I was planning on COVID being over and going to the sports bar to watch the games. That does not look promising. I live in the NW suburbs so I might be able to get an antenna but that will only give me local broadcasting not sure I can see preseason games.

For people who “cut the cord” what did you do in the past to watch the games.

Log onto your neighbors WiFi. :p
Fox is showing the games so an outdoor/attic antenna will work and actually look better than cable.

I don’t live local so I pay for a friends Sunday ticket package and he gives me email and I use the Sunday Ticket app. Will have to do until DTV loses it.

They are a number of iptv subscriptions , $25 mo. I used it last season, full Sunday ticket etc. there’s a bit of lag, so be prepared for about 2 minutes being the game

What did you use last year? Did you get Sunday ticket. I thought that was exclusive although I don’t know much about tv in general. I have not watched any TV since week the playoff loss to the Saints

If you have really good internet, go buy yourself a Roku. Once you get it hooked up, add locast as a channel. $5 a month "donation".

For additional sports channels like NFL Network and ESPN, you can pick up sling TV and add that as a channel to Roku. Ranges between 20 to 50 a month depending on the package you want.

If you have a ROKU etc. I think there are apps for free local channels.

I put up one of those old school, aluminum ones I removed a direct tv dish, clamped the antenna to the dish pole and reused the d.Tv coaxial cable. Picture is perfect. I'm on the NW side. I could never get CBS with the indoor rabbit ears.
