good morning, steeler fans and friends

Good morning? I've been up for almost 8 hours now. I just had lunch.

lol @ eastern time zone

 

[kramer1]

Well, I wake up between 3 and 4 every morning. By the time 10 am rolls around I'm starving.

Just waking about 1/2 hr ago.

I'm asleep by 8:30. It's a good thing my team never gets a prime time game.

So now the truth comes out. The Bengals have purposefully tanked all these years so Kramer won't miss a prime time game.

Well, they are fucking me basically 7 times a season since I have to watch the game on my 15'' laptop instead of my 60'' tv.

Living on the west coast, I know that scenario oh too well.

 

[whyoh]

we have a theater that gets the ticket and plays a couple games every week....and they always seem to play the steeler games when they aren't on tv

 

[kramer1]

I have Sunday Ticket. God damn blackout rule....

Move your service address to Cleveland. I believe it should be close enough that you'll still get a good feed on your locals. You'd be forced to get all Cleveland local channels, but I never pegged you as a guy that watches the local news anyway. With your service address being in Cleveland, you'd get the Bengals game on your Sunday Ticket.

This is something that people do when they don't get a good selection of local channels. They find a city that is close and make up a fake service address in that city. Keep your billing address the same.

There are tons of internet forum posts about this if you want to find out more.

Alternatively, you could just move your service address to the closest town outside of the blackout radius. This would then allow you to have that town's local channels and therefore get the bengals game.

I imagine you'd have to reset your boxes or something too? I'll do a google on this. Thanks.

You actually don't have to do shit. You talk to a directv service tech on the phone - They are trained to ask no questions. I think you might turn your box on and off once and it's finished.

Changing my local channel lineup?

Here's an old forum post with a similar story. You can find a bunch of examples if you look.

Sweet. I'll text my good friend bearcatdave for his address so I won't even have to make one up.

 

[cravnravn]

You dont have to do shit Kramer except tell a little lie to the dumbasses at Direct TV, I live in Pa, and gave them my moms address in Baltimore, in an instant I get Baltimore Channels instead of those fraud Pa channels..

 

[dare2be]

I'm not on Direct, but I can attest to the power and ease of "moving".

 

[kramer1]

Why haven't I heard of this before?

Will this effect my Fox Sports channels, though? I gotta have my Bearcats basketball and Reds games....
