I have cut the cord, How to watch the games.

[Holladay]

I have cut the cord because only watch TV for the Chiefs. A long time ago my locals worked in the city. +25 years ago based upon litigation my locals are now Topeka, which is considered not to be KC market. I could though, through CBS NBC ABC, get the games unless they were on prime, peacock, NFL network. But again the only reason I sign up for cable was to watch the games.

Years ago I queried the CP about streaming. Most the comments were negative.

If the games are shown on prime/peacock/NFL network, in theory about 6 to 8 games you will need those services. In the future how many more alternate platforms will NFL choose.

Therefore I ask the CP how best to watch games? Without cable/DirecTV/dish network.

One answer I understand as possible, YouTube TV. I've not very much experience with that. Additionally I believe it costs around 80 or $90 a month. But again, I would only use it to watch the Chiefs.

A friend of mine offered an alternative called VONWIK. From what I understand, they allow 23,000 channels, possibly a Canadian company?, That would allow me to watch the games. This cost $15 a month. Again with 23,000 channels. Also you can't PAUSE/RECORD the game. Dunno. My friend is going to test it again this weekend.

He stated Sunday ticket will show all the games, but he found Chiefs games were blacked out. Don't know.

With the advent of newer and newer technology every year, is there some way to watch the games at a reasonable price. I don't watch TV except for the games.

What say you CP members as ideas?

Probably similar to Sunday Ticket but its best for the noon games, at 3pm there are typically only 3 or 4 games and they tend focus on the big name/game for the slot (ie whatever is on Fox) when there isn't much going on.

If Chiefs are playing then it’s that on the main TV and RZ on 2nd TV, otherwise it’s RZ on main TV and the CBS game on 2nd TV.

Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. Thinking about giving it all a try this year just to see. With the Chiefs being in prime time so much, might get a bit of use out of all of it.

Does NFL + force you to watch commercials even though it is not live?

I just devolved back to antena and dvr. Cause I can’t stand watching stupid commercials.
