Is there a way to watch an "out of town" game when the local team is playing at the same time on a given network?
i.e. My DH would like to watch the Packers (Green Bay) games. We winter near Tampa, so when a network is carrying a game on xxx day at xxx o'clock, all that is shown is the Tampa game.
We have most of the streaming network apps, but they know your location and still only present the local teams.
Thanks

I found a solution that works for me. Used the fire stick in my man cave to make the tv there โsmartโ. Went to ustvgo.tv site per a recommendation and viola, I now have all the channels I could possibly need. If dish has to pull channels in the future I will now know what to do. Canโt record stuff so not as convenient, but a great work around and so far anyway, free.
BTW these channel fights are always about the money. Over the years we have seen several but most are quickly resolved I suspect this one may not be but after Saturday I do not care. BTW, ESPN listed this game as on ABC, which is why I was going there and our local NBC channel we still get does not show it on Saturday.

And finally.. one of the things I do not understand is why you have to pay DISH to pay the local ABC affilate when the Station so that their viewership, and thus advertising income increases. Seems they should be paying dish.
The sat coverage is limited and maybe by the same viewing area based on address. Not sure of the limiting factors but they exist.
Not to be confused with moving (within a spot beam) the receiver like in a RV but if you notify them you'll get whatever locals apply to the new service address.
Also By Federal law.. (yes there is one) DISH is REQUIRED to deliver any station you can pick up direct, over the air. So you can make a Federal case out of it. You will still miss the game if you do that. but I'd love to see it happen.
Not sure what's required but I suspect that stations can be removed for various reasons. Sat can only provide the local ABC for example but why would they be required to provide it? Clearly if they don't provide ABC they will lose members and hence they will have to pay to broadcast the station.

This is by no means typical since conditions were perfect. The Sensar (aka Batwing) is about the only RV antenna with the broad VHF element which gives it good reception for RF channels 2 thru 13. It also has a separate section for the UHF channels.
Sensars and any other RV antenna are a pretty poor choice for any OTA reception unless you can physically be within 20 miles of the station transmitter antenna and there is no trees, hills or buildings in the way..

How about an antenna and watching the OTA broadcast - or are you so far up a holler you have to pipe in the sunlight?
