NFT: Access to Live Giants Games

MadMax : 9/18/2020 1:31 pm
I've been a long time DirectTV subscriber and since I don't live in the NY area, I was able to get all Giants games through the distance network option. However, since the FCC took that option away, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get live Giants broadcasts other than the Sunday Ticket.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -
Seems like we get a bunch of threads on this every week...

NFL needs to get their shit together with streaming options..

Anyway--

1.) Sunday ticket has a streaming only option if your address qualifies..this is the most official route.

2.) Get a VPN...if you subscribe to cable you potentially could mask your ip to be in NY market and stream the local channel that the game is on.

3.) Also Get a VPN and subscribe to NFL Game Pass International. The international version of game pass not only includes all of the content and replays from every game but also broadcasts ALL games live, providing you subscribe from outside of north america, and your IP is from there too. I did this one season using a netherlands sub and it worked great.

4.) Lesser than legal options: Theres always streaming sites posted here, or on various reddit subs. I hate the ads and it always takes time to find a stream that works great...not my favorite option..

There are also paid iptv services that basically pirate tons of satellite feeds...Cant really get into this one at all, but lets just say they work great.

I typically go for the streaming sites but it certainly gets annoying finding a good one, casting to the tv etc and most subreddits devoted to free streams have been taken down.

For the NFL Game Pass International + VPN option - what's a combo like that run someone for the nfl season? how much do you pay for your VPN?

I bought a VPN for $89 for 2 years. Last week I switched the server to New York (I live in NC) using the app Locast on my firestick, I get all local NYC channels. I watched the Jets game last week.
Will either watch the Chicago or NY feed this week

Sorry if this is a stupid question .... where do you go to buy a VPN? Are private networks offered by ISPs?

Download them to your computer online, they are just software programs. The two I recommend are ExpressVPN and NordVPN. Once downloaded just selected the server in the England, and wherever you go you will look like you are coming from England (same for the Italian server, etc).
So I'm going to buy a separate router

Install express vpn on it, bridge it to my xfinity router, and then watch the games on my tv through my amazon fire stick that has locast installed, does that sound about right?

Router is $85, express vpn is $6 a month. Seems worth it if that will work.

I don't want to watch on my computer.

If you install the vpn on your router just remember that everything in your house/apt will think its in England. This may screw up some other applications. Alternatively you could put the VPN on your tablet (so its not affecting anything else), and then "cast" your tablet to your TV. The TV will just show whatever is on your tablet, like a dumb monitor.

I attempted to install the VPN via the router but it was way too complicated. I installed the app on the firestick and it worked fine via locast. I got NordVPN
Actually I just downloaded  
oghwga : 9/19/2020 11:29 am : link
Express vpn on the fire stick and then downloaded locast and it appears to be working. Should be set.

Thanks all
any good iptv

gerry123 : 9/19/2020 2:02 pm : link

Then get Gamepass Int’l do I need to set up another email account for the gamepass or will the VPN mask my usual one?

Basically if I set the VPN up like its in Europe but my email is here in the States will that work?
3) NFL Game Pass International + VPN option  
D HOS : 9/19/2020 6:31 pm : link
That's the best choice IMO. I use PIA VPN where I signed up with an anonymous yahoo email address though I used my real paypal account for payment. If you are truly paranoid you can find anonymous payment methods involving gift cards that you buy in-store with cash. However for this use, honestly the NFL is not that interested in finding you out if you are ultimately paying them money. And PIA won't give up your info.

Anyway, use PIA to route your Internet through another country and then sign up for NFL Game Pass International. At the bottom of that web page there is a link to change pricing to USD. It's fine if you pay for it with your normal US payment method of choice.

Then just remember to turn on the VPN before accessing the service.

That, I think is the best legal paid option.
Here is a good rundown of various options

The VPN will mask it. However I'm not sure if Gamepass USA is linked with Gamepass Intl. If it is they may find your name and figure out its a dupe. I'd try to use a different name and set up a completely separate account
