Where do I sign up for that?

Fubo is the best streaming service for sports IMO. About $120/month, includes Red Zone, 1k hours dvr storage, Root Sports, can share subscription with two others.

FOX, (including Foxsports dot com) currently doesn't require any ID or a log-in. It can be accessed by anyone, anywhere in the World. What you see depends on your US IP address - so set your VPN to Seattle. The downside is it's only free for 1 hour. However there is a 15-second work around, detailed here. It means you can load it just before the game begins and refresh your free hour during the end of quarter break.

Later edit: If you want the custom blocks you'll need to change fox dot com to foxsports dot com.

I wonder if you can change your location to another location to pick up another hour. Say Seattle for the first hour and Boise for the second hour. We usually get the game here on Fox or CBS or preseason on ABC.

Another thing. I have a broadband card not supported by the service I am provided anymore. It works tho. But when there is a lot of communication, it gets warm and loses connection. How much data are you getting for the streaming? I am considering starlink and going with the 50 gb for $50 mini per month and the 299 for initial parts layout. Thanks. Most of my watching is over the air programming. With that is the fact that I can go remote too and maybe over the internet phone.

2 games, week 6 and week 16 are prime games. I think I can go fishing those games and be in a camper at a nice place.

I didn't get Peacock on purpose, but, my Mother IL has a Comcast account, and they just offered a $15 bundle of Peacock-Apple-Netflix.

My wife and I were already subscribed to the latter two, so, that's a win. With the Disney bundle, we also have D+-Hulu-Max, so, not a bad deal. In the future we can probably live with dropping the new bundle.

I already have Peacock so this poll isn’t for me. That being said, I really strongly dislike watching football on a steaming service. Seems like nothing more than an obvious money grab. The quality is never as good and it’s a pain in the ass (takes me a few seconds of navigating my smartass tv) to go to a streaming app. Maybe I’m just too old school, and I look too fondly back at the days where are options were channels 2, 4, 6, and 7. And no one really watched 7 because, well it’s PBS.

Nobody “needs” Peacock to watch NFL games. We have YouTube TV and don’t miss a thing. This also included the Olympic Games. I didn’t fall for the marketing ploy.

The free hour is based on your device ID & IP combination. You can reset the hour with another IP address. You would have to clear cookies etc. If you have a windows 10 machine clearing the DNS cache with the method i've outlined is the quickest and easiest method. If you have ccleaner loaded on your device then adding the DNS cache to the cleaning list will also work.

If you wanted to watch the Eagles-Packers game live, you would have needed it. Same with the Apple Cup this Saturday.

If not seeing it live doesn't make a difference to you, then you can watch all the games replayed on NFL Network. A friend of mine never watches a game live because he hates the commercials, so he will record the replay then watch it days later, fast forwarding through the commercials. Not for me but it works for him.
