I wonder if it is a slightly different username? Here: https://www.timekills.org/bills-video/ or, Here: https://timekills.info/buffalo-bills-video/ One of them is the new site but the .org one works the best. 40 or so minutes of the games condensed.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 5 hours ago, Special K said: As someone who has to go to a sports bar to see my Bills on Sundays, and knowing that is not going to be an option this year, I am looking to find ways to see as many Bills games as possible from home. I don't have DirecTV, nor do I want it, so that's out. I read in another thread where someone stated that you could use CBS All Access and a VPN to get Bills games from out of market areas. Is this possible?....and if so, I was hoping a more tech savvy person than me could explain what one would have to do to make this work? Any feedback on this would be helpful to the many Bills fans around the country who won't be able to see the Bills as easily as they did prior to Covid-19. Thanks in advance!! would this just be for the games that CBS has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Reddit doesn't share links to live games anymore, but there are plenty of sites out there with them. Theres a few sites i frequent that show all major sports where the delay is roughly about 30 seconds, 1080p, no ads with (the right) adblocker & HD all the time. If ur video is grainy, its ur own connection issue or you're on the wrong website. Some of you looking at this thread may know the ones I use as I've shared some in the past with you privately. But for those willing to pay & are looking at a VPN as an option, besides from making sure they have as close to local servers as possible, I'd suggest picking a company that will give u a free trial or the option to opt out/refund if you're not happy with the quality. And I'd test it out NOW, rather than 5 minutes before the games supposed to start. Always funny seeing the frenzy at game time as people panic at where they're gonna watch the game. It's like a sign of the season changing & I'm sure it'll happen again this year too. Cool thing about this board is that there's tons of good people here that will always be willing to help you out.... myself included if u ever need it. #BillsMafia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoots Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I refuse to pay $$$ big bucks to get Sunday ticket. As a Bills, Yankees, SU fan in Florida, I needed to find a cheaper way. So....I use an IPTV streaming service. The cost is less than $10/month. That is not a typo. Includes ALL major pro & college sports. Install on phone, tablet, Firestick, Android box. Do a Google search, and you’ll find there are several well reviewed, legal options in the streaming universe. Forget about Hulu, Sling and other such choices. I have not missed a single Bills, Orange or NYY game in over 2 years because I have a streaming app on a Firestick that’s connected to my huge tv!

I can only guess is because they only do zip validation. Working around similar business systems, I’ve seen where zip, card number and expiration are good enough for cc validation. We will see if it just took a couple years to work through or not soon as auto renew is coming due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no chromebook I wonder if there is a way to mirror them to a laptop or tv. If you can get the games on your phone and have a Samsung phone and TV, you can use the SmartView function in the 2nd page of the toolbar. Works great.

Matt_In_NH Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Right but you would only get that one game. I think you will see a tiered deal. $15 for the first game and $5 per additional each week or something. $20 per week would about equal the revenue from directv.
