Default How to Watch Televised Football Games

I am an avid Browns fan and my wife loves the Buffalo Bills. We have encountered some difficulty in ways to watch the games we want to because we are limited with Spectrum Internet and TV. Does anyone have any ideas that would circumvent placing an ugly Direct TV dish on my house? Anything would be appreciated.

I know that McCall's in Spanish Springs always have all the Buffalo games on all of their TV's every week. The Pub at the Bowl (the other bowling alley restaurant) shows all the Browns games. You could also subscribe to DirectTV streaming and then you can purchase the NFL Sunday Ticket.

Lots of ugly things on top or on the side of houses and once they put them in even when they lose the business they are left up there.

I thought DirectTV streaming is only available if someone cannot have a dish, like apartment dwellers.

Not exactly. You probably need a satellite dish to get the football Sunday Ticket package. Go to this website and enter your address to see if you can get it with streaming. My address is not eligible.

DirecTV can be streamed via AT&T internet. CenturyLink also offers DirecTV in their streaming packages as well.

Listening to the NFL channel on SirusXM, they keep advertising NFL+, I would check into that if you have streaming capabilities

As I understand it, you can get DirectTV Stream as a streaming service, but if you want to subscribe to the NFL Sunday Ticket premium football package, you must get it through a satellite dish with the DirectTV service. I assume that they want to limit and control the number of televisions where you can watch football games that are not broadcast on regular TV.

I think will need a dish, or go to a sports bar. In my opinion, Gators in Brownwood has the biggest and the most TVs.

According to the DirecTv website you cannot get the NFL Package with their streaming service, only their dish.

They do but you will not be able to hear the play by play

DirectTV can be streamed via any internet provider. You may need a Firestick or Roku, and you'll download the DirectTV App...

I use it with Verizon up north and Spectrum in TV...

Our dish is very small and on the lower back of the porch. Hidden by bushes and you don't even see it if you are not looking for it. Love my dish. Had it for years.
