So football time of the year is here and on Weekend all the
guys will be watching their favorite football teams play all day long.
What happens though if your favorite team is not on your local cable
channel? There are a few options that you have to be able to watch
football teams that are not on your local television station.
1. Buy the NFL Sunday Ticket Package from Direct TV. This
is a package that the NFL sells that allows you to watch all the football games
every week. You can watch the games on your television or you can watch
them online through your computer. There are a few reasons why all
football fans may not like this option. First, it can be quite
expensive. The package costs around $500 per year and that is just for
the NFL games. You also need to subscribe to Direct TV’s regular service,
which can be anywhere from $45 to $150 per month. And last I checked they
lock you into a two year contract. So if you want to watch the NFL
football games only, you can’t. A lot of people I talked to would buy the
package if they could just spend $500 and receive it, but the two year
commitment and having to buy Direct TV’s service also made then say thanks but
no thanks. The second issue is that Direct TV needs to install a
satellite dish on your roof. If you live in a condo complex where this is
not allowed then you are out of luck. Also, if you have large trees
around your house then the satellite may not work. Direct TV will
actually send a guy out and he will use a machine that can tell if the trees
will block the signal. If they will, then no Direct TV or Sunday NFL
Ticket package for you.
2. You can watch football online live on your computer. This
option has really become popular the last few years as I’ve heard about many
people who do this. There used to be good sites like Justin.tv where
people would broadcast games by hooking up their computer to their local
cable. This way people would share games from all over the country.
But Justin.tv was asked not to allow this and so they started banning people
for doing this. Now, on Sunday you can no longer watch football online
there, it is filled with all spam streams from what I’ve seen. Another
option is try to use Google to find games each week to watch. A friend of
mine told me that he didn’t have much luck trying this approach last
year. And the final option is you could use a service such as Footballed.com . I don’t have
too much information on services such as this, but my friend who had no luck
with Google told me about Footballed.com and this is what he uses to watch
football online now.
3. You can watch the free broadcasts that
the NFL puts online. The NFL will broadcast the Sunday night
football game live online for everyone to watch. Most people who have
cable television would have been able to see this anyhow, but if you did not
have cable this is a nice perk to be able to watch the game broadcast live
officially by the NFL.
Good Luck & Enjoy
