    What stupidity and greed is going on there? 

    Either NBC or channel 3 are holding out and they are at odds with AT&T and DirecTV.

    I may possibly order a trial of Hulu live which is a pain in my ass because I have four big screen Samsung TVs 55 up to 75 in all of them only a few years old but still too old to run the Hulu Live app. I would have to get it through my Xbox in the downstairs

    It's TEGNA... own a bunch of local channels nationwide... NBC in your area and CBS in mine.

  • Is it on NBC? Only the NFL Network? DirecTV channel?

    You mentioned your aversion to a good old OTA amplified antenna.  If you don't mind a delay- sign up for the 7 day free trial of NFL game pass- and then cancel it....

    ↑↑↑ it's billionaires fighting billionaires. The deal is "local" stations are rarely independent anymore.  They're owned by big outfits like Tegna or Nexstar.  So for the subscription services like Directv, Dish, and others to have the right to carry that channel on their service- they have to pay  a royalty fee to the station's owner to carry the local signal.  And the negotiations of what exactly that royalty fee is worth have gotten progressively uglier and more contentious of late. Of course, you the consumer pay the increased freight when they eventually settle. 

    We had a similar issue Dayton way last year with Direct feuding with Nexstar, we lost CBS on satellite for over a week. As I mentioned to Steve- there is a solution assuming you don't live way out in the boondocks. The stations direct over the air signal is always available, so get thee to Amazon and buy an amplified indoor antenna ($20-30 bucks) problem solved.

    This problem of these greedy aceholes has effected Dish for years! We lost Sports Time Ohio in August of 2019 so no Indians games or Browns insider stuff! We also lost Fox 8

    3 weeks ago. same people TEGNA! Going to buy the antenna for that, but Dish says NO progress on the STO front....When the contract is up BYE!!!

    Oh I understand I could purchase antenna. I don't particularly relish the idea of mounting an outside the house and running the wire but...

    I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but the new antenna is much different. It's basically a pancake that gets flattened against your wall and has a small wire running to your TV. The good news is that you can simply take it down after the game there isn't any evidence it was there!

     Thanks, yes indeed a friend of mine has one of those  usb units and offered it to me because, as he said, it didn't work very well in his place so he went with an outdoor system that can be aimed depending on which channel he was trying to get.   

     and what the heck they might certainly work fine here.

    He actually says he gets channel 3 through the antenna fine. It was the fox stations through Youngstown that gave him problems because he can't get Fox very well.

    I will PM you a link just after the game starts. It's where I having been watching the Browns from SoCal, without DirecTV for 3yrs now. It is a clean site that you can check with virustotal.com (76 of the industries best AV/Malware engines all at the same time). The only program that doesn't like the link is Norton ConnectSafe DNS.... but it's Norton, so who cares?

    I have to wait until the game starts as it is the easiest way to get you there. You'll be about 2 plays behind real-time and you will have to click out of a couple of adds one per quarter, but that's the only negative thing I can say about it.

    Steve- you may not need an outside antenna....  This handy dandy site will tell you.  🙂   https://www.antennaweb.org/

    Just plug in your address, and it will tell you what stations are available, and what type of antenna you would need to pull them in.  I'm lucky (sort of) the Dayton antenna farm is only 6 miles from my house, but I'm on the wrong side of a hill.  An indoor amplified 10" mini-dish antenna plugged into an accessory OTA box that ties into my Directv receiver with a SATA cable (that Directv doesn't want you to know about) does fine- usually. You just have to go into settings and tell the receiver to program local channels into the play menu. The deal is when the FCC mandated TV stations go digital-  you either get the signal- or you don't. Not exactly. A poor signal will pixelate or intermittently freeze.   

    PS- when you go OTA- all the the local stations have subchannels with alternate programming. Our CBS has 7.1 (that's the stuff you usually see) and 7.2 MeTv oldies like Gilligan's Island, Gunsmoke and such.  Our local PBS has at least 5 subchannels, but I almost never watch them......

    Yeah, but you only get half as many channels.?

  • I have a few of those rectangle antennas that are about the thickness of a piece of paper. Things are like 4 bucks.  Screws into the back of the tv and has about a 10 foot cord. I pull it out and stick it to the wall or window and it's normally crystal clear after i move it around a few times. 

    I dumped all the cable and any live tv about two years back. Haven't missed a game yet, but I'm closer to Youngstown and pick up the stations from there.  The only game I had trouble with was the Browns Thursday night game, but i found a feed and listened to Jim D on the radio. For some reason that one wasn't on Amazon Prime.

    The Monday night game was streaming on Yahoo's home page for some reason. I watched the Steelers/Bills game on that too.

    My buddy bought a bigger antenna and mounted it inside his attic. He ran a coaxial cable up to it and split into his old cable like throughout his house. That thing can pick up Youngstown, Cleveland, Erie, etc..... That will be my next move once my kids are old enough that they want to watch different things besides the same Frozen movie on Disney Plus....
