Lost two local TV channels, options?

Is there a way to watch an "out of town" game when the local team is playing at the same time on a given network?

i.e. My DH would like to watch the Packers (Green Bay) games. We winter near Tampa, so when a network is carrying a game on xxx day at xxx o'clock, all that is shown is the Tampa game.

We have most of the streaming network apps, but they know your location and still only present the local teams.

Thanks

Good you have a solution, I wonder why ESPN and Google have the game listed as being on different networks, I don't follow sports, so I'm not familiar with who carries what

I found a solution that works for me. Used the fire stick in my man cave to make the tv there “smart”. Went to ustvgo.tv site per a recommendation and viola, I now have all the channels I could possibly need. If dish has to pull channels in the future I will now know what to do. Can’t record stuff so not as convenient, but a great work around and so far anyway, free.

BTW these channel fights are always about the money. Over the years we have seen several but most are quickly resolved I suspect this one may not be but after Saturday I do not care. BTW, ESPN listed this game as on ABC, which is why I was going there and our local NBC channel we still get does not show it on Saturday.

Yes there is a way. I don’t do it but somebody posted this very issue on this thread or the same thread on IRV2.com it is thru a VPN, whatever that is, and you can select different cities for the video feed.. somebody more techy than me can help you I am sure.

I do have an idea for that as well. He might go to a city tv station in that area that carries the game he wants, some stream their live content. Look around, enlist a tech person and I am sure you can find a way.

I looked at a different forum and found a thing called “locast” that can probably do what you want done. I know nothing about it but it works in several cities around the country. I am using “ustvgo.tv” per recommendation here, it probably usies a different feed than Tampa, so may well have the games he wants. Lots of possibilities, just look around.
