I’m going to get paramount+ but how do I VPN into a Buffalo server for the games? With a VPN service provider like NordVPN OpenVPN or the like.

Not broadcasting all games to all fans (the sole reason all these millionaires exist) is nothing but greed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father up on the roof putting/adjusting the outdoor aerial antenna on the chimney, circa 1970, yelling down to my mother to yell to me in the house to turn the antenna receiver knob. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The Nexstar Verizon dispute is OVER! All local stations that weren't being shown on Verizon Fios TV are back on the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Antenna? It's not like they have FIOS in areas in the middle of nowhere where you can't pick up a broadcast signal. If you have FIOS you are in an area with a decent sized population where it should be easy to pick up a signal. A $10-15 antenna from Walmart is all you need. I know these stations want to make you believe it's some huge problem, but it's broadcast for free over the air still. CBS was shown on broadcast TV long before FIOS and will be on long after they are gone or stop carrying it. It's actually comical how many people freak out about this kind of stuff and fail to realize there is an easy free alternative available Edited October 28, 2022 by Big Turk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was traveling up in PA at the time, think it was the local CBS or Fox station. So no one is immune to this. I have you tube TV as own two houses in different locations so one way to have one TV package including locals usable in two locations. Also is one of the better packages WRT available sports stations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also meant if I wanted to watch a show I had to watch it only during the time it was on. Free TV has its disadvantages. I'm willing to pay not to have them.

Not sure how the signal is down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an OTA digital inverter with built in DVR when you put a USB memory clip in. They're available. I'd program it to record twilight zone every night at 1230 am, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Paramount+ is always an option...think there is a free trial and it's only like $7-8 a month. Only issue is you will be behind the live broadcast so if you have notifications of any kind of your phone you'll get them prior to the play happening.

Also not compatible with my cable box, and the last time I recorded on a VCR, it was in low def. 13 hours ago, boyst said: That's not true.

It's true when I didn't invest in more equipment that 99% of the time I don't need. Not worth 1% to add that stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
