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.

GpaVader 08-18-2022 01:10 PM

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.

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.

Last year my daughter and I went to City Fire in Brownwood to watch the Browns play. My daughter is a Jaguar fan and there we could watch both side by side. Also neighbors who are Buffalo Bills fan sat near us to watch their game. The City Fire has all the games on at different places so it is an enjoyable time by all (except if your team loses).

What about Miami Dolphin games? I’m moving to TV Sept. 1st from S Florida and have watched every Dolphins game most of my life. Where or how can I watch the Dolphins once living in TV?

ComingfromCT 08-19-2022 05:51 AM

get a subscription to NFL+ for about $70. You can watch some live games but you can see "any" game after the game is over. You and see all the games "without" commercials and even watch in condensed format. That is when you see the snap and ten the play and then it immediately goes to the next snap. You see all the action without waiting between plays.

daca55 08-19-2022 05:52 AM

Gators Dockside has all the games.

It is only for locally and nationally televised games.

See suggestions above works for all nfl games

westernrider75 08-19-2022 06:00 AM

So with the NFL Sunday ticket can you get any of the games being played? Steeler fan here.

Sunflower33 08-19-2022 06:08 AM

Cut the cord
 
I have streaming and I can see all games on my tv. Have had it for 5 years and love it.

I am a diehard Steelers fan. NFL Sunday ticket only shows locally and nationally televised games. You can get the premium and watch the games later after live broadcast.

NFL Game Pass; get to watch every game after it is played. I have the NFL TICKET app, and stream to my tv, as I had sight issues to their satellites up north with trees. I’m here now and so far it says I have it this year. After this year DIRECT TV, will lose the ticket, NFL is going with a streaming service and everyone will able to get it next season if they want

Gators in Brownwood says they have the ticket for football on Sunday's.

Good luck

richardc1947 08-19-2022 06:34 AM

We subscribe to DirecTV STREAM service. It’s much cheaper than DirecTV or Spectrum or Comcast. Then we set our service address to a Nashville address (perhaps a relative). We then get local stations from that area including the Tennessee Titans broadcasts over the local station. Of course you don’t get Orlando local stations. I assume the same would work for the Buffalo area.

Bills game
 
Do you have an ipad you can join the bills mafia and watch it on the ipad. If you have a smart tv u can mirror it to the tv.

Not true, you can absolutely pay for their stream package for Sunday ticket with have direct tv at all. I did for years before moving here

"NFL Sunday Ticket is an out-of-market sports package that broadcasts National Football League (NFL) regular season games unavailable on local affiliates. It carries all regional Sunday afternoon games produced by Fox and CBS."

i might have a less expensive solution for you, can you give me the TV stations (call letters) that would carry the games in both areas? Please PM them to me otherwise I might not see it

I’m a Pats fan and I have the Hulu live package which when you select your favorite team will show those games if it’s not one of the scheduled games. If you get an Amazon Fire Stick and up your internet speed you can stream everything and the Hulu and Netflix apps are preloaded.

Not in The Villages. Here is what it says on the "directv.com" website:

"Currently NFL SUNDAY TICKET is not available as an add-on to DIRECTV STREAM. However, if you are in a location or situation that does not qualify for DIRECTV Satellite service, you may be eligible for stand-alone NFL SUNDAY TICKET.TV. Check your eligibility."

bruce213 08-19-2022 07:42 AM

Down load the app tuneity it lets you listen to muted tv stations.

retiredguy123 08-19-2022 07:42 AM

Lots of confusion on this thread. My research indicates that, the only way to legally watch all of the Sunday NFL games live in The Villages, is to get a satellite dish and to subscribe to the NFL SUNDAY TICKET from Direct TV, or to go to a sports bar or restaurant.

Is that information wrong?

I have an app on my smartphone called NFL Live Streaming. I can watch any game I want on my phone. It's free. And if you have a smart TV you can connect your phone to your TV to watch it there.
PS. I am also a Browns fan and watch the game on Sundays at The Pub, along with the Browns Backers Club.

If you can't get satellite service because of obstruction, trees building, you can buy the Sunday Ticket and stream it. That is what my daughter does in Tampa
