Super Bowl Streaming Options - AKA Help for the Cord Cutters

Submitted by boliver46 on February 1st, 2020 at 4:24 PM

Hi all,

Folks were helpful with the NFL playoff streams, so was hoping someone had a line on a Streaming option for the Super Bowl tomorrow for us Cord Cutters.

I know it is early, but want to be prepared vs a last minute scramble.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks man - for whatever reason, they don't work for us.  I like in a Subdivision that literally has "Woods" in the name.  Guessing it is the interference of the trees, but we've tried 3 different antennas and no luck.  

Thanks though!

Thanks Othernel - I get it.  Google search is great!

However, was hoping for some insight for things people have actually tried from this blog. 

Prior to getting feedback from this Blog during the playoffs, I had tried a multitude of suggestions from "The Googles" and they either didn't work, or were super sketchy.

I trust this group a lot more than most, so was hoping for solid feedback.

Were you aware that you can get some local major network channels for free, without having to pay for a cable or streaming service subscription? If you were, you’re ahead of 30% of adults, most of them young enough that they wouldn’t remember the fuzzy, rabbit-eared past. 
According to The Wall Street Journal, that statistic comes from a survey commissioned by the National Association of Broadcasters, a trade group for broadcast stations, who are the ones paying for the transmitters that put out the signals that now only a minority of Americans use.

You get local channels depending on the area in which you live. If you live in a sparsely populated area, no local channels may be available yet.

That being said, I have HEARD of a particular internet-based avenue that OTHERS have used (never me personally, obviously - it IS illegal) called:

home.nflbite.com

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to answer my door. The FBI is here!

If you have a smart tv or can cast to a tv then use a free trial of YouTube TV or Hulu or Roku or whatever else there is. Most have at least a free week in there.
