At this point there's probably some gay porn out there with me in it so no I don't feely very compelled to use a VPN for that.

You can watch games/Redzone live if your VPN makes it look like you're in another country.

More detail please (not on gay porn). Yahoo sports is showing the game in my area so I'm good for today, but want to be able to watch future games.

I have Surfshark VPN. So you purchase Gamepass? What else.

 

[Brewskies]

Thank you very much. I am calling tomorrow morning. I will report the response. Thanks again

DirecTV is very busy, it must be because of Football today. Long wait times. They are suggesting to call back at night. I will wait until Tuesday night, no football. I will see if I can get someone to take me to a sports bar that has the NFL package from DirecTV. Not many bars signed up this year, too expensive for only a few customers, they say.

You're spoofing the IP using the VPN, but I'm pretty sure you need International Gamepass. That said, I would think you could spoof the IP to a New England server and the game would be then "local" and viewable on regular gamepass as well. Basically, you just set the VPN to show your origination server as the locale in which you want it (could use Florida or Alabama today as well - they too are getting the Pats game)

I tried doing that with Yahoo Sports. Listing locations on my phone where games (preseason) wouldn't be out of market. It didn't work. Not sure if YS has a way of detecting your actual GPS location but Surfshark has a way to mock your phone GPS location and it still didn't work. So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Obviously Gamepass may be totally different. Do you need to install vpn on your router maybe?

I know how to use computers but when it comes to networking, vpn and such, I know enough to make me dangerous. I'm good for today since it's both on local station + YS. Thanks

Spoofing to NE usually works but the NFL also looks for those blocks of IP’s that are VPN so try multiple IP’s / servers if your getting blocked.

I'm the same - can work out most issues but when it gets too technical I'm out. Which is the ultimate irony given my last job...that I'm not allowed to talk about other than it was network defense stuff.

 

[SouthernPatriot]

So pissed!
Here in Atlanta the “regional” game we get at 4:30 is Cleveland vs KC!
How in the name of your mama is the game more regional than Miami or Boston?

I just turned my VPN on and let it pick fastest server (HOU). Now all games in the HOU market show as "coming up live" on Yahoo Sports. I guess it is working because now I don't have the Pats game, lol.

This may be a way to watch games w/o gamepass. Idk.

I can usually share my phone screen (smartview) with smart tv. YS says that feature isn't allowed but if your patient it eventually lets you share.

I'll try changing to different locations to see if those games show as "coming up live."

I think you can also buy a proxie, rather than a VPN, and ask for a New England area code.

Maine, in this case: MountProxies – The best dedicated premium 4G LTE proxies

 

[venecol]

So I switched location to New York and it kept the HOU market games. Tried restarting the YS app and nothing. I restarted the phone. Turned on VPN to NYC. Started YS app. Turned on phone location. It now shows NYC market games (Giants & Jets).

It seems to be working but looks like you have to reset phone to switch locations? Anyway, this appears to be an option to more expensive ones (maybe).

 

[Hyped]

Yup, DirecTV with the goddamn dish....is the only game in town.

Some cities are eligible for Sunday Ticket streaming....but the details are fuzzy on that when you call DTV.

DTV Streaming does not have Sunday Ticket. Already confirmed.

Get the dish...or go to a bar...or do game pass at midnight.

 

[Ring 6]

I've been watching all games on gamepass for years and they're live (maybe a few seconds later than broadcast). It's the easiest thing in my opinion since you can watch on your browser from any computer, or on their app from any other device (including smart tvs).

I just tried to watch live on my game pass and it’s not allowed saying game is in market and not available. Only allows live audio.

 

[TBR]

I highly DON'T reccomend SportSurge dot net to pick from one of their many links to each game

 

[PatsfanTN]

Youtubetv. Spoof your location from a tablet and cast it to your tv. easy as hell….

I’ll actually be doing this all season and today.

 

[Pats2000]

Here I am in Northern Virginia and it looks like tomorrow’s opener isn’t available on local TV. Right now I basically use streaming services and no longer have regular cable. Short of installing DirectTV (which I’m not willing to do) I am willing to pay whatever it takes to watch the game legally and reliably. But I can’t figure out how to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Going to a bar is not an option — I’ve got kids to watch. Thanks for your suggestions.

I get international gamepass and VPN into a European country, then stream it to my TV. That way you don't get local game blackouts in case you don't have cable

 

[mike_usagisan]

I’m watching on Paramount+ with Chrome (and the change of location to Boston) and it’s working perfectly. Really happy how easy this is. I ordered a Chromecast so I can put it on tv next time.

 

[Wordsmyth]

Ended up listening to the game on Sirius XM.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Hopefully Amazon will take over in 2022 and just allow everyone to stream any game any where...
