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.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
