If you live in the Nashville area, why were you surprised the Titans game was shown over the Bills?

 

And why go to Olive Garden for Italian?  That's like going to BWW for wings.

 

Well when i turned on the TV i truly didn't know the Titans game was in the same time slot so i was just all ready to see the Bills & kind of forgot where i lived LMAO kind of goofy i know but when your a Bills fan you just watch for the Bills .

 

And the Olive garden thing i feel yah but i have yet to find better italian food here Olive garden is the wife favorite & i dig some of their stuff (Mostley their alcohol) they have a couple of places here that aren't bad nothing like those in the Buffalo area though Caraba's & Demo's are pretty good .

 

But you nailed it with the B-Dubs for wings !! There's no food like home food from the Buffalo area that's for sure !!

For those of you with cable ...

 

I have Spectrum as my cable provider.  They have tiers of channel groups/offerings.  

 

When games began airing exclusively on NFLN, I called to upgrade to the tier that included NFLN so I could watch the Bills game.

 

The rep told me that I could upgrade to the higher tier, watch the game, then call back and downgrade to the previous tier .... and that I'd only be charged for one day of the higher tier.

 

This is another option for those without smart TVs or Roku, firestick, etc., and it's easy/inexpensive.

Just go to a bar or restaurant that has the game.  If you can tolerate a small picture on a phone or notepad you can sign up for NFL + with a 7 day free trial & cancel after the game.  

 

Are they still offering that 7 day free trial?

Take a trip to Europe then sign up for NFL Game Pass

 

Does that work?  the NFL app seems to not pay attention to VPN location but use the location of the physical phone (which is harder to spoof)

and

Watching the games only works on a mobile device, not a computer

 

So I'm thinking it would stop working?

For prime-time games, NFL+ lets you watch live, regardless of your location. It's only if you want to use it for Sunday daytime games (i.e., competing with Sunday Ticket) that you have to be outside the US.

Apologies if already suggested, but I believe YouTube TV is free the first 7 days. Maybe sign up for that and cancel after a day or 2

 

Oh, does it show NFL network?  I did not know that!

All resolved.  I have had cable TV for like 24 years here. I was still on Xfinity Legacy Plan with Legacy Boxes... LoL... changed my plan... Comes to be like $10 more/month... Swapped out the Legacy Boxes with DVR, etc...

 

All good!

 

Watching the Bills finish off the Jets right now! Why didn't Jets kick onside kick?? Dummies...

 

Thanks for all the help... @BringBackFergy

But I was a legacy.  I needed new boxes. Are they BSing me?... Supposedly they couldn't push the higher package on what I had. I guess there is no going back now. 

 

Got the bigger box with DVR, second TV's STB is smaller... But both work the same... 

 

I must have been in stone age. I never bit through the years when they tried to get me to "upgrade." I never knew NFLnetwork was an added channel on Cable TV... Thought it was this magical land like AmazonPrime TV...

 

Thank goodness @BringBackFergywas here to help!

I just switched to youtube tv from direct stream.  youtube is offering a 2 week free trial to new subscribers but I did that for another game.  It's $15 per month less than my comparable plan.  Direct did a lot of early adopters wrong, promising lifetime pricing of $35 per month and free HBO.  first they increased the price (now at $80) and then dropped HBO.   bunch of shysters.  one plus was getting Sunday ticket from them but after this season that's done.  I hope they go belly up.

You would need to sign up for the offshore version of NFLGP which carries all games and archives them.  I'm telling you, I get better Bills coverage than I ever got in Rochester.
