For all the grousing about PAC12-NET and PAC12-BA, they carried almost all games on cable, so (1) I could watch on a big screen TV and (2) record for later watching if inconvenient to watch live. With ESPN+/ACCN+, I have to stream. Yes, there is a “Replay” but not always. For  example, yesterday’s WSoc game vs USC is not available on replay.

Yep, Pac 12 tv was great for Stanford fans. ACCn has to cover the teams of 18 members. For now, won't include many Stanford matches, will it?

Many would disagree with both of you, including anyone with satellite TV or a cord-cutting TV service (rising to 40% of American households) that didn't include P12N, such as DirectTV or YouTube TV. We couldn't even get P12N games!  By contrast, ACCN and ACCNX seem to be available to everyone with a live TV service.  The Pac-12 Network actually helped kill the Pac-12 due to horrible distribution and monetization. You will never get me to say anything nice about it.

I agree that the inability to record or go back and forth is annoying. But you can definitely watch ACCNX on your big screen.
1) Install and run the free ESPN app on your smart TV or modern streaming device (such as Roku Stick for $30).
2) Find and select the game under NCAAF / Where to Watch.
3) When offered to watch either on ESPN+ or ACCNX, choose ACCNX. (The ESPN+ option leads to a paywall for $11/month.)
4) Enter your login credentials for your TV provider. (Any provider that includes ACCN should entitle you to ACCNX for free. This should be a one-time only step on your streaming device.)
5) Enjoy on your big screen!

Another option is to follow the same steps on your laptop or mobile device and cast the game to your big screen, but the quality might be a little less.

Also: ESPN+ records games and makes them available for at least a few days afterward.

I have frequently criticized the Pac-12 Network's distribution model.  In part, that was probably created by their management: the 12 Pac-12 university presidents.  But sticking with the big cable networks was a losing proposition and got worse over time.  When fubo.tv came along, I was finally able to watch Stanford sports.  But I refuse to break my 2+ decade streak of never paying a cable TV bill.
