Easy to do with an Android phone, a chromecast unit ($50) or a TV with chromecast built in. Get the Locast app (free or you can pay $5.50 a month to get rid of their ads every 20 minutes or so). Get the Fake GPS app for Android. Select an area on Fake GPS that has the game you want on local tv. Then select the city on Locast find the channel with the game. When are watching on the phone just tap the screen and select the CAST button and it will then CAST it to your TV.
This will work on an iPhone also but it is harder to fake the GPS as Apple doesn't allow apps to change the GPS.

After you're done watching the game, make sure you change the GPS bake to normal, otherwise other apps will think you're in whatever area you selected.

Use the free App Locast. This has local stations by city and uses your internet connection to stream.

Use Locast. It is a free App for local stations by city and uses your internet connection. You can change your city to get programs in different cities.

I got dizzy halfway through reading your directions

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

Other than that the only way to get all the games LEGALLY is to purchase Sunday Ticket yourself. You need to subscribe to Dish network to do so.

Dish Network does not offer Sunday Ticket. You can only get the NFL Sunday Ticket from Direct TV.

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.

I can't imagine trying to watch a football game on my iphone. I'd be squinting for days.

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!!

Maybe a tutorial in reading comprehension is in order?

We were season ticket holders since Pats joined NFL, living in Foxboro, (my golly did they stink :) To be clear, it got too expensive at some point and they were on TV as every game was sold out.

Now my sister has Slingshot, so I can watch, but no Dad...

The Sullivan's were the worst owners ever.

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! :1rotfl:
