I just cut the cord. Any advice for watching football games?

I've already got my Apple TV. And I happen to have a email that works for the Watch ESPN app. Is there anything else I'm going to need to watch football games?

That works with Apple TV or am I going to have to put that on my iPad and AirPlay it?

That's most of what you need. Make sure you get SECNetwork and ESPNU with that subscription. If not, you could check out SlingTV. But I wouldn't recommend Sling if you already have the full ESPN lineup.

I got an antenna to watch the CBS games. I just saw, in that other thread, that all CBS games will be available online. But that probably won't be available on the Apple TV.

BTW, if you get SlingTV for 3 months they will give you a streaming device. (Roku Stick). SlingTV is still not available for Chromecast or AppleTV

I have all ESPN channels through that email. If CBS streams it I think I can find a way to at least AirPlay it to my Apple TV.

I thought about an antennae but my TV isn't really near a window and I dont know how well they work.

I wouldn't definitely have a backup plan this weekend since we are on CBS. Also, I would really like to know how this works after you try it.

Will let you know. I might not have to deal with it this weekend. If things work out I'll be in Gulf Shores watching the game.

Thanks for the input guys

will definitely have to do that at least a couple times. First time in 5 years I won't be at every home game.

Before trying on the Apple TV day of game try it tonight:

Free CBS Games Saturday:

For some reason the Auburn game has "Listen" instead of "Watch"

My cable is now $126 with Internet. It's starting to get painful. How would you watch shows like on AMC and other channels for free?
