broadcast on ESPN, I don't think ESPN+ will likely cover that.
For actual ESPN, you could might look at this site: https://www.suppose.tv
It shows the cheapest stand-alone package with ESPN is Sling Orange. However you may want to play with other options to possibly replace YouTube TV with something else.
I have purchased ESPN and all I get is the ESPN/activate code and when I put it in nothing happens
Did you purchase espn+?
Hi @Whyn,
Welcome to the Roku Community!
We'd like to know more about how we can help. For clarification, are you trying to access ESPN+ subscription? ESPN+ is within the ESPN Channel, but does not give you access to ESPN subscription content. In addition, ESPN requires a cable or satellite subscription and you will need to sign in with a TV provider. I would also recommend to check the post of @Strega above for additional information.
Please keep us posted if you need further assistance or clarification.
Best regards,
Mary
I purchased ESPN 99.99 a year. I get one game and then if I go to another game I get the activate screen code
