    The JustinTV app for iphone lags a bit but will stream the game right to your phone.

    I'm a FiOS user. No worries for me.

    I'm sure plenty of streams will be available come gameday.

    Here it is-

    You get a 30 day free trial so, just signup, connect your computer to your LCD/TV and you're all set.


    http://www.ivi.tv/


    I think there is another option somewhere.

    Not sure why some of you would rather watch the game on in grainy resulotion that's completely unreliable than going to a bar.

    If I have no one to go to the bar with I'll have to use slingbox (luckily my brothers have comcast). I have a roof antenna in my dining room, but no TV going to it right now. I'd have to hook something up otherwise.

    I've never used it, but considering it's a Pay service it must be fairly reliable.

    Can't hurt with the 1 month free. You can signup now and test it tonight.


    If you google them there are tons of articles about the company.

    Game of the year? Wish I was in New Jersey so I could head to the stadium and catch this one live!

    It's always been this way. The reason is the road team is guaranteed to have the game televised to their market, while the home team in theory could have the game blacked out if it's not a sellout.

    Also, it used to be that the local affiliate of the home team had the option of not showing the game or switching to another game, while the road team's affiliate has to show the game and can't switch away from it. That may or may not still be the case, I haven't kept up with that stuff in recent years since I got the DirecTV package.

    Still makes no sense, if the game is locally blacked out that wouldn't stop the rest of the country from watching. We can have a blackout on Fox too.

    The network doesn't matter, just the area it's being broadcast in.

    I feel just the opposite.

    CBS abuses the $#!t out of you with their crappy TV Show Promos.

    The commentators are what annoy me the most on FOX.

    True, but most games aren't broadcast nationally, although they could be and DirecTV shows them all. Either network could broadcast the game but they cater to the visiting market because that is the only one guaranteed to get the game in its entirety. I mean you're right, it could be done either way but this is how they determined to do it way back when blackouts were more common and it's stayed this way for decades.
