I am also a NE Patriots fan. Been here six years and the ONLY way to watch all Patriot games is to get Direct TV and the optional NFL Sunday Ticket, which is exclusive to Direct TV (now owned by at&t, who pays the NFL a boatload of money for the exclusivity). New subscribers can usually get if free for the first year, but after that, it gets pricey at $55 or so per month for six months. As far as satellite TV goes, I find it surprisingly reliable (only lost the signal for 30 minutes during hurricane Irma). Direct TV does have to install a satellite dish, however, either on the roof or a pedestal on the ground, which they also install. Mine is on the roof and has never moved an inch through two hurricanes and multiple high wind storms, and has never had to be serviced in the six years I've been here. As some other posts suggest, your only other option is to go to one of the sports bars to watch a game that is not televised locally, but you have to go at least an hour early to get a seat. Miller's Ale House, Gators and City Fire are some of the local places you can watch any of the games, as they pay for the commercial Sunday Ticket.

Like many have posted...join the New England Patriots Club...they reserve a section at one of the pubs and everyone comes dressed in their "Pat's gear" Now that 'Tommy boy' is with Tampa we no longer jump over hurdles to see the Pat's play. We're always going to be able to see Tommy and Gronk play on a local station we tried the fire stick for a couple of years....it worked, but all the commercials were Canadian Tom leaving Foxboro has actually allowed us to enjoy a more relaxing Sunday and we don't drop an easy $100 at some bar every week now |

You can also get the Red Zone, which I like as well. Any team that gets into the red zone is put up on the TV. Sometimes they'll have as many as four games going on at once.

Lighthouse no longer pays for the Sunday Ticket, so you will no longer be able to see all Patriot games there. Direct TV charges restaurants for Sunday Ticket according to their seating capacity, and from what I understand it's a ridiculous amount of money. Quite frankly, I'm surprised at the number of restaurants/pubs that are still willing to pay up; especially given how financially crushed a lot of these places got during the lockdowns; and some are still struggling from it.

That's why I said you need a Chromecast for you're TV. It allows videos and such to be sent from the phone to the TV!!

how dare they
How dare the players protest while bad cops murder innocent young men and women. SHOULD THEY JUST LET IT HAPPEN AND SAY NOTHING ?
by the way when you turn off the games you are protesting along with them. Thats the results the players want. So on behalf of NFLPlayers Thanks for not watching even if its for the wrong reason |

The Lighthouse restaurant in Lake Sumter Landing is a great place to watch the Patriot's!

The cheapest and easiest is to just watch the Buc’s. Kinda the same thing anyway!
