Just Jack Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 NFL.com or NFL+ probably. Back before CBS+ became Paramount+, you could change the zip code on your account in the app, to pick up the local CBS channel in a different market than where you were. Downside is that it was a one time switch. To switch back you'd have to call/email CBS. I don't know if this is still an option with Paramount+. I did see somewhere that Miami's local CBS station will have the game if you want to try getting that station.

Albany,n.y. Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just go to a bar or restaurant that has the game. If you can tolerate a small picture on a phone or notepad you can sign up for NFL + with a 7 day free trial & cancel after the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Kevi Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Yeah I would (and have in the past) sign up for a streaming service that supports NFLN for the "free trial" period and then cancel. Idk who does and doesn't carry it rn, but a couple years ago I did this with fubo, and another year with sling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I was so PIssed last week i live north of Nashville so they had the Titans game on CBS which given the controversy around firing their GM i kind of get it . I was all set to watch the Bills turned on the TV to the Titans game which was like going to Olive garden & getting all set for a big plate of spaghetti & they come & tell you they are out of pasta . 😞 I was truly bummed i hope i can get this game if not i'll be heading to B - Dubs ...

The NFL+ app on Firestick won't let you watch live games on your TV. It only allows live viewing of prime time games on a device like a tablet or phone, but not a laptop or a Firestick. And if you try to Chromecast or connect an HDMI cable to your TV, it will disable the feed. Now, if you have a VPN and tell it you're overseas, it's a different story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when i turned on the TV i truly didn't know the Titans game was in the same time slot so i was just all ready to see the Bills & kind of forgot where i lived LMAO kind of goofy i know but when your a Bills fan you just watch for the Bills . And the Olive garden thing i feel yah but i have yet to find better italian food here Olive garden is the wife favorite & i dig some of their stuff (Mostley their alcohol) they have a couple of places here that aren't bad nothing like those in the Buffalo area though Caraba's & Demo's are pretty good . But you nailed it with the B-Dubs for wings !! There's no food like home food from the Buffalo area that's for sure !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 For those of you with cable ... I have Spectrum as my cable provider. They have tiers of channel groups/offerings. When games began airing exclusively on NFLN, I called to upgrade to the tier that included NFLN so I could watch the Bills game. The rep told me that I could upgrade to the higher tier, watch the game, then call back and downgrade to the previous tier .... and that I'd only be charged for one day of the higher tier. This is another option for those without smart TVs or Roku, firestick, etc., and it's easy/inexpensive. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For prime-time games, NFL+ lets you watch live, regardless of your location. It's only if you want to use it for Sunday daytime games (i.e., competing with Sunday Ticket) that you have to be outside the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL... changed my plan... Comes to be like $10 more/month... Swapped out the Legacy Boxes with DVR, etc... All good! Watching the Bills finish off the Jets right now!

Supposedly they couldn't push the higher package on what I had. I guess there is no going back now. Got the bigger box with DVR, second TV's STB is smaller... But both work the same... I must have been in stone age. I never bit through the years when they tried to get me to "upgrade." I never knew NFLnetwork was an added channel on Cable TV...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I just switched to youtube tv from direct stream. youtube is offering a 2 week free trial to new subscribers but I did that for another game. It's $15 per month less than my comparable plan. Direct did a lot of early adopters wrong, promising lifetime pricing of $35 per month and free HBO. first they increased the price (now at $80) and then dropped HBO. bunch of shysters. one plus was getting Sunday ticket from them but after this season that's done. I hope they go belly up. Edited December 15, 2022 by redtail hawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to sign up for the offshore version of NFLGP which carries all games and archives them. I'm telling you, I get better Bills coverage than I ever got in Rochester.
