I believe you can stream it to your phone using the NFL app and watch the ball as a pixel but don't take my word for that. The $15 for Sling Blue for a month seems a low price to watch on my TV. I pay for the same reasons I pay for music. I'm not on a high horse here. I've viewed pirated content before. But it's not right so I try to avoid it unless I suddenly find myself unable to see a game and can't find an alternative. This thread was meant to give people a heads up to alternatives. living in the south leaves me no choice. I'm going to watch my bills and I see no reason to pay if I don't have to. I'm sure they wont miss that little chump change I'm saving. 1

Is that not happening this Saturday? 2 hours ago, Sundancer said: Only in the local markets. What really stinks is that Rochester and Syracuse were considered "local" markets for blackouts back when they blacked out games if they weren't sold out, but were not considered local markets for carrying games. Believe the blackout radius was 90 miles, the radius for carrying games was 60 miles. Sling TV is $15 a month, but they’re offering 40% off the first month. That means it will cost you $9 and you can cancel after that. You’ll need to choose the blue package.was

That said, if you have a VPN service they usually have a phone app. You can use that to spoof your location I think.

However, since I'm not positive I won't say definitively. If I can remember, I'll look tonight and update this post with new information. Best of luck regardless! From this link at Amazon, it looks like they just show Thursdays, NFL Network shows its other ones only itself. I found this on other sites too. https://www.amazon.com/primeinsider/video/tnf-schedule.html 3 minutes ago, Steve O said: What really stinks is that Rochester and Syracuse were considered "local" markets for blackouts back when they blacked out games if they weren't sold out, but were not considered local markets for carrying games.

You need to get Sling Blue for $25 and with the discount it's $15. I almost made that mistake. 1
TigerJ Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Well, I've got my cell phone and the yahoo sports app, so I can get it on my phone. Any of you techno-wizards out there know how to hook up your cel phone to the TV?
jimmy10 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 How stupid. Why tuck away on cable TV a game featuring old guard vs new with the division on the line? Especially at a time no other games are being played. 1

CBS and Fox do cross-flex games sometimes and carry a game from the other conference. Also, NBC in my area is showing LA Rams at SF this Saturday, in addition to NFL Network. 1

But i think only on mobile devices -- you could always screen mirror to your TV. Or go to any sports bar. Don't they usually block it from being able to be screen mirrored? I know through verizon on the NFL app they do.

Believe the blackout radius was 90 miles, the radius for carrying games was 60 miles. I was watching football on a Sunday on NBC in the late 80's in Rochester. The Bills were the late, 4 PM game. The first game ran late, and NBC there was not allowed to switch to the start of the Bills game, since Rochester is considered a secondary market. In Buffalo, NBC switched. I was furious.

Obviously it's not the same as TV quality from satellite or fios but he's already short on options. 1

Blowing up the image from your phone to your TV will not yield an acceptable result. Try it out. Maybe you'll be OK with it but I'd be surprised.
