Pretty sure they're bracing for the streaming wave of the future and know their cash cow is fucking done with. When my wife returned the DTV equipment to FedEx the lady working said they'd been seeing way more satellite stuff coming through lately than usual.

I got pretty much no push-back when I told them I was done as well. Just "Hey, try our streaming service".

I guess folks in the sticks don't have the choice and they know they'll always have the rural subscriber, but anyone with decent internet can get a streaming option for a fraction of the price.

I don't know anything about streaming. Towards the end of last season, I started using the reddit streams and had no problems. That said, with what seems like a) more people dropping DTV and going the stream route, and b) potentially more national interest in the Chiefs, will that have an impact on the ease of being able to find a quality stream?

It looks like KC will have 5-6 national tv games, so the DTV streaming service seems like more $$$ than I want to spend just to watch KC games, but I keep seeing people throwing out reddit like its going to be a given, which sounds too good to be true week in and week out.

Outside of the college option, what streaming service are they talking about?

So...while I'm waiting for a response from my nephew regarding my use of his email address to get ST Student...

I'm a tech idiot, so forgive me if this is stupid - is there a way to trick your Xbox/Computer/Whatever into thinking it's located in KC and watch the games on the CBS All Access App?

For the love of God kotter, please don't try to make yourself sound sexy. :-)

I'll be doing the ear buds and slinging the fly rod while listening until the weather turns wintery except for a couple games like the Donx and the Steelers.

After watching the refs penalize the Chiefs until Steelers got their entitled touchdown to win and head hunt helmet to helmet with impunity via Roger Goodell the NFL won't see a dime from me directly probably ever again.

I'll follow Pat at the local pub, reddit, or ear buds via Q Country with Mitch & Lenny.

Off topic but does anyone know how to stream Hard Knocks?
[Reply]

$45 a month will get you free Sunday ticket. Or I can drive to a local restaurant and watch for $1.50 a beer. Pretty much a wash, and I’m not sure where they could put the dish because of tree cover.

Is there any way to get Red Zone other than through directv (satellite or streaming)?
[Reply]

Dish network offers it.
[Reply]

Just about every cable and satellite provider carries it at this point...

I haven't ever used it, but BRC says you can do it (albeit with a particularly unhelpful "google it" suggestion).


[Reply]

I followed his "google it" suggestion and all I found was how to make it so that Chrome either asks you to show your location every time you visit a site or that Chrome will never ask you. I didn't see anywhere to set it to a specific location. My assumption was that it would require a VPN service.

Here's what I found. Worth trying if you have CBS All Access.

For KC, Lat of 39.10, and Long of -94.58 should do it from what I can tell. I bet you could also find an extension to do it if you dug around a bit.

You should do that full-time as a business. Advertise nationwide and charge people $25. You could work from home. Or anywhere with cell phone service for that matter. I'll be your manager and take care of all the red tape and bureaucratic odds-and-ends for only $5/call, and that way you can just focus on working your magic.
