Super Bowl 2020

[ovrszd]

Dish is blocking the Super Bowl here in East Texas too, which is really crazy considering Mahomes is from here, and pretty much everybody either knows him, his mom or his dad. We're friends with his dad and step mom. Lots of people on FB are talking about getting an antenna. I dumped Dish a few months ago and went to an antenna and I've been explaining how I did it to a lot of people. Dish will lose people over this!!

We quit Dish a couple years ago. We stream thru a Roku. Terry was all excited this morning when she realized she will be able to watch it thru Roku. I'm not a sports fan so it didn't matter that much to me.

I think those poor men are under paid...….

While I am close to cutting the cord soon too, I am with Dish on this one. The locals channels get free space on the air waves worth billions and you get those channels free with an antenna but change cable and satellite to rebroadcast, then double that price every 2 years. Then that cost is pushed to me because I do not have an antenna and my Dish bill will go up more often. Then when Dish comes out with a way for me to skip commercials on those free channels that I am now paying for they block it and sue Dish to block it and set up rules to make me wait a week to do it.

Must be a local thing. Dish is actually doing a special broadcast here on channel 540 where you can watch the game in 4K.

GREAT NEWS . My son, who lives in Spokane, gets FOX SPORTS thru a provider other than Dish. So it will be pizza, tacos & beer - delivered in the Taco Wagon.

I thank everybody who provided alternative solutions. It's just a lot easier and more entertaining to watch the game at my son's house. I FINALLY got thru to him on the cell phone and verified that his programing is not blocked.

Now, lets just hope for a good game.

Bugger... I was going to offer my place for you to watch that game, oosik.

It's playing (live) on ESPN(hd) via FOXTEL [satellite] and free-to-air on Channel 7, here in Tassie. Starts tomorrow (Monday) @ 10 am.

Well, I DO appreciate the thought Wagtail. For sure, you guys have some more interesting beer.

I was not aware there was a football game on today...I looked at the Patriots schedule and it dosent show them playing ? ...lol

I bet we can't use the words "Super Bowl" here without paying the NFL their license fee. We have to use the phrase "The Big Game"...

I'm boycotting it anyway. They can keep their Big Game, and overpaid players, commercials and "Half Time Show". Four hours to play a 60 minute game, really?

What's a Super Bowl, the replacement for an iinstapot? (I'm not a sports fan.)

To each his own. Can you imagine a world where everybody liked the same thing.
