I really want to cut the cord with cable. I can run netflix and maybe something else to get most of my shows but it's football that keeps me corded up.

I only have cable because my current apartment complex requires a cable fee of $50. If it wasn't for that, my wife and I would just have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Although, the cable fee helps with having HBO GO :-)

Here's a good article on the streaming options available for NFL and football in general:

NFL games are going online, but here's the catch

The new CBS All Access adds a new wrinkle to this. I'm pretty sure if you sign up for that (something like $6/month) you can stream any network telecast. Of course that's just CBS.

Just added the CBS All Access app on Roku. Hoping to get the Rams game on CBS at 3p. It's not on locally here in Texas and I believe CBS All access only gives you the local CBS channel but I hope I'm wrong. It's a 7 day free trial so I can cancel next week if it doesn't have the expanded NFL games.

Anyone know of free streaming on the internet for NFL? Last year had a lot of options. Seems this year there's a lot less

Also thought about the NFL game pass. $100 for the year but you can't watch the game until after the live broadcast.

Anyone familiar with it?

I'm hearing Sling and the other alternatives aren't working out for some during college football season.

I have Dish and hate missing college games.....

Sling gives me ESPN ESPN 2 and 3 + ACC network. Plus antenna gives me Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS so I have plenty of college to watch.

FS1 and 2 not so much so the west coast games I don't see slot of.


Hoping CBS lets me watch the Rams. You can expand the sling deal and get all Fox networks + NFL network but it doesn't do a lot when on CBS

The guy that advised me that is on PST and couldn't get the Washington Huskies.

I pay more for Vue ($42 a month i think) but they recently added ABC so it has the 4 major OTA carriers. It has a few ESPN's, FS1, and FSSW. The only channel it doesn't have that I wish it did is Comedy Central.

Yeah sling TV has comedy central but no Fox sports. I'll try the Fireschtick & Kodi. Tried CBS all access last week but it only gets you the local CBS station. Tough to get my Rams in Dallas.

Kodi is for crooks. If you cant afford it dont steal it.

Well my kodi server got shutdown. I saw this coming as fewer streams where operating as you went along. No complaints though, got my money's worth out of it and it may get fixed.

Cable companies are crooks, raping their customers at every turn. Monopolies for the most part, which is supposed be illegal, but guess your OK with that.
