Firestick

[glenn57]

Anybody know anything about this thing called firestick?? Apparently this device o suppose to get you to bypass,be able to watch channels on your TV that was mixed by your provider.

Doesn't seem expensive and available, supposedly at best buy.

heard of it, my son had or has one I think...

Similar to ROKU (if that means anything to you).

Once you plug the Firestick into your TV and connect it to your internet wifi, you should be able to add an "NBC App" which is "Peacock".

The subscription to use Peacock is $5/month, but they might have a 30 day trial you could cancel after you watch the game.

I did some looking and I didn't see a free way to stream the game.  Maybe others more savvy than me have some ideas.

Firesticks are used for non-smart TVs, allows you to access youtube, netflix, etc.. There are apps on the firestick that play general movies and TV shows. When I used mine, I found it was typically older shows and a couple a good movies, mixed with a lot of older unknowns.
Now for the complex.
A Jailbroken Firestick (order online)- This typically allows you access apps to any movie or show you can think of. The downfall is these apps are generally in need of consistent updates. "Jailbroken" just means you can download more apps than the original software allows.

Aw, Glenn, just put on your Mahomes jersey, go down to the local watering hole, order up a bucket of Hamms and a side of wings and watch the game with the Great Unwashed.

I'm going to watch it somewhere somehow, if my wife has to pick my over the limit butt up.

I've tried comparing providers,but what a total pain. We each have certain gotta have channels.

There's a bunch of Youtube videos showing how to get all kinds of free cable channels by wrapping tin foil around your head and stuff!

I thought you were going to be watching it up here on the big pond anyway? or did that trip get canceled?

[LPS]

We just got cable and it took care of us.  We get Twins games and all of the major channels, Travel Channel, Food channel etc.  Costs us about $100 a month but at least we get everything we want.  Like Mike said, "its only money".

They all should be good for you 2 as I'm sure they all carry the Hallmark & Lifetime channels.
