watching panther games next season


Recommended Posts

Now that the super bowl is over, I've never been happier to cancel my YouTubeTV subscription.  You see, I adopted "live tv" streaming back with Playstation View when it was only $40/month.  It was everything I wanted when cutting the cord.  Got all my local channels (which is what I cared about at the time) + some sweeteners + cloud DVR.  Then it went away and enter YouTubeTV as the next option.  It started great at around ~$60/month (+/-).  Then $65, then $70, now my bill is $85+ and of course it will keep going up.  The only thing that is watched on our TV (that isn't netflix/prime or a service) is NFL football.

I tried a powered HD antenna.  I located all the antennas using a web site (I'm in Rock Hill, so they're all north of course).  I put the antenna on a window facing North.  But the stations were just outside of a reliable range.  I can pick the channels up, but they digitally stutter and go in and out.  I'd imagine if I was 5-7 miles more north, I'd be golden.

With that context, what's the most cost-effective way to watch the panthers games and post-season next year?  I am fine watching via Ipad and earbuds.  I'm also fine using one of our stand alone Rokus and watching on our tv.  My very quick research led me to the NFL+ app as a good option.

What say you?  Thanks!

i'm northwest of winston salem and i don't have any problem watching them on antenna. i had paramount tv so i could watch the CBS games on that, but fox came through with no problems. CBS was good enough on antenna.

I live in the Mooresville area. I have a small version of the old style metal antennae in the attic. The window mounted things are not great from where I'm at. I live in a grove of trees but with the antennae in the attic I get all the local channels to supplement the streaming services we have.

I've thought about exploring that.  My lot has a similar issue.  I'm in the lowest part of the caul-de-sac surrounded by trees on my north..which also means all my neighbors runoff travels through my yard.  Ugh, but that's another post in off topic.

I would get a large powered outdoor antenna and run coax into the house. I’m pretty happy with mine, I get local weather and sports when I need it. 

Thankfully I have a walkable crawl space and have run ethernet under there to ports in the house.  I could likely just follow that path.  Good thought, thanks.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
