FSU football vs Boston College: How to watch game without DirecTV amid Disney dispute

No. 10 Florida State football looks to bounce back from a gut-wrenching upset loss to Georgia Tech last week in Dublin.

But fans who have DirecTV as their cable TV provider won't be able to watch DJ Uiagalelei and the Seminoles take on Thomas Castellanos and the Eagles on ESPN on Monday.

The ESPN family of networks — including ABC, in certain markets — is in a blackout for DirecTV users after the TV provider dropped the channels Sunday night prior to the start of the LSU-USC game. The blackout comes amid an ongoing carrier fee dispute between Disney and DirecTV.
