Best way to watch the games??? Looking for legit(legal) streams

[Sherlock Holmes]

Looking for the best ways to be able to watch every game for an out of market guy? Don't have time to get DirectTV back as I'm moving back to NY.  Looking for legit ways to watch the games!

How soon are you moving? We will have a previously hard to imagine number of games on National TV this year.  I forget after the first two, and of course I’m too lazy to look it up, but you won’t need special access that often. Maybe just a sports bar when needed? Even Sunday games will likely be covered in most markets barring a conflict. 

 

Even my wife asked “do we really need it this year?” I think she was kidding.

If she's not time to talk to an attorney...🤣 Next month we are heading back up!

I think this thread had some pretty good info if I remember right.

For “legit” methods, there’s Direct TV or Sunday Ticket streaming, using a college student’s info. They check the school enrollment and birthdate. 
 

Could also use a VPN to fool the CBS and Fox apps to watch the games on those.

For the national games use Fubu.  You can get a free 7 day trial when you sign up.  Keep using a different email for more free trials

It has a little lag like 10 seconds but live none the less

Serious question in my mind: What % of users are actually paying for it? I know people who “just get it”. I don’t know whose account they are using, or how, but they watch the games free.

 

And the follow up questions like what is the average fee paid? How does that bell curve look? It feels like haggling in a dark market trying to get a real price, and what’s your best deal. I like the world where you tell me how much it costs, and I decide whether to pay for it. I guess I’m old fashioned. 

 

 

 

Bottom line, I guess that’s exactly what I do. 🤷‍♂️

I really like Eyestream TV. You get local channels across the nation, PPV, HBO, Showtime, for about $50 a month with DVR, and $42 without DVR. And I see them as legit. The only issue I've seen is if you live in Buffalo (as an example), and you want to watch a NBC affiliate in Boise, you'll have to wait a few minutes for the channel to load. Then no problem.

Subscribe to Express VPN for approximately $60 a year.

Turn on your VPN. Set your location to the Netherlands.

Go to NFLGamepass.com and subscribe to NFL Game Pass for $200. Make sure that your VPN is turned on every time you want to access Gamepass from there on out.

Watch every game, live or after the fact, plus NFL Red Zone, NFL Network, All-22 footage, "Game in 40", and an archive of every Super Bowl ever and regular season games going back several seasons. 

If you want to watch the games on your television, just Airstream the games from your computer to your TV, or use an HDMI cable to hook the computer directly to the TV.  

This has worked for me five years straight. No lag, no blackouts, glorious high definition.

Wait so is this an Amazon Prime only stream this game?

Nope.

This one will be on NBC. Starting in week 2, it's Amazon only.

I have NordVPN, was hoping for a little less than $200 however, wish they'd do per game/monthly basis.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

You can jump streaming service to streaming service on 2 - 3 week free trials.

Yeah, I don't know of a cheaper way to (legally) watch the games.

Gamepass breaks down to about $11.75 per regular season Bills game. I figure that's less than I'd spend going to the local Bills bar 17 times.

It's definitely possible to watch every game for approximately zero dollars, but it's not legal and, in my opinion, not dependable enough in quality and consistency.

my biggest issue would be no DVR capability. I often am not home in time for the opening kickoff.

I Reddit somewhere where you can

geo spoof something or other and get coverage for a targeted area. 
 

 

But I’ve had DTV for decades 

Using an NFL APP on 📱 if I had to be mobile

I've thought about this and have an ExpressVPN subscription already. I assume you're paying for NFL Game Pass with your U.S. based credit card. Don't you have to enter an address that matches the one associated with your credit card account? This is the part I can't get my small mind to wrap around.

[boyst]

Download a tool for software developers that lets you manipulate your phones info. You can put your phone GPS to Buffalo. The NFL app streams most games.

 

Also good if you're single and want to scout ahead on tinder or dating apps.

Workaround for those restraining orders from NFL players, check!

I am using a U.S. based credit card. I do have to enter the address associated with my credit card. It has not been an issue.

I'm wondering if that's going to work this year.  Last worked great till around the last couple weeks of the season.  Would go into the browser, set the location, do something like go to Google maps and "find my location"  I'm in the Orchard Park.  Go to CBS, it would list the local Buffalo CBS station, but as soon as you'd click on it, would revert to my local CBS station.  It still seemed to work on You Tube TV though.

My first questions is why would a guy like Sherlock Holmes be asking us?  You'd think he'd have this all figured out!

 

I agree though these illegal methods are much simpler than the legal ways and really pretty darn safe.

 

Not sure either that you can call using a VPN as a legal method.  VPN's are perfectly legal, but not so sure it is when you use it to watch a TV station out of market.  I think the fine print at the bottom of the TV screen says otherwise.

These legal/illegal debates are kind of funny really. No one has driven 65 in a 55 speed zone? Or, never came to a complete stop at a stop sign? I'd bet that no one here has ever gotten in trouble or knows anyone who has gotten in trouble for watching whatever they want via the internet however they do it. It's just silly... do what you need to do people and always remember to fully stop at a stop sign lol.

[Cson76]

I just got NFL+.  That should be your answer for streaming

I think it's more people are afraid their computers will get infected with viruses.  But there are many I'll call them legit illegal sites.

 

I think the people that provide these see themselves as rebels and feel they are doing a duty to illegally broadcast the games.  But they are not messing around with trying to infect your PC or anything either.

I guess that depends on where you go. Here, I'm using a 16" chromebook with ABP and I've never had one single problem. Easy to cast too. ABP is the key and its free... although chrome does have a pretty good anti virus protection as well.

 

No one should ever have to miss a Bills game is my motto.

Brazil was around $75 for the season.  Was $75 last season as well.  Typically do a little searching for best location/price every year.  Been doing it for the last 4 or 5 seasons now.  Haven't paid more than $100 yet.  Also, use private internet access VPN for about $35/year.
