Max997 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I have sunday ticket and the Jets vs Phins game was not broadcasted by them. It was a nationally televised game on CBS meaning if the game is broadcast on local TV it will not be broadcast on Sunday ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Just checked my fire tv stick it's not listed as an app Search for just Yahoo not Yahoo Screen and download the Yahoo app, the description will say Enjoy Free unlimited instant streaming and even mentions the Bills Jax game I just added it to my Fire TV. I also added it to my Roku in case one plays better than the other but I have a feeling this will be a disaster all around.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 While we are at it, I will miss the second half and was hoping to record on DVR. Is that possible with Yahoo? How do you do that. If not will there be a replay on NFL network sometime? I have been wondering about this too. After it starts, will the stream be up, such that it would be a video we can start from the beginning? I feel like you can do that with some of the bball games I have seen on watch ESPN app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is there a way to TEST you system before te game?

Webster Guy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) If you have directv and live outside of buffalo but are worried about the streaming nonsense, just do what i've done every year from my rochester home to get every blacked out game for the past 15 years. (I dont mind sharing this now because they finally stopped blacking out games so this technique would normally not be needed anymore, but in this case it will help if you have a sub par streaming situation) Call direct tv and tell them you are going to be staying at your cottage in buffalo for awhile, and you brought your receiver and your dish off your house with you. You'll need to have a buffalo address so go to whitepages and find any address in buffalo. Tell them to keep your billing address the same but they need to switch your INSTALL address to buffalo so you can get the local channels while you are staying there. Rv's and cottagers do this all the time. If they say they need to send a tech out to install your dish just say you already did it, and you are in buffalo standing in front of your tv with a good signal, but you want them to switch on the buffalo local channels. Remember they have no idea where in the world you are, nor do they really care. Be sure to stay on the phone until you actually see the local channels change to buffalo. Now you can watch it in hd and record it like any normal game. Call em up the next day and say you are back home please switch your install address to your normal billing address. All done. I live in roch and used this method to get around all blackouts by calling in a watertown ny address (outside blackout zone but still close enough that they televised bills games). This method might not work if you are hundreds of miles way from Buffalo because im pretty sure dtv spot-broadcasts, meaning they probably wouldnt send a signal for buffalo locals to florida. As long as you are fairly close, like WNY or at least in the line of broadcast (any point from the satellite wedge which probably looks like a pie shape from san diego to maine) Edited October 16, 2015 by Webster Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Yahoo has other videos out there you can try and play now to see how it works. I'm also assuming there will be some type of pre game going on that will be streaming live through Yahoo as well. I added the app to my Fire TV and Roku and although I didn't try any there are a bunch of videos listed to try. I hv big concerns about Yahoo being able to handle the amount of people trying to stream this game which is why I was hoping they would hv done a trial run with another game or at least a preseason game.

Yeah they will do a download and system reset, then you should have full Buff locals. But only if the install address you give them is in Buff. Like I said earlier, make sure you stay on the phone through the install location reset, there are a few times the DTV people don't do it right and you keep seeing your regular local channels Dang-- very shrewd!! It sure beats what I did when I lived in Rochester-- got the 'ole antenna out and tried to pick up fuzzy Syracuse channels when there was a blackout. JR you would be able to get around the spot broadcast if you're in Pitt because it's in line with the satellite (SW of Buff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
