Here we go


1) To watch it on a device, bring up espn.com in your browser. Click on "Watch". You will get a choice of games (our game won't show up until an hour or so before it starts, so wait until 6pm to do this). When you click on our game for the first time, it will ask you to prove you get the ACC Network. You will be given a list of content providers (cable systems, dish providers, and I assume YoutubeTV will be on that list). Click on YoutubeTV and it will ask you to log in to Youtube TV with whatever login/password you have with them. With me (Verizon FIOS) my login is my e-mail and I know my password. Once you are logged in, you should be able to stream the game. Next game that comes along you shouldn't have to go through the login process again.

2) If you have a way of projecting from your device to your big screen, once you have it on your device, do whatever voodoo you do to make that happen. I've never done that so I can be of no help here.

3) If you want to watch it on your big screen and don't have the ability to do #2 above, if you have a smart TV you should be able to download the ESPN App to it. Then you will go through the same process described in #1, except it will be on your TV screen. When I logged into the ESPN App the first time and clicked on Verizon as my provider, it said I could go to the Verizon app on my phone and click an acknowledgement to validate my login. This was good because using the arrow key on my remote to navigate around a keyboard to type in my login and password would have been annoyingly slow. But once again, it was only something I had to do once. Now all I do is go to my TV, change "Source" from my cable connection to the ESPN App, and choose the game I want and it remembers my Verizon credentials and I can watch any event on the ESPN App (except "ESPN+" events which are part of the ESPN+ pay service but fortunately VT is never on that service).

4) If you don't have the ability to do #2, and you don't have a smart TV that can download the ESPN app, then you can only watch on your device.
