506 Sports This Weekend's Jan 1st Televised Games

[mgcolby]

I have the Fire Stick with Kodi so every game is televised for me. Best $70 I've ever spent.

If I could find a reliable non-choppy HD source for the games I would drop Sunday Ticket and stick one of those in my 6 TV's in my basement. However every time I play with the football stuff its very choppy at best. Kodi on Firestick is awesome. I bought my first one and then learned how to do them myself. So now I have several and hook up friends and family. It takes about 5 minutes to clone them.

Some of the web sites I've read say that you need to use a VPN so your internet provider doesn't flag you as watching restricted content. Do you find that to be the case? I'm on comcast for internet, so I'm presuming they'd be a **** about such things.

I'm in Tampa too. This is one of the two times a year I'm happy the Phins are regularly on TV around here...

That defensive scheme won't work against the Pats.

SportsDevil and then either ATDHEnet or RojaDirecta has pretty good picture quality. Not HD but close enough. You can tell who is who.

Look up sportsmania it's a UK based site about $60 for a year but almost all sports in HD and some in UHD if your device supports 4k. I use my macbook with Kodi and a 4k display looks amazing. Sadly I travel a lot and have to use SD links on slower internet but above 10mb/s and you're fine for HD

I get the Pats again here in Tulsa knowing that by mid 3rd quarter CBS will switch to another game (and if they don't, the game day thread will be unreadable)

 

[Joey007]

Awesome! Can someone explain to me though why there are two games at both of the 1 and 4 times for most areas this week?

I think it has something to do with integrity.

Pats heah in greatah Tamper FL arear!!!!
No smoke filled Sports Lounge Sunday!

They can still smoke inside there?

 

[Dragda]

I got the NFL Sunday ticket early in the season after thieving a choppy broadcast via Kodi. I haven't needed it after the Cleveland game. Every game since has been televised locally or a national broadcast.

Florida has a powerful business lobby camped out in Tallahassee, which coincidentally is not at all centrally located in the state. The legislature amended the no-smoking bill to placate the bar/beverage industry when it went into effect back around 2000 or so.

If food is declared to be incidental and secondary to the bar business then the owner can, if they so desire, allow smoking within the establishment. There is a cutoff (20% I believe) for the maximum amount of business derived from food sales in order for the bar to allow smoking. I can't ever recall any bar that applied for the smoking waiver being denied. From what I have been told the bookkeeping is not heavily scrutinized by whatever state agency okays the exemption.

You clearly have not entered some of Port Saint Lucie's finest bars and pubs. Even if you don't smoke, you could put away a pack in under 10 minutes.

That's interesting. FL must be one of the last states holding out.

I like not stinking like smoke after a night at the bar but I used to be a smoker and I liked when I could smoke inside, especially in the winter. Whatevs, people can choose what to do.

Had to wash all my clothes immediately after last week's game. Always wondered why bar only served chips. Ex-smoker of parents' cigs.
