Looking to watch football but you don't want to loving DIE under the crushing weight of adware from lovely sites? Not to worry! All you need to do is throw money at the problem like a real man with a job. What's that? No money? gently caress! Well, here's at least my method for watching games in TYOOL 2017. 1) If you have a TV, get a cheapass TV antenna. The best seller on Amazon is like, $23 one time. Hook that poo poo into your coaxial input and you're good to go (once you angle the drat thing right). This will work for many years. 2) For Thursday night games, Amazon has the rights to stream these over Prime. If you have a prime account, you're set for: code:3) SlingTV Blue pretty much covers all games you could possibly want of your team (be sure to reg an address in the correct zip code for this). For $25/mo. Yeah it sucks to pay $125 for a season of football—and may not be worth itto you—but you could be some poor bastard getting hosed by Verizon or Comcast and aren't going to pay the extra $70/mo for cable that sucks rear end. The first 7 days are free, so it's also a handy deal to burn if you get in a jam and only need one week's worth of streaming. Once set up, you can cast it over your home network to whatever TV you want, or watch it on your computer/smartphone. There's also an international version out there, but I haven't tried it. 4) YouTubeTV Now this one's interesting, but also loving EXPENSIVE at $35/mo. Basically it works like YouTube does, but it has football mans on it and other channels. Neat.  I ain't ya grandma and I don't advise lookin' for streams or nothin' but people want to do that and I really don't care. Here's options that won't kill your computer, though I'm not sure that these are on the level. In fact, I know they aren't.1) NFL2Go This is a service you gift bitcoin to for a passcode, and then you can stream in HD every game from like, several years ago to today (whenever you read this). The account expires after a year, and that's that. But you have to make accounts to buy/sell bitcoin and holy gently caress lmao that's a dumbass idea. 2) Reddit Download AceStream player and then search for "reddit NFL streams" from there, you're going to find some weird-lookin' links that start with: code:3) Links These are varying shades of terrible loving horrible bullshit. But you can strap an internet jimmy hat on your browser... or five. I recommend: 3a) uBlock origin This dude allows you to highlight elements of a page to block out, so if you get a sea of popovers, just eyedropper that gently caress away. Gone forever. This is also a really kickass adblock measure. Works in Chrome. 3b) NoScript worked back in the day, but I haven't used it in a few years, so ymmv. Works in Firefox. 3c) AdBlock Plus. These people are shitheels. But their product kinda works, just not on major corporate sites. But for an internet condom it's Durex at worst. Works in Chrome, Firefox. Okay that's a starter, fill in this thread with questions or your own favorite methods. GonadTheBallbarian fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Sep 7, 2017 |

If you're a verizon customer, you can get some national and local games on your phone. You can upgrade it to include redzone for 2 bucks a month. Pretty great deal for redzone which is fairly hard to find otherwise. Sadly, this doesn't work on anything bigger than a smartphone. If you know your way around getting a VPN or something similar, you might be able to get a European GamePass subscription to work, which is an insane value. About 140 euro gives you every single game on demand, plus redzone, plus everything you get with American Gamepass (all 22 film, condensed games, etc.). troofs fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Just chiming in to say I switched from Gamepass to NFL2GO and it was a good move. Crispy clean stream on Kodi on a Fire TV, no buffering at all. Also no VPN required. Also like $100 cheaper

If you use that link (it's a referral) and you get $100 of BTC, they throw in another $10. It's been fun watching my $70 balance go from $68 to $87 and back to $77 in two weeks. Bitcoin: The Wave Of The Future! Honestly though, I mainly got it so I can get Redzone. Cheapest way to get a reliable Redzone stream. Neil Armbong posted:can someone invite me to nfl2go? Don't see a way to invite someone, but you can make a request directly on their site IIRC. Silly Burrito fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Yeah Coinbase is easy. I had to use BTC like two years ago and the $200 I left in my account became $2k so that's cool.

Alright, sorry, rant incoming. I know the answer is "contracts with cable companies" but why can't I buy a streaming package for my local team + red zone for, poo poo, even $20 a month to my TV/roku/PC? I bought my antenna and this stupid Tablo box like a year ago and it barely fuckin works or I have to go through a bunch of poo poo adware streams. I would only be breaking even like half way through this season if they charged $20 a month, and even then my current system is mediocre at best. NFL I want your product. Make it available to me for less than the crazy $350 for Sunday Ticket and I will gladly pay to watch your horrible bloodsport. It feels to me like music before Spotify: Give me my cheap unlimited watching and I'll probably end up buying all your dumb tickets, merchandise, etc. Instead I don't want to give you a god drat dime and it feels directly hostile to me as a "fan."

Canadians finally have a legit streaming option for Gamepass! DAZN bought the rights and sells monthly passes for $20 and yearly for $150. Not cheap, but considerably cheaper than what the NFL used to charge, plus it's all games. No blackouts for Thursday/Sunday/Monday nights. I think it has red zone too, plus all the assorted other garbage on NFL network. Plus they have and are adding other sports, if you enjoy other sports. They're still kind of flaky though, the PS4 app decided not to work Thursday night so I had to watch on my phone.

How does one go about acquiring an invite for NFL2go if you are friendless and uncharismatic?

A couple months ago my reason for requesting an invite was "because I want to watch the NFL and donate Bitcoin reliably" and I was approved immediately. I had issues using the native Chromecast setup during the Thursday night game though. Hopefully they fix that up because I'd like to not have to get an HDMI cable set up.

Is there a good repository for college streams? Normally I'm fine going to a bar to watch a game, but here's the big issue: 1. My favorite team plays in the Pac-12, and almost all of their games are on the Pac-12 network. Pac-12 isn't available on DirecTV because they hate each other. 2. Every bar around uses DirecTV because of their NFL package.

They have a 200 limit on CC purchases. Your CC may flag a fraud alert, but if you let it through, it is a quick way to do so.

My setup right now is just using Google Chrome on my desktop to stream a screen to my chromecast. Got kodi installed with plexus and have an acestream of red zone going just fine. Had some issues getting a reliable stream for an early game, but once I found a nice stream in Chrome I just casted that tab. Working great.

I'll try AceStream and Reddit stuff for the next couple of weeks and then decide if I want to stay with them or toss a few bitcoin at NFL2go. All I want is to watch Green Bay games while living in New Mexico. Broadcast TV usually sticks me with Bronco and Cowboy games on Sunday.
