    Up until this last year I only watched games on my Apple TV (no cable or regular TV). The only games I totally missed were the L@ker and Clipper games due to regional blackout (which is forever). Other games I missed live were the ones on ESPN, NBATV, etc., but all of those games I could watch after the fact--if they won, so I didn't feel completely limited.

    Also, by subscribing to the package I could also stream them to my iPad.

    Unfortunately I don't have one of those back of the head plug in thingies yet, but probably will some day. (After the AI machines arise).

    This year we went with a new internet provider and got basic cable thrown in for low cost so I am good to go for everything now.

    Find a sports-bar near you. For the price of 2 beers - you can enjoy the game in the company of your fiends - and if you have no friends, the company of others. (*)

    (*) - Also - you get to enjoy the beer.

    A moderator and a spell checker. A tip of Sly's hat for you, my good man.

    Sites that stream it as well as other events. It's how I watch all the UFC cards, sometimes a blazer game if I'm in the office.

    I bought one almost exactly like this a couple of years ago. The trick is to mount it on a wall that is (mostly) unobstructed by landmarks between it and the broadcasting antennae in the West Hills (or the best you can manage). The tech in all of these boosted, antennae are basically all the same. If your Radio Shack antenna isn't working, it's probably more to do with where it's located vs. any design flaws. The best antenna in the world can't overcome being in the bottom of a valley surrounded by hills for instance.

    I think it's 30-40 miles from the tower. For some reason I can't find it online.

    Nobody's mentioned this yet but Hulu has a new streaming TV service. I used PlayStation Vue last season and Chromecast the games to my TV... I use my Xbox one a lot so I tried Hulu for summer league and it worked great.

    Dviss, you must have your antenna positioned weird because even I can pick up like 15 Medford channels from the middle of nowhere.
