Yeah, I love searching through euro-pirate sites that are constantly being taken down, then once I find it watching the game with constant popovers and overloaded skipping low resolution streams. Even better if I have to install a virus or two in order to watch or have the stream interrupted due to DMCA complaint right at the most important part. That's tech Savvy!
Correction: in MOST of central MA, you get EITHER Verizon or Charter, but you don't get to choose which.
FYI....there are a lot of "old timers" that are far more savvy than you are technology-wise....who do you think invented this stuff?
Well said PatriotsReign! I contributed a small amount to fiber optic wavelength multiplexing technology (which is important to high speed internet) back in the 80's, but now as a physics professor I understand plenty of the tech principles but I'm a complete dummy when it comes to some of the stuff YOUGOTMOSSED is talking about. I didn't grow up with an IPAD under my pillow like many of the youngsters. Bobbutts, my experience in trying to watch sports on cable is similar to yours, streams being interrupted, viruses, etc.
Along those line, YOUGOTMOSSED or one of you other brilliant tech savvy youngsters: Could you give me a clear simple explanation of how to watch Patriots games on the internet for a non-local? Currently the best I can do is watch one of those horrendous blurry pirated live streams (with all of the problems that bobbutts pointed out) and then watch the game next day on NFL Gamepass. I don't mind paying some money to accomplish this (although I would rather not pay a king's random to the evil empire that tried to destroy TB), but it is difficult for me to figure out who is legit and who is not. Many of these internet sites want me to download some type of special viewer, and that makes me nervous, I don't want to have my computer taken over by Chinese hackers. Can one of you youngsters give an "old timer" some help?
What a shame, huh?Karma is a ***** ain't it?

I hope someone at ESPN gets fired for this....preferably Chris Mortensen
Set up a virtual environment, watch from there and remove/wipe when done. little to no chance to infect your main system.
I am stuck with Charter. What a god-awful cable provider. HATE IT
Hey, it could be worse. The Comcast merger could have gone through in which case you'd have Comcast with their stealth data caps on 'unlimited' data. At least Charter doesn't do that. My major complaint against Charter is their reliability.
True. Charter is so flaky for TV.
Who's your cable provider? Lots of providers are offering lower cost tiers without ESPN to try to win back cordcutters.
Yes, that's exactly why many of us have become cable cutters, we hate the idea of "if you want some things you have to pay for all kinds of other things you don't want".
To ESPN it's the goose laying the golden eggs. It's very hard to find a way to transition from the current model to another one, and it seems they might have to do so very soon.
