I had the stream-based NFL ticket, but it sucked. It only had Cowboy games when they were not shown via a local TV station. But without local TV, and streaming only, that meant I had to do without those games (or find some way to get them online that may or may not have been kosher). Plus, I couldn't record the games. I had to watch them live. They may have some kind of DVR that will record them, but I was already annoyed and canceled the service.

Would you be able to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) like Express VPN to fake your location? That’s what I do when using Netflix outside of the country.

Do the smart thing and eliminate TV from your life altogether like me.

I am so fed up with network TV and all the indoctrination. I still like my true crime shows and The Cowboys.

I've eliminated bad TV, but there is such a thing as quality television.

I get tired of the indoctrination. Top Gun Maverick didn’t pick sides. It made for a great movie.

You can do the weekly hustle for free streams, but it's not worth it for me. I work many Sundays throughout the season. I pay for Sunday Ticket using my little brother's email (.edu) account to knock the price down to $100 or so.
Edit: Another benefit is there are pretty much apps on every platform so you can watch on mobile or a tablet. Comes with NFL Redzone, which is God's gift to football when you aren't watching any particular game.
Not sure what the non-student price is, but the student price is well worth it. $7/week for every non-televised game in your region is hard to beat.

Thanks, I will likely do the same. I travel a lot so I’m likely to be watching on personal devices.
Can you watch like a DVR or do you have to watch live?

buy a cheap tv antenna for fox, cbs, and nbc games, go to a bar for monday and thursday games.
I used to do this a few years ago. There are little rectangle antennas that you can stick on the wall by the tv. It worked well.

Cannot DVR as far as I know. I mean, if you really want to go that route you can likely find some repositories online that host every game after-the-fact.

I'm not sure why, but regular rabbit ears quit working on my TV. I'm in an apartment complex, so I can't put up a roof antenna.

I have Youtube TV and it lets me watch most of the games live, I'm in Houston, and what I don't get to watch live I get to see on replay on NFL Network. It has a built in DVR that will let you record all NFL games, just the Cowboys, or whatever.

I travel extensively so I wonder if I can watch YouTube TV out of the Dallas market using a VPN to fake my location. I’ll have to try a subscription and try it. Thanks for the report.

Those can work though usually only if you live close to the broadcast towers. I tried one, but only got a few channels that were super glitchy. I'm 60ish miles away. I had to put up an outdoor antenna. Don't get a reliable ABC but that's ok.
