has all the full games posted an hour after they’re done with commercials cut out. And perfect quality as well. 

Edit: Obviously use these for emergencies only. I suggest getting NFL+

You can sign up for any free trial for youtubeTV Fubo and get CBS if needed.

I was pissed when cable dropped my NFLN and I had to scramble to see the Bills. CBS? That’s just crazy. Let me guess….your bill did not go down. Am I right???

I forget where the towers are but if you put a coaxial cable into where you would put an antenna on your tv that might be enough. Or, hook the other end to a laptop/computer for some added miles. Laptop can be off, you just want something extra. Hell, you could even stick a wire coathanger in there.

 

One thing though, usually these things get sorted out by midnight. Had this happen with Sling last week with the disney channels/espn etc. and it only lasted a day or so.

the WIVB digital broadcast antenna is near East Aurora.

 

most big box stores - Best Buy, Walmart, Target, even Home Depot, probably have basic antennas in stock in the $20-$30 range.

 

I live in Kenmore and pickup channel 4 without any issues with a basic antenna.

You can't get all of the big 4 with an antenna? We use sling but also use an antenna for abc, nbc, cbs, and fox.

If it's nationally televised the BIlls will be on.

 

We normally get Jacksonville or Miami in this market.

I thought it was in the southtowns but wasn't sure. I'm pretty sure the guy who was asking could just plug a 10' coaxial cable into the antenna port on the tv and get it then.

Nexstar wanted a 64% increase from Verizon on the new contract.  Verizon didnt want to pay.  CBS is part of the Nexstars channel group so Fios no longer has CBS.

 

https://thedesk.net/2022/10/verizon-fios-nexstar-channels-removed-carriage-dispute/

 

Its only certain areas so you might be outside the area.

 

Verizon primarily offers its Fios TV and Internet service in the northeastern part of the country. The dispute involves the national cable news channel NewsNation as well as Nexstar-owned local stations in the following areas:

WPIX (Channel 11, CW) in New York metro area

WSYR (Channel 9, ABC) in Syracuse

WTEN (Channel 10, ABC) in Albany

WPRI (Channel 12, CBS) in Providence, RI

WIVB Channel 4, CBS) in Buffalo

WPHL (Channel 17) in Philadelphia

WDCW (Channel 50, CW) in Washington, D.C.

WHTM (Channel 10, ABC) in Harrisburg

WRIC (Channel 8, ABC) in Richmond, VA

WAVY (Channel 10, NBC) in Norfolk

WVBT (Channel 5, Fox) in Norfolk

In areas where Verizon Fios carries digital sub-channels of the above local stations, those digital channels are also unavailable, the company affirmed. The move will mean customers in some markets will lose access to Antenna TV, Comet, Court TV, Grit, Bounce TV and Cozi TV, though only if the networks are carried by a Nexstar-owned station.

The dispute will mean some Verizon Fios customers will lose access to National Football League telecasts on local CBS and Fox stations, as well as other sports carried on ABC and NBC in parts of upstate New York and Virginia.

IPTV?

[Albany,n.y.]

Here in Albany I'm not getting local  ABC stations along with Newsnation. However for some reason we're still getting the local Fox stations even though they're also Nexstar owned.  What I did was attach an antenna to one of my TVs, changed the input to TV and programmed in all the over the air stations.  I still have the cable hooked up and I can switch back and forth by changing the input.  Pretty simple solution.
